Top Otematata Hotel Reviews

Distinction Heritage Gateway Hotel

8/10 Good

"Quick easy checkin, room as described"

Mountain Chalets Motel

8/10 Good

"generally clean but amenities were dated and could use some updating. heater was inconsistent and bathroom a bit leaky, which made for slippery tiles. comfy beds and hot water with good pressure. we particularly appreciated the location — an easy 5-minute drive from twizel town centre, and close to high country salmon (famous alpine salmon shop) and lake pukaki."

High Country Motel and Backpackers

8/10 Good

"Older but OK cabin. Had a distinct musty smell when I opened the door which I could never quite get rid of despite leaving the doors/windows open. The toilet in my room sounded like it was constantly running and could be heard even with the bathroom door closed. The shower was great, but be careful of leaving anything on the floor as water goes everywhere as there is no actual recess or lip to stop it. Good location for access to Aoraki/Mt Cook. Easy walks to get to supermarkets and restaurants."

Lake Ruataniwha Holiday Park

10/10 Excellent

"We had wanted to stay at Mt Cook resort but it was booked out so we chose the nearest location (60 kms away) at Twizel. There was a paucity of accommodation of what we wanted and we eventually opted with some trepidation for on-site accommodation at the Lake Ruataniwha Holiday Park. We had expected a very spartan arrangement but what a surprise. We had one of their 8 motel units. It was the best such unit we had had on our trip. Very spacious, suitably equipped, lovely outlook on the lawn and lake. The park had a superb barbecue area and a sauna (we did not use). Management was really convivial with the manager Tony and his support Britany very helpful. The other surprise was the town of Twizel. We had expected a one horse town with just a general store and a pub. We were wrong. It had fully developed market place with multiple shops including two supermarkets, several restaurants and a great pub in a very relaxed atmosphere thanks to abundant parking. So overall we had an enjoyable time and also got to see Mt Cook."

Wedderburn Farm Stay

10/10 Excellent

"Kate and Shane were wonderful hosts during my recent stay. The continental breakfast was perfect and had the bonus of nice yogurt, fresh fruit and fresh eggs too. I could not have asked for a better place to recover from a day being battered by headwinds on my bike! I will definitely stay here again when the opportunity arises. Thanks again to both of you for your wonderful hospitality."
