Distinction Mackenzie Country Hotel

Extremely comfortable.

Ein sehr schönes Zimmer

The pork belly is among the best I have ever eaten. While limited, the dinner buffet is absolutely heavenly. I would come here solely for the pork. There is something about the charm and lovely man who carves the meat which hit a note within me. The meat carvers were the nicest people I have ever met. Give the all the people who carve the meat pay rises - they are absolutely delightful and the food is immaculate.

Ideal place for a one night stopover, when touring New Zealand

Large comfortable room

Room was nice and very spacious. Bathroom needs a renovation though. I am 6’2” and the shower head was at my neck level.

Our hotel room was clean and spacious and the bed was quite comfortable. We found the room was too warm at night and needed an air conditioner or at least a ceiling fan. There was no drinking water so the kettle has to be filled in the bathroom. The buffet meal was good basic kiwi food but over-priced for what it was. The staff member at reception was lovely but the ones in the dining room seemed rather unfriendly and disinterested.

Room is clean, comfortable but a bit dated. Unfortunately there is no fan or air conditioners. Temperature was 22 degrees Celsius during daytime but at night the room was still too warm for my comfort. Must be quite busy the night before as the rooms was not ready for half an our after checked in! Sat in the lounge waiting and reception was supposed to inform me when ready but did not!

The rooms were clean, just very outdated and worn.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.

The service at the restaurant was very good and the salmon was amazing! But everything else about this stay was pretty horrible. The sink didn’t drain (was digusting), the beds were not comfortable and smelled when we go to the hotel. You had 20 minutes of hot water until you had to wait 2 hours for it to be hot again. We only stayed a night and must say we were happy to leave. Honestly have stayed in better hostels….
