    The stay was so nice and clean!! It was very peaceful and quiet. The beds were very comfy and really appreciated the electrical blankets (very nice touch when it gets cold). There is also a grocery store five mins away, which is very convenient....

    Very conveniently located to do all the hikes in the area, but at the same time in proximity to some shops and eateries. The place is very well equipped and feels very cozy. We were also lucky to meet the hosts who were friendly and helpful.

    Excellent place to spend your vacation. It's like a hotel and home, cozy and warm. Strongly recommend visitors to stay here if you plan to participate outdoor activities near Mount Cook area.

    Smooth check in, clean place, friendly host! Feel safe as is a completely private area but 2 more houses behind. More importantly the house has really good condition to keep it warm without heater turning on at all the time. Will definitely come...

We have two great spaces on the property to stay. Either a 2 bedroomed spacious unit for up to 4 people with a roomy living area or a studio unit suitable for 1-2. Both have luxury features which will make your stay very comfortable.
Jill and Tony are very pleased to welcome you to our lovely part of the Mackenzie country. We are only too happy to assist you if you require any further information on Twizel and surrounding areas
Twizel is a great base to stay when visiting Mt Cook and the surrounding high country lakes and mountains.. Also the town has an amazing amount of outdoor activities right there including the interesting Hydro Town history . Also we are part of the Aoraki Mackenzie Dark Sky Reserve and our cottages are situated in a semi rural location (still in the Twizel township) which enables great night time viewing away from street lighting.
