About this property
Southern Comfort Twizel Escape
Summary:
Slow down, stretch out, and stay awhile at Southern Comfort — a warm, welcoming 3-bedroom home in the heart of Twizel.
Step into the charm of a classic 1960s hydro home, lovingly renovated with comfort in mind. Set on a huge private section with a wraparound deck and spacious lawn, it's the perfect spot for soaking in the alpine air under starry skies.
The Space:
Located just a few minutes' walk from Twizel’s town centre, you'll have cafes, restaurants, pubs, and local shops right at your fingertips. With room for up to six guests and all the essentials (free Wi-Fi, TV, full kitchen, modern bathroom), it’s an ideal base for both adventure and rest.
Whether you're here to fish the canals, cycle the Alps 2 Ocean trail, ski the mountains, or simply unwind, Southern Comfort offers space, style, and that hard-to-find feeling of ease.
Newly renovated and full of “southern comfort,” this home brings together the best of classic Twizel charm with modern simplicity.

Other Things to Note:
The Neighbourhood - Twizel is a hidden gem in the Mackenzie District—known for its big skies, clear nights, and endless outdoor adventures.
You’re just:
- 3 mins walk to town centre (supermarket, cafés, pub, and great coffee)

A lovely little miners house that has been lovingly restored with an eclectic decor making it warm and inviting. The house everything you could need. Samantha was wonderful to work with for our booking and was so quick answering questions we had.
