Overall this is great value for money, considering the prices charged in the surrounding area and further out at Tekapo.
The house was comfortable and had all the mod-cons you would need for a trip in rural NZ. This includes a hot shower, a washing machine and a fully equipped kitchen. It was also very clean and warm with a heat pump available in the living room area.
Also really appreciative of the owner who warmly greeted us on arrival and told us that due to public works, water would not be available for late next morning. This gave us plenty of options to work around it - thanks!

If we could give a higher rating, we would. One of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed at. Super warm and homey with an incredibly tranquil view. Delicious breakfast and an ultra clean room.

The host was accommodating to my last-minute booking and late arrival. The property is immaculate and wonderfully located for visiting Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park. My only regret is that I couldn't stay to enjoy it longer or especially on a moonless night for night sky viewing!

Twizel is a great base for all the wonderful activities the region has to offer--dark skies, Alps to Ocean, Āoraki, incredible lakes, hot springs, hiking. A lot of very good restaurants with something for all tastes. Two or more grocery stores, with great wine selections and customer service. Great outfitters for biking.

We have been here a few times now and love it. It is the gateway to Mt Cook - we have done a heli hike, some wonderful walks and tramps, taken in the rivers and lakes, soaked in the hot tubs, eaten at local restaurants, shopped in the local stores, star gazed .... the list goes on.
The locals are super friendly - Twizel is just down the road from Tekapo but is nowhere near as busy or commercial. Accessible from Christchurch or Queenstown - you can fly into one, rent a car and fly out from the other, or just do a round trip. We will be back !!

Restaurants and cafes very busy and some were closed. Since it was Easter Sunday and the finish of Warbirds Airshow, we had difficulty finding somewhere to have dinner and certainly no place for breakfast.

Twizel is a small town but growing, with new housing areas on the edge of town and spreading out from there. It is mainly a holiday town but has a core of permanent residents.
It has a nice wee shopping area, good restaurants and is handy to the other lakes in the area and to a ski field in winter. It also gives easy access to Aoraki Mt Cook and the Waitaki Valley.

Cute town.
Cute town. It has what one needs to enjoy the getaway—groceries, pharmacy, gas, some clothing stores. And, most importantly, nice people who—in spite of the numbers of tourists who are in and out of town—are kind and helpful. Thank you, Twizel!

Nice little place with easy access by car to several lakes and the Hooker Valley walk. Nice river walk with views to Mt Cook.
Twizel has few tourists that we saw and has a very different feel to it than Tekapo, which we didn’t like at all.
We didn’t eat out in Twizel, but we did see a few restaurants, we cooked at the house as had great facilities there.
Good supermarkets.
Location and price was great. Exterior design was nice along with a fully equipped kitchen. The best part of this hotel that all of us liked was the customer service provided by the team. We had requested an HDMI cable in order to watch a show on tv and the lady at the reception was helpful and went above and beyond to provide us the cable we had requested. It was great!
This accommodation is perfect for larger groups, offering ample space, every room has its own bathroom.
Very cozy, especially with the fireplace.
The location is a major plus, easily accessible and close to Twizel, but also not a far drive from the awesome landscapes in the area. Our overall experience was great and would definitely book again.
We really liked Twizel but if you or your travelling companion is high-maintenance, you might not be as happy as we were at the High Country Lodge. It's a budget option and actually quite intriguing. So, we enjoyed it enormously, and give it a high review, but it's not luxury... Spectacular water pressure in the shower was a real treat.
Thank you so much Jordan and Twizel Getaways for the marvelous, awesome and unique stay you offered us during our time in the surroundings of Aoraki/Mt. Cook. Everything was perfect! Pity we booked The Cabin Omahau Downs for such a short time. Next time in South NZ it will definitely be longer :-)
Amazing house, everything you need in a house, comfortable beds, lovely well equipped kitchen, nice 2 outdoor seating areas, nice bathroom, halfway between Mt. Cook and Lake tekapo, fairly quick replies from host, lovely reataurants nearby...fishtail, poppies, high country salmon
The room was clean. We enjoyed using the space and it met our needs. It's a very nice motel. The owners were very friendly and accommodating. This motel was close to restaurants, Mt Cook, and Lake Tekapo. I would definitely come back.
Everything was perfect! From the location and friendly staff to the clean and spacious room and complimentary breakfast, the hotel exceeded our expections. Would 100% recommend and come back if we visit NZ again.
Clean, tidy, spacious unit. Cosy and warm. People in Twizel were very friendly and helpful with information about things to do and where to eat.
Would definitely go back and would stay at Colonial Motel again.
Our cabin was spacious and we appreciated the addition of a mini fridge. The laundry facilities were also good. The holiday park is in a very peaceful area with a good view of the stars on a clear night.
Loved the cabin. Very clean and well appointed. Comfortable bed. The city of Twizel lost water due to a broken water main while we were there but we were kept aware of the progress made on the repairs.
Big comfortable space. Nice bathroom and an additional half bath. Washer was availble with detergent. Close to Twizel and grocery and restauants. About 45 minute drive to Mt Cook area.
A wonderful motel for three or more people having two bedrooms.
Bathroom shower was amazing. Will stay again due to a wonderful motel and friendly people, both staff and fellow guests.
After staying in our van for a week, was a much needed reprieve. Really tidy and clean! Guy at the front desk was a legend. What a lovely friendly town twizel is :)
Strategic location, near Mt. Cook National Park. Great host and complete facilities, especially the washing machine and dryer—a valuable thing for backpackers! :)
Always enjoy our stay with Lake Ruataniwha Holiday Park made all the nicer with the hoar frost. The replacement bigger heater was fantastic and much appreciated.
