Set on 2 acres overlooking a private pond towards snow covered peaks, it’s also a stone's throw to the town square and shops, restaurants and cafes. Our home is situated in an exclusive position directly on the Alps to Ocean Cycle Trail, and is a perfect base for exploring Mount Cook National Park. The space Mountain View Abode is spacious and comfortable designed to make you feel at home. There is a master bedroom with en-suite complete with jacuzzi, as well as a queen guest bedroom, another room with 2 single beds, and central bathroom. We've intentionally laid out the space to maximise the views, and to keep the living areas free of clutter. Therefore you'll find the microwave tucked away in the pantry, and a bar fridge only in the kitchen. There is a full sized fridge in the mud room or laundry room. The home has underfloor heating in the living areas, a log burner in the living room perfect for reading a book next to, a 60 inch TV, and sweeping views out all the living area over our private pond and beyond to the Southern Alps. Guest access You'll have access to the entire house Other things to note Bookings with children under 12 years old. We list our property for 12 and up, because we have some unique features that could pose a risk to young children, specifically the log burner and the pond. However we are open to our guests managing these risks themselves should they feel that in their circumstances, their children are adapted to cope with these risks. If so, send us a message and we will discuss on a case by case basis. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen -

The views were the best of any Vrbo our group stayed in during our entire trip. The kitchen was well stocked. Seating areas and beds were all comfortable. We made a fire in the wood burning stove each night. Plenty of fire wood was provided. The host, Kenny, was friendly, helpful, and quick to respond. We could’ve easily spent another day in Twizel just to sit on the deck and watch the ducks in the pond with a gorgeous mountain backdrop. We couldn’t have asked for more! ##### Julie S.
