This hotel offers 24-hour front desk service, and the staff are very friendly. The rooms are clean and tidy, and while they are small, they are well-equipped with everything you need. The location is very convenient, right in the city center. The hotel also has a shared kitchen, which is very handy. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel!

Amazing place! Location and view was absolutely spectacular! Could not ask for a better place to stay with my family. Right on the lakes edge and just a walk to everything. We were also so close to the snow tubing which the kids loved! Will stay here again in the future.

The cottage is very nice and had everything we needed
It was warm and cozy and the bed was very comfortable. I appreciated having an electric blanket.
A good location for day trips to Mount Cook, Tekapo, or further south to Cromwell. The clay cliffs are worth a visit.
Overall, it was an excellent place to stay, even in winter. Although it was foggy at Twizel, Mount Cook, which is about 45 minutes drive away, it was beautiful there, so we'll worth going to.

Great location that is near to city centre, though shared -- the toilets are private for one person use, great value for money paid, the staff is helpful for smooth check-in, eating spaces below and kitchen provided. Room is clean.

Location was relativity close to the city centre, good size room, lots of parking. Sky TV option. Heating was okay, downside was it’s on a 2 hr timer so room goes cold often.

The location was good, easy to get to the city centre eateries and a great park across the road for walking. The teddy bear for our daughter was the greatest touch, the complimentary apples in the hallways were great and the staff were very friendly.
