Area around the property was full of nature and vast, breakfast served was very nice, however facility itself was very old and wasn't well maintained. Definitely not worth what we paid. Staff at the check in wasn't so friendly. Overall average.

The rooms were clean, just very outdated and worn. The linens were newer and clean. Twizel also has a good variety of restaurants to choose from that are a very short drive away.
