Perfect spot in Twizel

I actually loved this space. It was clean, comfy, air conditioned. Everything worked properly. Free laundry and a grill. Netflix. The shower pressure was top notch. It's a little new-build off the main house but still completely private with its own driveway. Everything is a 5-minute walk. I was very happy with it. The only downside potentially is light coming through the sky-lights in the morning.
