Step into the charm of a classic 1960s hydro home, lovingly renovated with comfort in mind. Set on a huge private section with a wraparound deck and spacious lawn, it's the perfect spot for soaking in the alpine air under starry skies. The Space: Located just a few minutes' walk from Twizel’s town centre, you'll have cafes, restaurants, pubs, and local shops right at your fingertips. With room for up to six guests and all the essentials (free Wi-Fi, TV, full kitchen, modern bathroom), it’s an ideal base for both adventure and rest. Whether you're here to fish the canals, cycle the Alps 2 Ocean trail, ski the mountains, or simply unwind, Southern Comfort offers space, style, and that hard-to-find feeling of ease. Newly renovated and full of “southern comfort,” this home brings together the best of classic Twizel charm with modern simplicity. \- 3 bedrooms \- Wraparound deck perfect for sunny mornings or outdoor dinners \- Fully equipped kitchen with everything you need to cook \- Free Wi-Fi + TV \- Private section with room to park the boat \- Self check-in via key safe for easy arrival \- Short stroll to town — 3 minutes to cafes, shops and pubs \- No pets / No parties / No smoking It’s peaceful, practical, and perfect for your next alpine escape. Guest Access: You have full access to our wonderful house and section. The garage and outbuildings are locked. Other Things to Note: The Neighbourhood - Twizel is a hidden gem in the Mackenzie District—known for its big skies, clear nights, and endless outdoor adventures. You’re just: \- 3 mins walk to town centre (supermarket, cafés, pub, and great coffee) \- 5 mins drive to Lake Ruataniwha (boating, paddleboarding, swimming) \- 10 mins to the famous canal fishing spots \- 20 mins to Lake Pukaki and Aoraki/Mt Cook scenic drive \- Steps from the Alps 2 Ocean Cycle Trail It’s a four-season playground: biking, hiking, fishing, skiing at Ōhau, and star-gazing at some of the clearest skies in the world. \----------- Whether you’re looking for adventure or a quiet place to recharge, we hope Southern Comfort becomes a place you return to again and again. We’re always just a message away if you need anything during your stay. Interaction with Guests: This is a self-contained, self check-in property. I’m available by message at any time and happy to help with local tips or questions. We’ll leave you to enjoy the place in peace but are here if you need anything.
