Disliked: Amenities
The partial lake view was the only nice thing about this place. Only one of the jets had a reasonable amount of pressure. The faucet came right off when I turned on the tub. The large bed was two twin beds pushed together…and you have to pay for internet…and it still didn’t work. Won’t be staying there again or recommending it to anyone else. Stay somewhere else.

It’s outside of Twizel, 5 mins drive but around 1 hour walk. They dun provide many cooking toolsets, not even a knife. The campsite is very simple and the room is small. The wifi sucks and no network connection. The shower is hot enough and the heater is warm though.

The room was fine and large, 2 bunk beds and tables. chairs, and TV. Parking also fine but it's hard to find the paths/driveways at night since all the inside roads are gravel roads and seems to be not named (turning points). Also, no lights at those roads and driveways and it is very hard to find your way at night. We did not find any cooking utensils or pans here, so you have to bring them your own (most of the holiday parks do have those pans in the kitchen). The stay is overall good but I would say the roads inside the park and the lights should be improved as well as they should create a good kitchen with pans and stuff so the guest can enjoy peacefully.

Although we checked in late but we were still able to manage to get the key and find our cabin. Shared bathroom was clean. I suggest that at least provide coffee cups in the cabin. The place was nice and quiet and Lake Ruataniwha was stunning! And it was easy to find good restaurants in the town.
