Area around the property was full of nature and vast, breakfast served was very nice, however facility itself was very old and wasn't well maintained. Definitely not worth what we paid. Staff at the check in wasn't so friendly. Overall average.

The rooms were clean, just very outdated and worn. The linens were newer and clean. Twizel also has a good variety of restaurants to choose from that are a very short drive away.

No elevator! You have to take your bags on the 1st floor yourselves! No helper. No A/C!

It’s a small town with few places to stay. This is probably the best of the bunch. However this property could benefit from an update. Flooring, paint and bathrooms are the areas most in need of improvement.

The water pressure in the shower was inadequate to put it gently, and everything seemed quite outdated. However, it was clean, fairly comfortable, and the price was pretty good.

Rooms need alot of upgrades, The overall property could be a really high grade hotel if the rooms get upgraded. Bed was too hard. Firm but with a comfort layer, not like I am sleeping on the floor. Not enough lighting in the room, ie downlights.

Dated but comfortable
A very dated hotel but still comfortable. Room needs upgrading, some peeling wallpaper and the bath felt like it may fall through! Breakfast was not good though, defo do the short walk into the small town and get something there instead.

Good location, an old room with outdated furniture
Friendly team, an old room with outdated furniture, no furniture on the patio, and weak water flow in the shower.
