the kitchen, the staff, the rooms. regarding the facilities is one of the best hostels I have ever stayed at. Great amenities, and common spaces like a movie room, the rooms are nice, you have a toilet inside the room but also there are public toilets which are very practical. overall everything is awesome.

Really appreciated the cleanliness of the room as well as the mini kitchen. The location of the hotel is great too - it's a 10 min walk to the nearest mall and the street has many restaurant options. The cafe situated in the lobby also serves really good Vietnamese food and coffee as well as other brunch food.

The hotel is conveniently located close to the airport. We were able to check in early which enabled us to drop our suitcases off before returning our motorhome, which was great. The pool and jacuzzi were fantastic. The hotel restaurant was delicious and affordable. The staff were very helpful, even in the middle of the night. To top it all off, we had to get to the airport at 4 a.m. and the hotel has a complimentary 24/7 airport shuttle available. Fantastic place to stay!

    We were welcomed immediately by Sharon, the manager, and she also helped us carry our luggage upstairs. Because we are elderly she asked if there was anything we needed to make things easier for us, eg. a downstairs apartment rather than upstairs. We loved the view from upstairs. We offered to fix a squeaky door hinge but a handyman came and fixed it the moment we mentioned it. Sharon was full of ideas and suggestions for meals and activities. They all worked out well.

    We booked a cabin for 3 nights. Us and our 2yr old and 4yr old. The cabin was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. It has a lovely little deck area then onto a lawn which was perfect for the children. A playground in the main camping area also fab. Toilets and showers really close. Everything was clean and the owners are lovely. We had such a great time.

    I adore Lake Tekapo. Views for days. Good hot pools. Peaceful. A decent serious hike up Mt John to the Observatory Cafe or an easier one up to Cowes Lookout, both with amazing views. I've been going for years - still small but a good supermarket now and more eateries. It is getting busier and pricey, both accommodation and eateries. On the road to Queenstown so an easy stopover. Go with a car if you can - a side trip into Aoraki Mt Cook and walks up the Hooker Valley are worth it.

    Mount Cook Village is a great location if you are planning to do some walks in the area. We did the Hooker Valley Track, Sealy Tarn Track, and the Tasman Glacier View after which we were exhausted and travelling to another location would have been a bit much. Staying at the village was the best decision. At night you can travel slightly out to get the most exceptional views of stars and in the morning you wake up to unbelievably beautiful views of mountains. If you are lucky you might just get some snow.

    My husband and I have been coming to Twizel for several years now. My husband comes for the fishing and I for the photography. We have stayed in all seasons. This time it was July middle of winter. Didn't catch any fish but I got some great photos. Had a lovely meal out at Poppies. Would recommend them. We were disappointed with our accommodation, but it didn't ruin our stay in Twizel.
