We were not sure what to expect with our stay here. It is mostly a holiday campground for tents and trailers, but they have 8 hotel rooms for rent. The room and bathroom were spacious with a well-equipped kitchenette. There was a nice patio with chairs and a cafe table. The beds were comfortable and the room was spotless. The campground personnel were helpful and friendly. The campground is on a lovely lake with hiking trails. Fishing is close by. The location is conveniently located near Twizel. We were pleasantly surprised by our very comfortable accommodations.

A bit basic - no coffee maker other than instant. House keeping is nothing more than new towels and dish towels. Water backed up in the bath and all sinks on our last morning. The were still full when we left. Pay a little more and stay in a nicer place.

We stayed in the studio for 3 adults with spa bath. It was very comfortable and had everything we required. We only had an overnight stay and unfortunately it was raining in the evening when we arrived so we quickly explored the area in the morning before heading up to Mt Cook. Would definitely stay there again.

Big room . Very clean . Just 5 mins from shops and restaurants. Nice walks around lake. Lake view only when sat at the small table in corner or sat out side, which was also spoilt by tents and campers, but overall good value for money

The pod was comfortable and matched the description. It is located within a larger holiday park that seems more worn down. The common areas were functional but could use some updating.
