    A cosy property with some interesting wall art. Love the photo of Tekapo and Mt Cook. Pleasantly surprised to have an espresso coffee machine. Beds were comfortable. Sam was fantastic with her communications, even touching base after we checked...

    Lovely home and the wood fire was excellent and a very welcome feature mid-winter. As photographers we loved the location for easy access to areas we wanted to explore.

Whether you're here to unwind, explore, or spend quality time with loved ones, I hope your stay brings exactly what you need. Our places are designed with comfort in mind, and I’m just a message away if you need anything before or during your visit.
Twizel is a hidden gem in the Mackenzie District—known for its big skies, clear nights, and endless outdoor adventures. You’re just: - 3 mins walk to town centre (supermarket, cafés, pub, and great coffee) - 5 mins drive to Lake Ruataniwha (boating, paddleboarding, swimming) - 10 mins to the famous canal fishing spots - 20 mins to Lake Pukaki and Aoraki/Mt Cook scenic drive - Steps from the Alps 2 Ocean Cycle Trail It’s a four-season playground: biking, hiking, fishing, skiing at Ōhau, and star-gazing at some of the clearest skies in the world.
