Lovely rural location with all the amenities you would want in a home.

This is a beautiful location only an hour from mount cook and with great star gazing on clear nights. The house is clean and modern with comfortable beds and furniture. Some games in the garage for the kids. The location is great for a relaxing few days. The lakes nearby are very clear and actually quite warm in summer so lots of swimming possibilities.

Neat, New, Nice

This little container home was all that was needed for me and my 3 kids during our stay in Twizel. We were the first guests to use it and it was set up comfortably already. It is located a short way out of town in a new housing development so it was easy to sit on the porch and enjoy the night sky. Twizel was a great little town that was big enough to have things to do but also close enough to have day trips to Wanaka, Mt Cook, Oamarama, and Tekapo. I would stay here again.

Beautiful views, peaceful neighborhood

Amazing views of the Milky Way and of the surrounding mountains. Perfect porch to enjoy the scenery, and sliding doors totally opened up the living room to the outdoors, as well. The washer and drier worked great. The kitchen suited our needs. Our only complaint was a very slight odor in the kids bunk room. We closed the door, so it wasn’t a big deal.

Small but good

The property is quite small. We were two adults and two kids, and if there was anyone more it would have been too small. There is no space for eating, a tiny wobbly table that there was no way you could have sat at and eaten as the four of us. We had a problem with the hot water, a pain but Sam was in constant contact and got it sorted within a good time. Other than that it was good, the kids enjoyed using the garage with the dart board, it was their chill out space.
