    That is for you to decide. we could possible put up a portable bed if you were interested.

    No the 1 bed house can only sleep a couple. There is only 1 bed in the studio. The house with 2 beds would be more suitable. Thank You

  • we are interested in the two bed studio, but not sure how private it is? The one bed seems to have large buildings close by. Looking at the google ear..

    The 2 bed house is quite private. Both units are on a 5,000sqm property. The 2 bed unit is furtherest from the road and entrance, The studio is nearer..

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.
