The house has three spacious rooms, two with a queen bed and one with four single bunk beds. There is fourth room that is in the sleepout next to the garage, this has two single bunk beds and a double futon bed, which makes it perfect for a large group. Clean linen is provided, which includes towels.

There is an open plan kitchen, lounge and dining area which opens up onto the deck. The house retains its heat well and is warm when heated. The passage has a heatpump/airconditioner which heats most of the house and there is an installed gas heater in the lounge/kitchen area which provides instant heat (no need to light fires and wait for it to get warm). Oil heaters, electric blankets and extra blankets are available for extra warmth!

The hot water is heated by gas so you will not run out of hot showers. The bathroom is spacious with a toilet and a large amazing shower. There is an extra toilet in the laundry (making it 1.5 bathrooms).

The outdoor furniture is on the deck next to the BBQ, in the beautiful peaceful fully-fenced back garden and has a recently installed shade cloth to provide much needed shade in summer.

There is plenty to keep you and your kids entertained, a PlayStation II with various games for young and old, a separate TV and DVD player with numerous DVD's, books, kids toys, a ride-on bike, games, puzzles, balls, tennis rackets, soccer nets, various size older bikes with helmets, a basket ball hoop and a trampoline (with no safety net). There is a large flat screen smart TV with freeview in the lounge and a satellite dish is available if you want to bring your own sky decoder.

There is plenty of off-street parking available inside closed gates, with enough space to store a boat or trailer and a few cars. The long drive-way is a double lane so is easily accessible, yet off the main road.

Cleanliness is important to us, as you can see from our reviews, however during this COVID time we are taking extra care with cleaning and disinfecting. Cleaning products are available for guests to use during their stay, so they have peace of mind. We are also regularly decluttering and spring-cleaning the house, making sure everything is clean. Guests are welcome to bring their own linen and bedding.

All guest interaction is contactless, keys are kept in a lockbox for easy access and self-check-in. We are also very flexible with cancellations during this time.

    This has been a home away from home for us during our road trip around south island in June. The house is well equipped for all of our needs and much more! Using the bikes to cycle around the neighbourhood marked our first experience cycling in winter! :)

    Very clean and homely property,and ideally suited for a 1 night stay over between Queenstown & Christchurch. Appreciated the heating on to warm the house on our arrival.A lot of thoughtful touches for the children, who thoroughly enjoyed the outside space. Thanks again for hosting our stay

    The stay was good. Convenient location. Clean. The negative aspect of this place is the laundry room when using the dryer. The flooring gets very wet bc of condensation even when we opened the window. It wasn’t pleasant when you have to step onto the wet floor to close the window.The place is dated but clean.

    My family and I stayed at this property after traveling extensively across New Zealand. We very much enjoyed the homey and comfortable feel. The communication with Andrea was phenomenal! Andrea was easy to connect with and ask questions as well as providing the necessary information. We enjoyed the small town feel of Twizel while still having ready access to the dark sky preserve and Mount Cook. I highly recommend this location!
