Relaxing Retreat

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.

Lovely getaway

We loved staying at this property. The home was exactly like the pictures and the fireplace was all laid out ready to light. Water pressure in the ensuite was amazing, enough stuff in the kitchen that we could make meals if we wanted and located in a prime location for accessing surrounding activities. We would definitely stay again if we revisit the area.

Very nice Twizel house!

We had a great stay in this Twizel property! Easy check-in, check-out, great for cooking meals, open floor plan with a very nice outdoor patio and a wonderful shower! Only 45 minutes or so from Aoraki/ Mt Cook and great fresh salmon very nearby. Would love to return!

Our Twizel tramping base

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 9 Temple Drive. It's a modern, upmarket home that was immaculately presented, and the large wood burner and a plentiful supply of bone dry firewood ensured we were always nice and warm. It was a perfect base for tramping in the Mt Cook, Ohau and Benmore areas.

Very comfortable, exceeded expectations

This home was even nicer than I expected based on the photos. Beds were super comfortable, bathrooms were beautiful, kitchen was well-stocked, and there was plenty of living room seating for our family of four. It was spacious and had everything we needed. Our laundry dried so fast out on the clothesline! Highly recommended!

Wonderful Twizel house for adults and children alike

This new house was absolutely wonderful! We were a couple and a family of 4 (2 children aged under 12), so the house layout was perfect. It was nice to have the ensuite in the main bedroom, and the layout was perfect that the family had a bathroom in between their bedrooms. The outdoor and indoor fireplaces were wonderful to have, and the buck was a nice touch too. It was nice to have the laundry room in case we needed it. The only feedback would be to have a few more supplies (e.g., paper towels, cling wrap, etc), but the house itself was really great. It was in a quiet location which was nice. One day it rained all day, which was fine by us as we got to enjoy the house and even toasted some marshmallows in the outdoor fireplace. Would highly recommend this place for families and friends. :)
