Even though we only stayed for two nights, the house was a welcome respite from our travels. The house is extremely well appointed and modern. We appreciated having a washer and dryer, a king-size bed, and the DeLonghi espresso maker was top notch too! Highly recommended!

Perfect Spot in Twizel

My wife and I were looking for a relaxing place near Lake Tekapo and Mt. Cook and Teresa's place was perfect. We were able to cook, relax, enjoy local food, the wonderful sunsets and more. We also were ideally located to get to Mt Cook and Lake Tekapo for hikes, star gazing and more.Teresa was very helpful, shared local knowledge and available as needed during our stay.Thank youMike
