Awesome place

Such a great place to stay. We loved having a washing machine in our room with access to a dryer next door. The kitchen was perfect and included a yummy chocolate bar for check in. We stayed two nights and traveled to Mount Cook on the second day. Beautiful area.

Loved the convenient carpark porch and the spacious, comfortable room and living area. The toilet basin was very tiny, so we ended up using the laundry basin instead — thank you for the complimentary laundry facilities. It would be great to have a dustbin in the toilet for added convenience.

Nice place except for the beds.

Our only complaint with this property were the beds. They were very soft and worn. We were a group of two couples travelling. All 4 of us had bad sleeps on the two beds and complained of sore backs. Good beds are so important. The rest of the cottage was locked lovely.

This was a very nice self contained unit with everything you would need. Unfortunately our timing was bad as we were there when the level 4 shut down was announced. Tim and Coralie were extremely helpful and went above and beyond what was expected. Thank you so much for a great stay and all your help.

Twizel high quality, excellent value accommodation

The accommodation was very well presented, extremely clean and fresh. The kitchen facilities were excellent, in very good condition and spotless as we're shower and laundry facilities. All at very good value. Location was peaceful not far from town centre where there were plenty of amenities, shopping, eating etc.
