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!

    Arohanui provided us with superb accommodation. The unit had everything we needed. Clean, warm, welcoming, quiet with easy access to everything Twizel has to offer. We highly recommend this place for a couple /- another guest.

    We loved how quiet the area was. The house was the perfect location to hike Mount Cook. There was everything we needed, including a washer! We slept so well here!

    We had a fabulous 4 night stay. The cottage is reasonably new, very clean and has everything you need.Neighbouring house (with many cars in drive) was pretty close but they were quiet and respectful. The cottage windows face a lush lawn and there is seating under the shade of the eaves. Would return here - loved the house and Twizel!!

    Easy access to Mount Aoraki National Park, Pukaki & Tekapo Lakes. Property very clean, kitted out with everything one would require for a short stay & good space for our family of 3. Easy check in & manager of property easy to make contact with. One small downside - not many local eateries around Twizel!

    We decided it was time to have a break away together without any responsibilities. We like to explore different areas as New Zealand has a lot of hidden treasures. The house is quite quaint and suitable for this occasion. Very central for whst we wanted to do.
