We stayed for three nights as part of a group. The memorable part of the stay were the staff- helpful, welcoming, efficient and knowledgeable. The Motel is large and tour buses appear to form a large part of their business. The evening meals were reliable- of a good standard for a large accomodation provider, but nothing outstanding. Breakfasts offered alot... More

Had read some poor reports on this hotel but was very pleasantly suprised - room was very large, staff fantastic, especially the receptionist, fantastic location, clean, would stay again. The only real negative is the food - not great and the evening buffett is grossly overpriced - we took it coz we were starving and arrived late but wouldn't bother... More

This hotel is almost in the middle of no where; Twizel is small, with not a lot to do. The views of Mount Cook we were promised were a little disappointing, as tree etc failed to give us a clear shot. The hotel itself was clean and tidy. It did cater for lots of coach parties, which meant the dinning... More

Although the hotel was clean and comfortable it does cater for a lot of coach parties so, on occasions, gets very busy and can be a little noisy early in the morning when the coaches leave. While we were there the Inn was very busy and we had to take breakfast in the bar area as the dining room was... More

Heading towards Mount Cook, where prices quoted were outrageous, we left it too late in the day to find a room in the accommodation of our choice. Twizel is conveniently located, though there is very little to see there. Even the tourist office appeared to have closed down. We found Mackenzie Country Inn a bit of a barracks, the interior...

Twizel is a great location to overnight while you make a day trip to Mt. Cooke. It's about 60kms south of Mt. Cook. The hotel is a bit dated, but I'm sure it's very heavily used given the proximity to Mt. Cook. The room very clean and quite. The other benefit was that it's right across the street from Poppies...

We stayed here one night on visit to Mt. Cook. The hotel looks fine from the outside. However, our room was so dingy and dated. The carpet was so old it was actually completely worn out in one spot. There were cigarette butts all over the balcony. We were in a standard room and were told no deluxe room were... More

Super clean, as every where else in NZ, but the hotel really needs to be update. Carpet in rooms is totally worn to the thread. Other than that it is ok,
