The scenery, the location, the “neighbours” are all perfect. It’s the decorating and details right down to the beautiful Manuka body balms. If you have a bad time here, there’s probably something wrong with you 🤪 Yeh but there’s no TV, well you really won’t need one, there’s great wifi, and the hosts have been thoughtful and provided scrabble and books for people who miss the TV.
There’s lovely touches you’d only see in a hotel, like coffee, sugar, tea and green tea, chilled water and a washing machine with laundry detergent.
The fluffy, cheeky, shy neighbours are fun to watch too and watching how quickly the clouds change over the mountain is mesmerising.
It seems out of the way but we found it to be the perfect halfway point between Lake Tekapo and Mount Cook. There’s a four square supermarket and small town called Twizel within 10 minutes.
Just book it. You won’t regret it
