the welcoming attentive arrival, the superb views and connection with Aoraki/Pukaki, the huge hip bath! the outdoor setting and the privacy. Meal was very good, modest easy to eat portions beautifully presented; help yourself tea coffee etc a great idea. Very easy access to the A2O trail and lakeside and to the kettlehole area.
The room a bit small, and inventory is old, but it´s equipped with everything you actually need, its functional and is cozy. I felt comfortable and also the staff is friendly and helpful. the shared kitchen is well equipped. I would come back anytime.
From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, Hugh and Dwayne went out of their way to ensure our stay was memorable! Stellar hospitality in a stunning home in a breathtaking location. Hands down our best B&B experience ever. Thanks boys!
We had a great stay in Otematata. The apartment was very clean and equipped with everything we needed. The staff is super friendly and will help wherever it is needed.
Thanks for everything!
Very clean, comfortable, well supplied, even a cooker. We especially appreciated the friendly, helpful staff who were understanding when we called to say we'd be late due to car trouble.

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.

We lived in Omarama approximately 30 years ago. It was lovely to see the progress in the town. There is plenty of places to eat out and all of them offer a good range of food, with friendly efficient staff.

A discovery really, as it was the most convenient place for a break in our journey but what a wonderful central location it turned out to be to see many surrounding wonders. Each season would have its own reasons for spending time here, which is exactly what I now intend to do.

My wife and I really cannot rave about this retreat enough. The villas are exceptionally appointed and spacious. The environment is picturesque, tranquil and peaceful. The food provided in the villas and the meals cooked by the chef are truly delicious and guests individual tastes are catered for. The staff are very welcoming and friendly whilst ensuring that privacy is a key component of the experience. The villas could not be cleaner or more tastefully presented. We doubt anyone could be disappointed in their stay at this retreat.

Cute, small town with the most amazing scenery. The town itself is very small, but offers so much with scenic walks, activities & the locals are super friendly.
We had dinner at the Razza Bar - a small, old school bar with the best atmosphere & great food.
The owner was really friendly and told us all about the lord of the rings filming and where we could find the area where the fight scene was filmed which was very cool.
Beautiful place & we can’t wait to come back

Often overlooked as a passing point to more exotic destination, this little stop over town has a few worthy attractions; the Clay Cliffs, the Ahuriri River, the Hot tub and the Glider rides etc.
It is also near Twizel and Lake Ohau too.

I didn’t see much of Otematata as I arrived late afternoon, had a meal and then retired to my room. The next day we drove on to Geraldine early morning. The countryside is interesting, the views superb, I love the McKenzie country and I’ll return for longer next time.
I ate at the Best little pub and had a very good meal

Twizel is a good centre point for 2 lakes Lake Pukaki and Lake Takapo.
Compare with stay in Lake Takapo, Stay in Twizel is more valuable. If you are hiring car yourself to teavel.

Great little settlement - the Clay Cliffs were spectacular and a definite must-see. The Hot Tubs were so lovely afterwards - very private and in a peaceful outdoor setting. Absolutely loved them. Had a meal at the local pub which was also very good.

The apartment was very clean and had everything that we needed. The pub was brilliant and had exceptional food and a great atmosphere. Previous negative reviews of the apartments were completely unfounded. Sofa bed was lumpy with springs sticking out and needs replacing, otherwise no complaints. Would stay there again.
