Staying with Ally and Phil was an absolute pleasure. From the moment I drove in to their driveway (with a flat tire, no less!) they treated me like family. Phil was kind enough to change my tire, while Ally made me a cup of tea and let me have a plate of food since I couldn't go anywhere for dinner. They were so kind and genuine, and the room was so cozy and comfortable- I could see the stars clearly from the window as I went to bed. To be honest, they were probably the best hosts I've ever stayed with, and made my New Zealand travels very special! If you are stopping through Twizel, I highly recommend.
