Original Twizel Bach - Pet Friendly

Welcome to our bach in the heart of Twizel, New Zealand. Twizel is a hidden gem known for its stunning landscapes, clear skies, and proximity to some of the most incredible natural wonders the South Island has to offer.

A warm and classic kiwi batch, just a short stroll from the town center. Each bed has a light blanket, mattress protector and pillow. All linen, towels etc will need to be provided by guests. Due to needing to supply your own linen this Bach may not be suitable for oversea’s traveler’s.

Our pet friendly Bach is safe and secure for small and large animals. We have installed a small dog and cat friendly door for easy indoor and outdoor access. Even the most determined escape artists will find it impossible to slip through. Your pets are warmly welcomed to relax and feel at home indoors and outdoors.

I liked the size of the backyard. Also liked the blackbirds and their beautiful song. Homely looking cabin. Could have had some dry towels, but managed to dry them on the Hill's hoist.

Booked it for 2 nights , 5 of us 1.5 toilet roll provided , no laundry detergent , No wifi , no table or chair outside Pretty average to be honest , the place is cheap to rent and pet friendly apart from that not a lot of bang for your bucks , at least four square made some extra cash selling us toilet rolls ! good for the local economy

Just what we needed

Shontelle was wonderful. We didn’t read the part about guests providing linens and towels and she helped get us sorted. The place was a short walk to town and served the purpose of a sleep and a shower before hiking Mueller.

We ask if there was a BBQ and was told there is one but it was due to be replaced should of been replaced along time ago. We went to use it and it was covered in fat and rust, the bunners were rusted out and the gas hose o ring was all cracked. Was really unhappy as we planned on having a BBQ dinner and couldn't. Next problem was the fire place we had to have to door open to get the fire to work as soon as we closed the door it went out. The wood was wet and took ages to light had to dry the next pieces out on top of the fire before putting it in.
