Good overnight stop
A comfortable overnight stay for a road trip. The receptionist was so friendly. The room was comfortable and close to the toilets/kitchen with free parking outside the cabin. The toilets and kitchen were relatively clean.

Quirky old style overnighter
The guy at teception was friendly. The place definitely takes you back in time. Humble basic set up needing some love The shower block was quirky but awesome shower temperature and strength. The bunk beds in our cabin wrre firm and squeaky. The cabin had a bar fridge which was great. Right next to the lake.

The place was great. Very spacious and comfortable. Only the wifi connection was bad. If the management could work on it everything would be perfect.

4/10 Fair

The partial lake view was the only nice thing about this place. Only one of the jets had a reasonable amount of pressure. The faucet came right off when I turned on the tub. The large bed was two twin beds pushed together…and you have to pay for internet…and it still didn’t work. Won’t be staying there again or recommending it to anyone else. Stay somewhere else.

It’s outside of Twizel, 5 mins drive but around 1 hour walk. They dun provide many cooking toolsets, not even a knife. The campsite is very simple and the room is small. The wifi sucks and no network connection. The shower is hot enough and the heater is warm though.

The room was fine and large, 2 bunk beds and tables. chairs, and TV. Parking also fine but it's hard to find the paths/driveways at night since all the inside roads are gravel roads and seems to be not named (turning points). Also, no lights at those roads and driveways and it is very hard to find your way at night. We did not find any cooking utensils or pans here, so you have to bring them your own (most of the holiday parks do have those pans in the kitchen). The stay is overall good but I would say the roads inside the park and the lights should be improved as well as they should create a good kitchen with pans and stuff so the guest can enjoy peacefully.
