We stayed one night in winter. The house was warm on arrival and the wood stove added to the pleasure of our stay. Everything was clean and we enjoyed our stay.

Super property in centre of Twizel, near to cafes, restaurants, supermarket and play park. Spacious bedrooms with comfy beds and hot showers. Well equipped kitchen for self catering with basic kitchen supplies provided, thanks. Great range of children's toys & books to keep little ones entertained. We had cloudy night skies but the absence of ambient lighting would make star-gazing a treat. We really enjoyed our one night autumnal stay.

Perfect home base for the region

The location was a perfect one to see the lakes, Mr. Cook, and the Dark Sky Project. The house is comfortable, very clean and has terrific instructions for everything you might want to use that came in handy for us to cook. The house also matches the pictures and the host is very responsive.

Awesome Stay

An overnight stay at an Awesome home. Nothing overlooked, host has thought of everything that guests could need for a comfortable long or short stay. Information & instructions to find & work apliances, & information about the water & to let it run before taking a drink illustrates the level of attention to detail the host has. The home was immaculately clean & tidy & very very well stocked. All amenities close by including fishing spots. Very welcoming & homely feeling. The best holiday home we've ever stayed in.

A beautiful house

The property is well appointed, clean and with everything you need. The instructions for various equipment around the house are very clear. Andrea was easy to contact when we had a water leak in the wall in the upstairs bathroom and had a plumber out to fix it within a few hours, which was greatly appreciated. If i am ever in NZ again i would definitely stay here again.
