Booked in for 2 nights but when we arrived, the room we were given was around the side (no 28 I think) and opposite a working garage. We asked to be moved. The gentleman said he could move us to no 27 in the morning with a Mountain View room. I have to point out that we had a free cancellation of the second night at that point). However, when we got to the morning, it was a lady this time and she said “sorry, no 27 wasn’t available after all”. We couldn’t stay in a room opposite the garage and also a spider ran across the bedding which made me then spot the cobwebs all behind the wardrobe, ceiling, bed etc. we told them we weren’t staying in no 28 for a second night because I had also had no sleep because of my fear of spiders. The guy was back when we called in around 10 am and we told him to refund for one night. We left it with him. He seemed to think there wouldn’t be a problem but would have to refer to the lady. I also spoke to Expedia about it. To date we have NOT had a refund for the second night! This is a highly popular area (Twizel) so would have been easily sold that night to someone else. Very unhappy with the service we received and room no 28!

Having stayed in one of the A frame units previously i anticipated that this what i had booked again. However i was told i was actually in the 'cottage'. This was a sleepout/low end air bnb at best, not to mention that it was on the other side of twizel in an urban street (not part of the motel complex and therefore not associated with all their facilities). There was nowhere to sit and eat (counter top or table). No milk, sugar, salt/pepper. A microwave with no bowls and utensils was the only cooking option. In fairness, milk was provided when i called. The cottage was not serviced during our stay. This was an extremely disappointing booking and i will not be repeating the experience again.

Weird front desk... Seemed it never exists... Picked keys from the room that was open & info at reception door showed my name, room number & where key is located! Checkout was even more interesting as everyone dropped keys in front of the reception door!

An affordable (non-camping) choice to base yourself for the Hooker Valley and surrounding hikes. The A-Frame rooms reminded me of school camps. Lots of timber and basic facilities. The room was clean and large and had everything you need. Great location, plenty of parking and the star gazing was incredible.

Breaking our journey from Dunedin to Christchurch with the idea we’d drive up to Mt Cook after check in. Had a few housekeeping issues which we brought to their attention, so hopefully they are resolved. Friendly helpful staff, comfy bed. Bathrooms need a bit of updating. Heating good.
