Twizel is a town in the Mackenzie Basin, part of the Mackenzie District of the Canterbury region of New Zealand's South Island. Its residential population is 1,500 but in summer the population more than triples. Twizel was built in 1968 as a greenfields project to service the Upper Waitaki Hydroelectricity Scheme and was intended to be removed once the project had been completed. However, in 1983 its residents successfully fought to save the town. At the height of the project in the 1970s, the population peaked at around 6,000. Twizel is now a service and tourist town for visitors. Nearby Lake Ruataniwha supports sailing, water skiing and prominent rowing events, such as the Maadi Cup, while the Ohau Skifield and the Round Hill Ski Area attract winter tourists. Other surrounding lakes, such as Lake Benmore provide warm and safe boating conditions for all of your summer activities. The Alps to Ocean Cycleway is the newest and hugely popular drawcard of tourism in the Mackenzie. Twizel is located between the Mt Cook and Ohau sections of the trail and is the perfect spot to pause and enjoy the scenery!
A security camera is installed on the garage monitoring the parking area.
No parties allowed

We had a lovely stay in Twizel. There was plenty of room for our group and the location was good for visiting Mt Cook and town. The kitchen was well-stocked and we enjoyed the outdoor fireplace.
