What a great retreat! It is as beautiful as the photos make it appear to be. The layout is super functional, the deck is a great place to soak up the sun and watch the sun go down, the kitchen is super well appointed including really fine cookware and sharp knives, and the bed is super comfortable with the added bonus of the southern sky any old time you decide to look up. The shower is excellent with great pressure and there’s quality towels and shampoos and soap to use. Twizel is a great base for some of the best hiking we did on our trip near Mt Cook, fly fishing all around, and we even did a day trip to the east coast one of the days we were there. I can’t say enough about the location and the place itself. It’s just lovely. The one other thing I’ll mention is that Jana is an excellent communicator and truly wants your experience at her place to be a great one. We’ve stayed in a bunch of Airbnb’s and that really makes our stays that much better. You will love this place!
