Magnificent Ostler  

In Twizel — just 1 km from the town centre. Close to Lake Ruataniwha and about a 15-minute drive from Lake Pukaki, with Twizel Playground, Twizel Holiday Park and Ben Ohau Golf Club all within easy reach. A handy base for outdoor days and easy lake access.

Rooms and a vacation-style unit feel simple and relaxed, with air conditioning, flat-screen TVs and private furnished patios or terraces. Some rooms vary by category but you can expect a shower, separate sitting areas in larger units and the basics for a fuss-free stay. Take in views from the terrace and garden — quiet, laid-back and ready for explorers.

Free self parking and an on-site parking zone make arrival easy. Fire up the barbecue grills in the shared BBQ area, use the laundry facilities, or chill in the garden and on the terrace. Front desk is staffed during limited hours and the property offers practical on-site facilities for a straightforward stay.

Self-catering is a highlight: a full kitchen with a full-sized fridge/freezer, oven and microwave lets you cook your own meals. Eat al fresco on your private patio or grill on the communal BBQ — perfect for enjoying fresh local produce after a day on the lakes.
