The place is homey, quiet, private and comfortable. The bathroom and kitchen are modern and spacious enough. The bed is very comfortable and the whole place has great curtains to block out the sun. All in all it's a great little place and my gf and I were happy staying there. I have no complaints about the place or the staff that operates it. In fact, when we arrived, we noticed that there wasn't a coffee plunger. I really like my coffee in the morning so I called right away and asked about it. The woman who answered the phone, Christine, I believe, at first said that she'd being one by the next day, but then she said, " oh heck," I'll just run to the office and get you the new one that we have there. Within 10 minutes she was at the house, coffee plunger in hand. That was much appreciated. it is little far from Mt Aoraki, but if know that going in then you're fine. There is a GREAT well stocked store in Twizel. We didn't try any eateries.
