Overall this is great value for money, considering the prices charged in the surrounding area and further out at Tekapo.
The house was comfortable and had all the mod-cons you would need for a trip in rural NZ. This includes a hot shower, a washing machine and a fully equipped kitchen. It was also very clean and warm with a heat pump available in the living room area.
Also really appreciative of the owner who warmly greeted us on arrival and told us that due to public works, water would not be available for late next morning. This gave us plenty of options to work around it - thanks!

If we could give a higher rating, we would. One of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed at. Super warm and homey with an incredibly tranquil view. Delicious breakfast and an ultra clean room.

The host was accommodating to my last-minute booking and late arrival. The property is immaculate and wonderfully located for visiting Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park. My only regret is that I couldn't stay to enjoy it longer or especially on a moonless night for night sky viewing!

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.
This is the 2nd time we stayed in this holiday park, experience of different unit, cottage & cabin.
We totally love this place, staff friendliness, cleanliness. from room to kitchen, bath facility, open space, even all the residence are very friendly, help keep all facilities in tip top position.
Very good location, near grocery shops, fishing spot & many more scenic places within short distance.
We highly recommended this AAA+++ holiday park.
We loved the location, grounds, privacy, view, well-equipped kitchen, comfortable bed, walk-in robe and storage, good quality towels and bedding. The cottage was beautifully presented and sparkling clean. Having a washing machine and dryer is always a bonus when you're on the road. Twizel is an excellent base for Mt Cook National Park and Tekapo. Kea Cottage, being just a couple of minutes from the town centre, was perfect.
Tony, the host met us immediately we pulled up. He was very friendly and took us around the property to show us all the features. It was a cold night and they already had the electric blankets on to warm the beds up. The house was warm and comfortable. The hosts have looked at what a guest might need during their stay and have provided it. We will definitely book here next time we are in Twizel.
This was the cutest and best Airbnb we have ever stayed in and we have stayed in a lot. Super comfortable bed and accommodations , views out every window, robes, great snacks and continental breakfast, best shower of whole month long trip and super fun outdoor tub to enjoy star gazing or morning coffee. I only wish we could have stayed longer. I highly recommend this adorable cottage!!
Very comfortable and spacious holiday house. All amenities are there including a big fridge / freezer, big laundry machine (can do a hot laundry) and even a vacuum cleaner. Twizel is not a very interesting town but it is close to many interesting spots including Mt. Cook of course. We had some minor issues with the carbage but the staff reacted very quickly and adequately on that.
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.
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.
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.
Clean, tidy, spacious unit. Cosy and warm. People in Twizel were very friendly and helpful with information about things to do and where to eat.
Would definitely go back and would stay at Colonial Motel again.
The bed was very comfortable. Good proximity to everything the town has to offer and only 50 minutes to Mount Cook and 40ish mins to Lake Tekapo, making it an ideal location for exploring yjt area.
After living in hotel rooms it was so nice to have a home to rest in with full facilities & privacy with magnificent views.
the home was very tastefully furnished & a delight to stay in.
After staying in our van for a week, was a much needed reprieve. Really tidy and clean! Guy at the front desk was a legend. What a lovely friendly town twizel is :)
Lake Ruataniwha Holiday Park seems to be evolving into a great place to stay .
With the updated cabins it's become a real place away from home .
Well Done .
No hotel restaurant. Most eating spots in Twizel closed. Very old and dated, the AC was old and noisy. But the room is big and staff is nice and friendly.
