Once again a sensational location to base ourselves for the annual fishing trip to Twizel. Our second time staying here and after not being able to book it last year I was told by the other guys to make sure I got in early to get us back here once again. Seamless transaction again and all expectations were met. Terrific place to stay !

Awesome family getaway

Three families (12 in total) stayed over the school hplidays. Such a great space for all of us, plenty of games for the kids, the three bathrooms are a great help with a large group, warm with the fire and heat pumps. Lots to explore in the local region. Checkin and out process was super easy and great comms from the hosts. We had a fabulous stay, thanks very much!

White out

We had a wonderful stay. Woke up on the 1st morning to a snow dump. It snowed all day. Snowman built on front lawn, snowball fights all around and a warm, cosy house to relax in. The house was comfortable and homely. Plenty of wood for the fire and we needed it! Kitchen could do with a few more bits … more pots, a colander etc otherwise good. It was all we needed and we would stay again.

Our stay at this property was nothing short of perfect. The house felt like a home away from home which is what we needed after a stressful few months. Everything we needed was easy to find and ready. We are already looking forward to saying again.
