The location was good and was a few minutes walk away from the town centre.
Property was kept clean. Laundry was a bonus for us.

The place is slightly away from the town centre but it is totally fine as we can see the sky right after we step out of the house. The house is also good enough to keep us warm. Teresa has been a very nice host to check us up during our stay.

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.
Pukaki Air Lodge is in a great location, close to Twizel town centre and Lake Pukaki. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and possibly have the best shower I've used in a hotel/lodge. Staff are friendly and helpful, and there is a full kitchen available for guests to use, alongside coffee/tea in room. Having breakfast included was a great bonus!
With views straight out onto the airstrip and great views of Mt Cook, I feel like it would be hard to find somewhere as beautiful to stay.
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.
Great value. Extremely clean. Nice attention to detail with a guidebook, coffee and hot cocoa. Great bathroom with nice soap, body wash, and shampoo. Modern TV with many channels and smart apps.
Easy checkin with a funny and traditional kiwi bloke. Super low key and non corporate which I like.
Cute property, well kept.
Would stay again. Twizel is a quaint little town but it’s perfect after a long walk through Mt Cook.
We booked the place as we will be doing a trail at Mt Cook and the location was perfect. It was close the Mount Cook, the salmon shops and Twizel town. The room was clean, spacious, and comfortable. The place has a small kitchen to prepare meal, enough for one person to be in. There is also enough space to park our car. The area was quiet and peaceful too. I would recommend the place for a couple of small group of friends!
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.
I like the big room we had - we got an upgrade. Plenty of space especially as we traveled as a couple. Beds were comfortable and we were very warm. Lots of parking available. It was easy to locate the hotel. We arrived after the reception was closed - the instructions and key access was easy to understand and made checking in simple.
We stayed in the studio motel room 102. It was large, clean and well appointed. Giant king size bed and a single, suited our family of three very well. Well equipped kitchenette with toaster and kettle. 5 minute drive to Twizel and a short walk to lake ruataniwha. Playground is old and dangerous to my eyes but my 7yo loved it!
The property is a modern three bedroom holiday home of a good size with most of the amenities of home. A large fridge and a washing machine were appreciated as was the outside seating area. The location is quiet and seems to mostly be other holiday homes. Not too far from the shops where there were several places to eat.
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
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
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.
Nice warm rooms with a separate bedroom.Clean.Very comfortable warm bed.The French girl on reception (sorry didn't get her name) was super friendly and helpful.She provided a hair-dryer. Good shops right in front of hotel.
I have been on a road trip for the past 8 days with 7 different hotel accommodations. Thus far, the "Townhouse Feel in Irishman" has been the only one deserving a "Perfect 10." I highly recommend this accommodation.
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.
Love the space. Sure it’s a little dated but I had a corner room that had a living area/kitchen separate from bedroom. Close to town and close enough to Mt Cook and Lake Tekapo.
A well appointed Motel, organised, and clean. Near to Twizel township facilities. Bonus having the three private food vendors just across the road for first evening meal.
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
