Can't go wrong staying at Michele and Jim's place. This is our second time staying in their Twizel cottage, and we'd definitely stay again should we have the good fortune to return. The cottage is comfortable and livable, we particularly enjoyed the kitchen and the many thoughtful "extras" provided. It is convenient for visiting Aoraki Ntl Park and located at the quiet, solitudinal edge of Twizel with incredible views and a lovely picnic table. In our experience, Michele and Jim appear to take pride in being personable and gracious hosts. Highly recommend.
