Twizel is very much a summer destination so the hotel offers accommodation only We were warmly welcomed and immediately told that neither the restaurant nor the bar would be open. As Twizel was just our overnight stop on our way from Christchurch to Queenstown this was not a major issue. It became no issue at all when it was pointed out that Poppies cafe and restaurant was just across the street from the hotel We were given a local map and we were recommended a restaurant for our evening meal a short drive away. The room was large and the beds were very comfortable. The hotel is away from the town centre so it was very quiet. We got a good night's sleep. Poppies lived up to its billing and the brunch set us up for the day's drive. While I have deducted one star for the lack of onsite catering it was not an issue for us. I would certainly be happy to return to the hotel in the summer and stay for a few days to explore the town and its surroundings.
The clerk was very nice and even gave candies to the children. It was right by the lake. The room was very comfortable. Although there was no breakfast, there was a kitchen where you could make your own breakfast and dinner. After dinner, it was very convenient to take a walk by the lake. The water was very hot and the room was big.

It is a quiet neighborhood hotel. It is a great location to visit Mound Cook. The advantage of this hotel is the water pressure of a bathhouse. This is my first time experiencing such strong water pressure in a hotel. Although it is an old building, the facilities are well maintained and it is a great value for money place to relax.
We booked for one night on booking.com for 31st December 2023. My credit card was charged immediately. The next day Glenna from the motel text me to say I would need to cancel my booking because they have a minimum 4 night stay over that period. She blamed it all on booking.com that I was able to book that date and never took any responsibility herself. I was made to feel like I had done something wrong?! The terms and conditions clearly said if I cancelled I wouldn’t receive a refund. Yet she asked me to cancel from my end (presumably to save on a penalty charge she would receive from booking.com). I said I thought the booking should still be honoured in the circumstances. She declined and then cancelled the booking from her end. I asked how I get my refund, she said I would need to contact booking.com and made no effort to assist me with that at all. The customer service was terrible and we will not stay here again or recommend it to others - we had previously stayed here. I am still now waiting on my refund!
Facilities: Very complete, with washing machine/dryer/dishwasher
Environment: Very new hotel, just checked in on the first day of opening
Service: The boss is very nice, check-in and check-out are very fast, and help is very timely
Fantastic Air Lodge! Super new, neat and clean, spacious, luxurious and comfortable. Delicious breakfast. The hosts (Mary and Mudy) were very friendy and sweet. We even were allowed to put our Cessna in their hangar and use their spare car for driving. Fantastic location and view of the scenery (WX), runway and windsack! Ideal for day trips discovering the south island incl. Milford Sound ;-). Small village with good food (recommending Fishtail/Indian cuisine and the Poppies Cafe for the local Mt Cook Salmon) nearby. Book in advance - Pukaki Air Lodge is veeery busy and cyclicts love it as they use it as stop for the Alps to Ocean trail. Thx for an incredible stay! :)))
