Conveniently located near food and the main road to head out of Twizel. Appreciated the kitchenette with a kettle and refrigerator. Quiet and had what I needed. Wifi was very poor. Only briefly early morning was it ok and then it was so slow nothing would load.

The staff was friendly and helpful. The check in was very easy. It was a great location for our activities. We were not expecting anything special and that is what we got so we were fine with the stay over all. It is a cabin after all.

The motel itself looked as if it needed tlc. Gardens were untidy and unloved. The actual rooms were ok and a good size and clean. There was no hairdryer and no milk left for us, everywhere else we were left it. If i was booking from the street i would not have bothered. If they made effort and did the gardens the street apeal would be better.

침구나 수건에서 조금 냄새가 나고, 처음에 간이주방에 프라이팬과 전기그릴이 없어 당황했지만, 주인분께 말씀드리니 직접 방으로 가져다 주셨어요. 숙소 상태는 솔직히 좋진 못하지만.. 가격이 저렴하고 주인분이 굉장히 친절해요:)

Need replacing furnishings

Room has sufficient clean towels and looks nice from the outside, pillows are too flat, bed too soft. The bedroom window has a gap and cold wind coming through. Sofas are not comfortable at all.

DO NOT STAY HERE ON A MONDAY The motel unit was fantastic and cozy. Had 3 single bed in the upstairs and a queen down stairs. Was nice and tidy. However the town really disappointed us. On mondays apparently everything is closed. We got in at 8 and there was no food establishment open so we had to skip dinner. But the room nonetheless was great! So defiantly stay here but just not on a Monday.

Quirky, basic accommodation that was easy to find. Unfortunately our shower was either hot or cold, as mixer tap was broken. Beds were comfy.

Cute little chalet, easy check in. Clean bed, nice kitchenette. Not too far from Christchurch, great launching point for Lake Tekapo, Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park, and Wanaka. Can walk to downtown/restaurants, a park with old machinery just across the road kids might like.

We so appreciated the location and having our own kitchenette. There was coffee in unit and parking right in front of our chalet. Lots to love! Our problem was with the beds, which are in desperate need of replacement. None of us slept well.
