    Highly recommended - very clean, well stocked and comfortable with great customer service
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • One-Bedroom House
    • Stayed 4 nights

    An oven and clothes dryer would be great additions - possibly future opportunities - however it was clearly stated that neither were included in the small room so we knew this in advance. (That said there was a cook-top hob + barbecue, washing machine + clothes line with pegs + indoor drying rack.)

    The entire experience was excellent and exceeded expectations. Received above-and-beyond customer service from the hosts, the whole place felt super clean, modern and well cared for inside and out. Included all basic amenities and facilities (and more) for a short stay. Set up to accommodate both wet and dry weather.

    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.

    Nosie from Air conditioning might be a problem but not a big deal.

    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 back when we travel to again.

    Nothing at all really, just missing an oven, but honestly it had everything else so there is really nothing to complain about.

    The accomodation was perfect for us two, we had the one bedroom apartment and it had plenty of space for us while also being super comfortable and warm, we loved it and if we are ever back we will book again. The owners are super welcoming and friendly. The washer was a great bonus

    What a lovely house with two bed rooms and two toilets which is very conventient for a family like us. The house sits in a very quite location but easy and quick to get to the town centre and also a great location only 45 mins driving away from Mount Cook. We had everythin we need in our two nights stay, the house was super clean and comfortable. The owner of this hourse Tony and Jill were very kind and offered us a lot of advises and helps . We will certain come back the next time revisting Mount Cook and wish to stay more days here.

    We weren't sure what to expect as we drove through Twizel but we're extremely impressed with the accommodation when we arrived. A really good facility with ample space, kitchen facilities, excellent shower and extremely comfortable bed. We enjoyed eating on the terrace in the evening sun. We also had an extremely pleasant walk around Twizel. The drive up to Mount Cook is fantastic.
