Favourite Twizel bach

This was our second stay here and won't be our last, we love this bach. Perfect set up for people with kids, or groups of couples. Plenty of communal space, very comfy beds, large outdoor area that is well contained. Always warm (even in the depths of winter - it was -7C outside when we were there, and still toasty warm inside) and has everything you need for a comfy stay.

Good Location Large Garden

We spent a long weekend here with our two dogs, the property was perfect for us and plenty of space inside and out for our two dogs.The garden was great more than enough space to have the dogs play.House was lovely and warm for when we arrived which was great as it was cold.Beds, shower, cooking range, and a coffee machine was all great and would recommend.It easily sleeps more people and there were other bedrooms for families.Would stop again!

Property managers were very helpful with check in and helping with tv to watch the game after a cold day fishing. Great location outside of twizel, close to the canals for fishing our fishing trip and a nice warm house for a winters stay. Very clean and tidy.

Good home base for exploring the area

We’ll-equipped kitchen, nice bathrooms and good beds. Huge tv and nice space for cooking and eating. Close enough to town to be convenient. Manager of property was helpful and responsive. The yard and plantings around the house were overgrown and poking through windows when we opened them. Nice deck, but no outdoor table or chairs for enjoying it.

Photos suggested a lot more modern and new than reality. Very dirty. Dishwasher didnt work very well, tumble dryer didnt work, washing machine had holes in it. Kitchen crockery was stained, oven dirty with extensive dirt. Wasn't pleasant really. Pet friendly on the positive side but section not pet secure. Communication very good and responsive.
