Mountain Chalets Motel is just 750 metres from Ben Ohau Golf Course, and 10 minutes’ drive from Lake Pukaki. The Ohau Ski Fields are 35 km away, and Timaru Airport is a 2-hour drive away.

The tour desk can book Lord of the Rings tours and trips to Mount Cook National Park. The motel also offers bicycle rental and a guest laundry.

We stayed with kid and used the hotel mostly for sleep and cooking as we were mostly out for drives and adventures. Ride to Lake pukaki was just 10 mins away. Mount cook was 45 mins away but I must say that was the best drive I have ever experienced in my life, if staying here drive these route for sure: - drive to Mount Cook National park - drive to Lake tekapoo - star gazing as outside the motel it was super dark and the whole sky was full of stars - many small hikes near by - ample space for kids and their play ground with many swings - car parking just in front of your room - independent house as your room - all kitchen stuffs The staff(family running the business) were kind and polite and very helpful. The only thing they need to work on is the wifi, it was poor most of the time and getting disconnected every now and then

    Twizel is well located close to Mt Cook. The motel accommodation was clean but the rules re cooking and checking out were a little draconian.

    Value for money. Free parking. Friendly staff. WiFi. Electric blankets (although one side couldn't be plugged in on both beds due to no socket)

    This is very much a motel, so it’s not fancy. But everything was clean and comfortable and it’s right near the main square.

    It was great that these we’re more like private cabins than motel rooms! We loved the kitchenette and appreciated having parking right in front of our cabin. Great location just 2 mins from town and 45 mins from Mt. Cook! They also let us check in early, which was greatly appreciated!

    We stayed in the holiday home not the Motel. We loved the house, the beds, the private yard, Sky movies, spacious kitchen/living area, additional toilet, cleanliness, and nicely decorated home. Lovely check in by a young man.

    The room was good size, and comfy. The motel owner was very friendly, and helpful. We had to stop there because of car issues, and the owner was very nice.
