We stayed in the studio for 3 adults with spa bath. It was very comfortable and had everything we required. We only had an overnight stay and unfortunately it was raining in the evening when we arrived so we quickly explored the area in the morning before heading up to Mt Cook. Would definitely stay there again.

Good overnight stop
A comfortable overnight stay for a road trip. The receptionist was so friendly. The room was comfortable and close to the toilets/kitchen with free parking outside the cabin.
The toilets and kitchen were relatively clean.

The room is very clean and well-maintained, with jacuzzi bath and very close to the lake. The reception is not quite visible from outside and signage is not easily found. Parking is a bit inconvenient due to the room entrance is facing main driveway to other rooms.

Good choice on the outskirt of Twizel
The motel area of the holiday park is very pretty; the units are modern and well-equipped. My daughter also laved the trampoline on the playground!

The unit we stayed in was ok. When booking the description lake view with hot tub…I didn’t expect the lake to be so far away and the hot tub being a jacuzzi bath in the bathroom. We would loved to have our door open and sit and admire the view however the guest next door smoked all evening so we had to keep our doors shut unles we wanted to share the cigarettes
