Jeanette and Bruce's place was our last stop to finish up our wonderful holiday in the South Island. We were initially booked in for only one night at their self contained unit however in the last minute due to change in plans we called up Jeanette asking if we could stay in Twizel the previous day too and she was kind enough to accommodate us in a private room inside their house. The room had its own bath and toilet and there was a sliding door which gave us privacy when needed. We liked it so much that we decided to stay in the same room the next night too instead of moving to the self contained room just outside their house.
Jeanette and Bruce are one of the warmest couples we have met and they made us feel at home. They have a lovely house with vegetable gardens, nut plantations and also a free range farm with turkey, chickens and fresh eggs. The day we arrived, a new chick had just hatched and I was lucky to hold the young one! Bruce and Jeanette genuinely love interacting with people and they go out of their way to make sure their guests enjoy their stay at Twizel. Bruce gave us tips on places to visit in Mt Cook and Late Tekapo and he also took us to one of the LOTR site! On both days we had a lovely breakfast of cereals, fresh eggs, toast, fruits and dinner was a family affair where Bruce and Jeanette graciously shared their food & dessert with us (the Sponge Pops were to die for!) and we also cooked together :-) Overall, it was a lovely stay at Twizel and we highly recommend their home to fellow travelers!!
