Distinction Mackenzie Country Hotel

Rooms dated. Grounds all around facility very plain and boring.Dinner and Breakfast very good

Overpriced and in poor condition. We stayed for 2 nights and booked 2 rooms for our stay. One of the rooms had a severely cracked tub and was leaking onto the carpet of the bedroom. The damage to the walls and musty smell showed that this had been going on for awhile. We moved rooms. Rooms were not very clean (socks hanging in the closet from previous guest and dirty dishes left). You are made to purchase the breakfast buffet ($34 pp). The buffet is mediocre and only available from 7am-9am. I would not recommend a stay here.

Check in was easy and the staff were friendly. The food at the restaurant was pretty good as well. It had nice views of the mountains.

Spacious and clean rooms, we were fortunate to get two connecting rooms which is really fantastic for our group. We enjoyed our stay here in Twizel, warm hospitality and short drive to many popular restaurants. 20 mins of hot water was more than sufficient for our group.

Near the road

The hotel is old and a bit run down. Only limited amount of time for hot water shower. I appreciated the fridge and kettle. The front desk was helpful and friendly when we requested a fan for our hot room and an extra towel. The continental breakfast was sub-par. I'm glad we only stayed one night.

Extremely overpriced for an average only accommodation

Nice, older place. Very clean.

We had a convenient stay during our travel in the mount Cook region.

Pros - The town itself is quaint and quiet. Very walk-able. The Hotel itself is a bit old style - but quiet well laid out. You can walk to the town center in 5-7 mins. where you have a handful of restaurants, Coffee shops and grocery stores. The Thai restaurant is good - fresh food with friendly staff. The hotel staff is good and accommodating. Cons - The rooms are old and don't have ACs. So if you need hot or cold - you just need to adjust and adapt. The bathrooms are also old, and can have stains etc. They do offer breakfast - but its below par. They offer sugar laden syrupy fruits. No fresh fruits or fresh juices. The egg, bread, cereal, milk and fruit options are limited and canned.
