Booked in for 2 nights but when we arrived, the room we were given was around the side (no 28 I think) and opposite a working garage. We asked to be moved. The gentleman said he could move us to no 27 in the morning with a Mountain View room. I have to point out that we had a free cancellation of the second night at that point). However, when we got to the morning, it was a lady this time and she said “sorry, no 27 wasn’t available after all”. We couldn’t stay in a room opposite the garage and also a spider ran across the bedding which made me then spot the cobwebs all behind the wardrobe, ceiling, bed etc. we told them we weren’t staying in no 28 for a second night because I had also had no sleep because of my fear of spiders. The guy was back when we called in around 10 am and we told him to refund for one night. We left it with him. He seemed to think there wouldn’t be a problem but would have to refer to the lady. I also spoke to Expedia about it. To date we have NOT had a refund for the second night! This is a highly popular area (Twizel) so would have been easily sold that night to someone else. Very unhappy with the service we received and room no 28!

Having stayed in one of the A frame units previously i anticipated that this what i had booked again. However i was told i was actually in the 'cottage'. This was a sleepout/low end air bnb at best, not to mention that it was on the other side of twizel in an urban street (not part of the motel complex and therefore not associated with all their facilities).
There was nowhere to sit and eat (counter top or table). No milk, sugar, salt/pepper. A microwave with no bowls and utensils was the only cooking option. In fairness, milk was provided when i called.
The cottage was not serviced during our stay.
This was an extremely disappointing booking and i will not be repeating the experience again.

An affordable (non-camping) choice to base yourself for the Hooker Valley and surrounding hikes. The A-Frame rooms reminded me of school camps. Lots of timber and basic facilities. The room was clean and large and had everything you need. Great location, plenty of parking and the star gazing was incredible.

The motel itself looked as if it needed tlc. Gardens were untidy and unloved. The actual rooms were ok and a good size and clean. There was no hairdryer and no milk left for us, everywhere else we were left it. If i was booking from the street i would not have bothered. If they made effort and did the gardens the street apeal would be better.

The motel unit was fantastic and cozy. Had 3 single bed in the upstairs and a queen down stairs. Was nice and tidy. However the town really disappointed us. On mondays apparently everything is closed. We got in at 8 and there was no food establishment open so we had to skip dinner. But the room nonetheless was great! So defiantly stay here but just not on a Monday.

Stayed October 2023. Basic accommodation, basic facilities, everything looks tired and worn out in need of an update. TV seemed to still be analogue only picking up two channels, a bit odd. Staff were fine, provided extra blankets and hot plate, but might consider making that standard in the rooms. Twizel itself is not a great place, it's not even that near Mt. Cook, the only real attraction in the area, not an attractive town in itself with limited amenities and odd characters wandering round the streets making it seem unsafe.

Given the glowing reviews of service before, I suspect management has changed hands. Service is poor.
1) check out is by 1000 and one is charged every 30 mins for late checkout. Office states open 830-8pm. No one there at 0940, door locked, several of us roaming around trying to figure out how to turn in keys. No drop box. Buzzer for emergency only. Phone calls go to voicemail. We left a message leaving the key in cabin on table.
2) phone call outgoing message is \"hello, leave a message\". Is this the right number?? Cant tell. They need to have a professional voicemail noting their venue name.
3) they charged me twice for one night stay. Attempts to call ended up w the non discript voicemail. Next contacted Hotels.com. i got chatbot, who sent me to a chat agent, this was accidentally dropped call. Back in queue to bot, agent, then had to call customer service. They called hotel twice with no answer. Boosted up to next level of customer service and call dropped. Attempts to call wont go thru. Issue not resolved yet. I am in a remote area of New Zealand and will need to wait to make more phone calls.

The cabin itself was very clean. AC worked well to cool down the warm afternoon space. Kitchenette satisfactory. Light above bathroom sink is out, cant tell them bc no one at reception and they dont answer calls or have an email.
Be cautious due to service issues.
