"Older but OK cabin. Had a distinct musty smell when I opened the door which I could never quite get rid of despite leaving the doors/windows open. The toilet in my room sounded like it was constantly running and could be heard even with the bathroom door closed. The shower was great, but be careful of leaving anything on the floor as water goes everywhere as there is no actual recess or lip to stop it. Good location for access to Aoraki/Mt Cook. Easy walks to get to supermarkets and restaurants."
"We had wanted to stay at Mt Cook resort but it was booked out so we chose the nearest location (60 kms away) at Twizel. There was a paucity of accommodation of what we wanted and we eventually opted with some trepidation for on-site accommodation at the Lake Ruataniwha Holiday Park. We had expected a very spartan arrangement but what a surprise. We had one of their 8 motel units. It was the best such unit we had had on our trip. Very spacious, suitably equipped, lovely outlook on the lawn and lake. The park had a superb barbecue area and a sauna (we did not use). Management was really convivial with the manager Tony and his support Britany very helpful. The other surprise was the town of Twizel. We had expected a one horse town with just a general store and a pub. We were wrong. It had fully developed market place with multiple shops including two supermarkets, several restaurants and a great pub in a very relaxed atmosphere thanks to abundant parking. So overall we had an enjoyable time and also got to see Mt Cook."
"Richard & Sue's home has lots of old soul and character. We are family of 7 and has enough room to sleep with. The area is close by to shops and restaurants.."
"What a great place to stay. It’s been overhauled in the last couple of years so everything is pretty new. Someone put a lot of thought into what to put into each unit. Very spacious. Very clean. Great staff!"
"Excellent house, very clean and tidy, spacious inside and big fenced backyard for the doggie. Nice spot close to town centre, neighbours very quiet. Very nice outdoor seating to take advantage of the very hot Labour weekend weather."
"A very homely spot to stay with lovely views of the mountains. Communication with Sam was excellent, and it’s a great spot being so close to the supermarket, restaurants, and play ground! A very comfy stay. Thanks for having us!"
