Lovely big house in a gloriously scenic region. Close drive to town for shops and restaurants. But away from all noise. Spa to watch stars. Clean. Comfy beds. Host was nice to communicate with. Tiny distillery next door was fun to visit. Walking down along the water is spectacular.
At the time of our stay there was no oil to cook with or any baking paper etc. limited cooking tools. But shampoo, soap etc was provided.
8 / 10Excellent·Aug 2026
Great location. Felt safe and was warm in the cold weather.
Spa towels were not very absorbent
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2026
Beautiful home with a beautiful backdrop. It was slightly out of Twizel, but that was part of the appeal as it was spacious and you could enjoy to quiet. The house had everything we needed for our stay.
Not the hosts fault but most of the dishes were not cleaned properly by the guests before us, so we had to rewash most dishes.
