- "It’s reasonable to stay, if you go to Mt Cook and Aoraki national park." - "This was a great property. It was very spacious, beautifully presented and very comfortable. Very close to restaurants and supermarket. Totally recommend. " - "Wonderful house in Twizel. Clean, spacious, in a quiet neighborhood. Bit far to walk to town center, but just a 2-3 minute drive. Only downside was they told us after making the reservation that there were no toiletries (e.g. shower wash & shampoo). Internet password was out of date but they were very responsive in providing updated info so not a big deal."

- "Nice house. Lacking a bit of cleaning on the outside tables and seating. Beds comfortable and pleasant/quiet surroundings." - "This was our favorite stay in New Zealand. Comfortable house in the cute town of Twizel with lots of dining options, two grocery stores, amazing stars, and convenient to Mt Cook. The house is in a neighborhood so a bit tricky to find at night, but very comfortable with a well-equipped kitchen and a good set up for a family. My only suggestions would be to add lamps (why do New Zealanders hate bedside lamps??) and maybe a few DVDs (after a long day of hiking, would have been nice to watch a family movie!). Overall we loved it - and eat at Mint Folk & Co in town if you can! "

The large fully fenced back yard and patio area is great for relaxing and having a BBQ. The house is situated on the quiet western side of town with breath taking views of the Ben Ohau ranges and surrounding mountains. It is the perfect base to explore the Mount Cook National Park, Lake Tekapo, the fishing canals and the many lakes that surround this town. It is also only 1.5 hours drive from Wanaka.
The beautiful kitchen flows through to the open plan large dining area and spacious lounge capturing all day sun. The dining table is big with comfortable cushioned chairs, which allows plenty of space for computer work too. There is an extensive collection of books, DVD’s, games, puzzles and toys, for hours of entertainment.
The downstairs bedroom is large and has a comfortable king size bed and an ensuite bathroom (toilet and shower). Baby items are stored in the cupboard which include, gates for the stairs, a high chair (feeding chair), a portable cot and a baby bath. At the top of the stairs is an open plan bedroom with a double and single bed, leading into another spacious room with a comfortable queen bed. All bedrooms look out at the surrounding mountains. The upstairs bathroom is spacious and has a toilet and a large shower.
Two heat pumps and a fireplace keep this house warm during winter, with extra heaters and blankets provided. The air-conditioning and portable fans keeps the house cool during summer.
The Twizel Market Place is a leisurely 10 minute walk or a 2 minute drive from the house with numerous restaurants, bars, grocery and convenience stores. The closest bistro is about a 5 minute walk from the house.
- "This was a stop in our journey to Queenstown and now I'm sad it was just a one night. The place was very clean and there were a bunch of toys for our baby too. There is also a feeding chair for small children which was very useful. Was amazed to find a couple of rice cookers in the pantry 😊 Frankly, we could find everything we needed in this lovely house and loved the view from the room upstairs. It was a family trip and my whole family agreed that the host must have thought of everything. Thank you for letting us stay there and will surely consider another visit in the future."

Twizel is a town in the Mackenzie Basin, part of the Mackenzie District of the Canterbury region of New Zealand's South Island. Its residential population is 1,500 but in summer the population more than triples. Twizel was built in 1968 as a greenfields project to service the Upper Waitaki Hydroelectricity Scheme and was intended to be removed once the project had been completed. However, in 1983 its residents successfully fought to save the town. At the height of the project in the 1970s, the population peaked at around 6,000. Twizel is now a service and tourist town for visitors. Nearby Lake Ruataniwha supports sailing, water skiing and prominent rowing events, such as the Maadi Cup, while the Ohau Skifield and the Round Hill Ski Area attract winter tourists. Other surrounding lakes, such as Lake Benmore provide warm and safe boating conditions for all of your summer activities. The Alps to Ocean Cycleway is the newest and hugely popular drawcard of tourism in the Mackenzie. Twizel is located between the Mt Cook and Ohau sections of the trail and is the perfect spot to pause and enjoy the scenery!

Twizel is a town in the Mackenzie Basin, part of the Mackenzie District of the Canterbury region of New Zealand's South Island. Its residential population is 1,500 but in summer the population more than triples. Twizel was built in 1968 as a greenfields project to service the Upper Waitaki Hydroelectricity Scheme and was intended to be removed once the project had been completed. However, in 1983 its residents successfully fought to save the town. At the height of the project in the 1970s, the population peaked at around 6,000. Twizel is now a service and tourist town for visitors. Nearby Lake Ruataniwha supports sailing, water skiing and prominent rowing events, such as the Maadi Cup, while the Ohau Skifield and the Round Hill Ski Area attract winter tourists. Other surrounding lakes, such as Lake Benmore provide warm and safe boating conditions for all of your summer activities. The Alps to Ocean Cycleway is the newest and hugely popular drawcard of tourism in the Mackenzie. Twizel is located between the Mt Cook and Ohau sections of the trail and is the perfect spot to pause and enjoy the scenery!
A security camera is installed on the garage monitoring the parking area.

- "Good size property. Close to town centre. Quiet " - "It was a lovely place to stay, very peaceful and tranquil and as I was doing business in Twizel it was nice to come back and relax there in the evenings. Just a couple of recommendations : a curtain over the bedroom top window would be good, there was no iron and a shaving mirror in the bathroom would be helpful as the mirror is on the opposite wall. Otherwise, absolutely no complaints. I would definitely stay there again."

- "Very clean new property. Good quality furnishings and equipment. Minor things could be improved - great outdoor table and seating provided but a few more comfortable outdoor chairs would be nice. Inside would be good to have a couple of hooks on the backs of doors. We had great weather and could eat outdoors but if it was more inclement a small dining table would be good. The breakfast bar worked for 4 but any more might be difficult to seat. Very minor things though since overall a very nice property well located between the lake and the town. Nice and quiet.
