This gorgeous well-loved two storey house is very clean, comfortable, warm, family-friendly and spacious. It’s unique easy-living design makes it elegant yet homely. 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 themany 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.

    Nice house with views of the mountains. The house had everything we needed and it was clean. It was easy to get to Mt Cook Village from here and there is good fishing nearby.

    The house was lovely. My only issue was the TV. I just wanted to turn on the TV.

    We stayed one night in winter. The house was warm on arrival and the wood stove added to the pleasure of our stay. Everything was clean and we enjoyed our stay.

    The property is well appointed, clean and with everything you need. The instructions for various equipment around the house are very clear. Andrea was easy to contact when we had a water leak in the wall in the upstairs bathroom and had a plumber out to fix it within a few hours, which was greatly appreciated. If i am ever in NZ again i would definitely stay here again.

    The location was a perfect one to see the lakes, Mr. Cook, and the Dark Sky Project. The house is comfortable, very clean and has terrific instructions for everything you might want to use that came in handy for us to cook. The house also matches the pictures and the host is very responsive.
