This place is fantastic! It is clean, spacious, and comfortable. The windows are insulated and each bedroom has its own wall heater. The kitchen has a wonderful gas range with granite countertops which makes cooking meals enjoyable. At night after hiking all day my wife and I would relax in the living room recliners in front of the fire place. We had a wonderful time here and will definitely stay here again!
In case you aren’t familiar with the area, Twizel is about a 45 min drive from Mount Cook and a much more affordable place to stay. Plus when the weather is bad at Mount Cook (which is a lot), Twizel is perfectly located to explore other parts of New Zealand.
I wholeheartedly recommend staying in Twizel if your goal is to explore Mount Cook and the surrounding lakes.
