I stayed at the Mountain Chalet Motels overnight on 1/5/12 with my parents who are seniors, as a base from which to explore Mt Cook National Park. We wanted to be close to Mt Cook, and just wanted simple affordable accomodation. The Mountain Chalet Motels is an absolutely ideal choice. Comfortable, cosy, and cute fully self-contained units.

We stayed here on our way to Doubtful Sound. The chalets are older but very nice. The property was quiet. Nice restaurants are nearby in a small town with lots of charm. More

We recently stayed there for two nights. The room was ok but fairly basic. We got the impression that because of the semi remote location that the staff felt they did not have to put in much effort. The room was fairly cheap but it also gave you that impression. We probably would not stay there again. More

The motel is easy to find and is only a short walk to the village square. It was clean, warm and comfortable. Beds were soft enough - one bedside light was a bit faint to read by but the other was fine. One bedroom apartment was all on one level with a double and a single in the same bedroom... More

Wonderful chalets at the base of Mt Cook, great place to stop off. Separate chalets with lounge, bedroom and bathroom, good size, cosy and comfortable. Great views of Mt Cook from the roadside. Very comfortable and would stay again. Not much in the town, but great location to stay while on the road if you need to. More

We stayed for 3 nights in a one bedroom chalet. It was a bit dated but comfortable and a well equipped kitchen. There were a few cobwebs in the bedroom but the housemaid disposed of them when pointed out to her. Overall a nice place to base yourself if staying in Twizel and plenty to do there if the weather...
