Check in was excellent with staff helping us finalize arrangements for a couple of tours. Room was scrupulously clean. Lots of clear instructions for appliances which were all very useful. We didn’t prepare any meals, apart from breakfast and the kitchen utensils etc were more than adequate. Bed was very comfortable. Apartment’s are also very close to shopping and restaurants. Highly recommended.

Hotel feels like it is brand new. So clean inside and out. Great attention to detail on the room and utencils. Great location- 1 block from restaurants and grocery store. 1 block off the main road. Less than 1 hour to Mt Cook. Not many motels have 5 star reviews- this one deserves 6. I wouldn't change a thing. Thanks for a great stay.

Perfect, don’t bother looking anywhere else. The rooms are spacious & brand new. They have a kitchen, washing machine & dishwasher. The beds are comfortable, everything is exceptionally clean and the luxury of drinking a filter coffee whilst doing the washing was bliss. The owners are wonderful and kindly gave us an airer to dry our washing which I prefer to use instead of the dryer.
I had a wonderful time and I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Free parking too. Thank you for such an amazing stay.

A great place to stay

An almost-new, well appointed motel/apartment a short walk from Twizel town centre.

The property had every inclusion we could have wished for, including a dishwasher, microwave and a washing machine/dryer.

The elevator up to the first floor units was a welcome surprise.

Overall, we couldn't fault the Alps Motel Apartment, and would definitely stay there again.

Twizel, too, was excellent.

The hotel has been newly renovated. Everything is clean and new. I would happily stay here again. The only complaint is that we were there for 4 days and at check-in, we were told that the towels would be changed after the second day and that the rubbish bin etc would be emptied. We were ok with this, however, they were never changed, and the bin was never emptied. We went to reception the following day, and new towels were provided. It would be better if they just said to come and collect more towels and supplies when needed. This would eliminate any confusion
