Twizel was built in 1968 to house workers on the Upper Waitaki hydro scheme and stayed on after the dams were finished, reinventing itself as the Mackenzie Basin's holiday base. Aoraki/Mount Cook is under an hour up the road, salmon farms sit in the hydro canals, and Lake Ruataniwha hosts national rowing championships. The town lies inside the Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve, under some of the clearest night sky in the world.
