Great peaceful location, modern conveniences. The owner is truly a master metal artist; his gallery is worth the visit.

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.
Really nice apartment in Twizel. Great location only about a 5 minute walk from the main strip. We spent the day in Mount Cook and were heading down to Te Anau the following day and this was the perfect place to spend 1 night to break up our journey and save some time on the road not backtracking to Lake Tekapo for a second night.
Comfortable bed, quiet and clean. Designated parking spot.
We ate at Fishtail for dinner and Mint + Co for breakfast and would recommend both.
Arriving to a beautiful, warm house was fabulous.
All bedrooms are lovely and welcoming and the living space was just perfect - the kitchen had every utensil you could possibly need.
Definitely keen to head back for a summer visit.. the outdoor space is as inviting as the indoor.
Fabulous location for walking to Twizel shops and restaurants.
We loved staying at Rathlin Cottage, and would book the same accommodation for our future trips to Twizel.
A spacious, comfortable and modern room that felt nice and private. Everything was clean, tidy and there's a handy folder with recommendations of local walks / things to do. It's a good location, an easy walk to various bars / restaurants and parking was simple. There's a small car park (accommodating around 3 cars) for the hotel but you're down a quiet side street so there's plenty of roadside parking also.
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.
There were inexpensive food trucks only a block away. (The hotel also has a convenient buffet at their on-site restaurant but we weren't that hungry for a large meal). The property is well maintained. There was a small refrigerator in the room (but I think that is pretty standard in NZ).
Have stayed in this motel multiple times. I like the style of the units, some might say dated but I think they are cool. Can park right outside and walk into Twizel. Cosy with the heatpump running. Plenty of space in the cabins, some have views to Mount Cook/Aoraki . Will stay again.
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
Rosedale Cottage combines the charm of a small, intimate setting with the comfort of a well-appointed hotel. The lovely host and comfortable accommodations make for a memorable and enjoyable stay. It’s an ideal choice for travelers seeking a cozy retreat with a personal touch.
Second time I’ve stayed at twizel holiday park, the whole thing is super easy! I come to twizel once a month at a minimum from Dunedin and am fishing for 15 hours at least of the day, so it’s nice to have a place as little Hassle as possible! Looking forward to the next trip
Room was large, comfortable, clean, and walking distance from town. Driving up to the Motel it looks like a old world motel and was a bit concerning, but the inside and the staff were great. Truly enjoyed my stay.
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.
I always stay here when in Twizel. The location is very handy. The rooms are clean, though a bit dark. Plenty of car parking. Near to the town center. The bathroom is nice and clean. Overall a good stay.
Nice, self-contained unit. Had parking, a nice view, and was convenient to the things I was in Twizel to do. Quiet and private. Good little kitchen and well furnished
Extremely accommodating and helpful as it was a busy time of year and our other booking fell through with a different hotel, awesome to deal with and good size rooms
Strategic location, near Mt. Cook National Park. Great host and complete facilities, especially the washing machine and dryer—a valuable thing for backpackers! :)
