Southern Comfort in Twizel. Free WIFI, Fire, Walk to Town

Slow down, stretch out, and stay awhile at Southern Comfort — a warm, welcoming 3-bedroom home in the heart of Twizel.

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.

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.

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.

A lovely little miners house that has been lovingly restored with an eclectic decor making it warm and inviting. The house everything you could need. Samantha was wonderful to work with for our booking and was so quick answering questions we had.
