GUESTS SAY
“We really loved our time at the High Country Holiday Lodge! The facilities were clean and never more than a few steps away and the staff was a delight to deal with. We wish we had more time to spend in Twizel to stay even longer with them! Thanks for everything!”
“This was a very good value motel. It was basic but clean and was a good stopping off place en route to wanaka. The staff were friendly and helpful. The parking was good. We had a comfortable nights sleep and it was very quiet which was good ! Thank you.”
“Budget but well organized and comfortable lodge with best option for Alps to Ocean bike trail accommodation. Rooms with private shower and bathroom are the best. Common kitchen opens till 22:00. Good pub and the mall are 100 m. away.”
