We made the mistake of treating Twizel as a stop off between Christchurch and Queenstown. Having stopped to see a lot of features on the way down from Christchurch we arrived about 6 pm. Useful information from Amy to tell us that the local supermarket closed at 7 pm so we were able to stock up before it was too late. Heading down to Queenstown the next day meant we didn't have as much time to explore locally as we would have liked. Amazing views of the mountains from this property (weather permitting). On reflection, we wish we'd had two nights here to explore more locally and try and see more of the evening sky. The property has a spacious lounge with large windows looking out towards the mountains, there's also another sizeable lounge/dining room. Having tweaked my back earlier on the holiday, a bath was an added bonus. Comfortable firm double bed. There were a couple of small issues that I flagged with the host and she responded quickly. In particular, 2 saucepans with food burnt onto the bottom, but that says more about the guests who burnt them and then hid them away under other clean ones. I'm sure Amy will update to confirm this is fixed. Would definitely stay again if on the South Island, and for longer.
