This was our first time staying in a private room of a home, so we weren't sure what to expect. The pictures accurately showcased the room, and everything about the stay was wonderful. We had our own entrance that was separated from the rest of the house. The grounds of the house were amazing. It also was a blast playing with her dog cruise, and feeding her sheep. Surprisingly, there is plenty to do in and around Twizel: going to a lagoon, hiking at Mt. Cook, good dining options, and star gazing.
