Starry Skies Cottage, Twizel
Twizel
7.0 out of 10, Good, (4 reviews)
"Very spacious property with comfortable beds and great living space. Could have been a bit cleaner and in need of some redecoration(eg painting) and outside areas need a little attention. A dryer and iron/ironing board would have been very useful. We loved Twizel, a great base for exploring this beautiful area of NZ so Starry Skies is perfect location wise and an easy walk to town. Overall, I would recommend this rental property, we loved our time in this peaceful town and property!"
