The updated room was clean, spacious, and comfortable. Check-in was a breeze and appreciated the dinner recommendations. We enjoyed sitting outside under the stars at the table & chairs provided. When we're back in Twizel, we would stay here again!

Giving motels a great name

This motel gives motels a good name. Very clean, comfortable, with parking adjacent to your motel unit. Warren at the front desk is both friendly and super helpful. He rearranged our following days plans with great ideas, and we were happy with the result. Great place to stay!

Clean, spacious, and friendly staff

Super friendly staff, easy check-in (also offered a bottle of milk for tea), and the room was spacious! Large living area with lots of seating, great bathroom, plenty of space in the kitchen, and separate bedroom. Check-out was easy as well. Great location for accessing Aoraki Mount Cook National Park.

What looks like an old motel from the outside first impressions turns out pretty damn good inside. I had a one bedroom apartment and was really ok inside. Had everything you needed. No oven but a double hob . Plenty of pop up eateries just on the other side each evening and also coffee vans in the morning.

The room was very clean, with many extras we did not use, but would be nice if we stayed longer. The rooms were cool, but it is winter. There were extra blankets and an electric blanket for the bed. The shower was very nice and hot, unfortunately the light also turned on the fan and pulled cool air through . The owner was very helpful with restaurant info as well as help with other issues we had. We would come back!
