Second time staying, and it is always good here - a stunningly beautiful and wonderfully peaceful location! If you are an early riser, the dawn can be particularly photogenic, depending on the weather. The location is only a few minutes by car from Peter's Lookout, from which you can get a jaw-droppingly beautiful view of Aoraki (if the weather cooperates!). In season (Dec/Jan) there is a lavender farm operating very close by, and Twizel is only 11 minutes away by car if you need to shop. Fantastic and friendly hosts - the place is very friendly and comfortable and always spotlessly clean and warm. Very highly recommended!
