Fantastic house. Very comfortable and clean, everything you could possibly need to enjoy a holiday. So quiet and relaxing, close to shops and restaurants. Highly recommend
David Bolton
Another great few days in Twizel, couldnt find a better place to stay, a lovely warm house and the most awsome shower. Very handy to the centre of town for the restaurants.
