Lake Ruataniwha Holiday Park

Great place to stay and spacious room. We checked in late and the key was broken. The person working there attended to us immediately even though it was out of ihours and late in the evening.

We stayed in two different cabins on two visits. The cabins are clean and roomy. The park is quite large but surpassing quiet even on the holiday weekend when we were there. They give out a bin of kitchen stuff when you arrive so the kitchen is always clean because there's no clutter of utensils etc and you always have everything you need for meals. They used to charge for Internet but the new management is upgrading the Internet service to high speed and making it free. In the meantime they will give you a free voucher so ask for one of they forget.

Nice location close to lake (not quite as close as pictured) Clean and tidy although way overpriced. Basic amenities. Motel in a camp ground Could be peaceful but large trucks there during our stay. Service ok Typical camp ground. Need to drive to Twizel for food etc. 4-5k.

The room was larger than expected and had plenty of room to spread out a little and get organized. The bed was comfortable but it was very difficult to access power for chargers and my husband’s c-pap machine. The wifi was awful. It barely worked and often the service dropped altogether. The hiking around the lake was lovely and a fairly easy walk. Even though we were attached to other units, our room was fairly quiet. I was not happy that there was a sign saying I had to clean the dishes or be charged an extra fee! For the amount we paid for the room, that was ridiculous. Also, if you want someone to do dishes, give them the proper tools to accomplish the task! There was only one small dish towel and no dish drainer or rack. There was a fairly nice playground for kids available, but we were traveling by ourselves.

We booked a cabin, and it was spacious, clean and had everything we needed. No problems, very smooth. Thanks!~
