This is a hidden gem of a cottage tucked into the base of the Mt Cook National Park area and dark sky preserve. The home is so well designed and thoughtfully appointed, and surrounded by heavenly smelling pine trees, birds, bunny rabbits and of course stars! I’ve stayed in countless Airbnb’s and many fine hotels, but Jana & Sean’s Place was truly special and exceeded expectations. They have done such a great job like placing soft hand knit blankets, leaving wool slippers by the door, cozy clean furniture and linens, the list could go on! We loved the skylight in the master bedroom where you could watch the stars from under the cozy comforter. The home is sparkling and brand new but made with fine woods and finishes that give it a warm feeling, like a great cup of coffee. Jana and Sean were wonderful hosts, quick to respond and came out to greet us then left us to our privacy. Finally if you are traveling with children they were so sweet to provide tons of carefully selected Australian toys for the baby, set up a cot, and provided linens and even a sleep sack for our wee one! They also had a little seat for our baby to eat with us. If your travels take you to Twizel, book this home, you won’t regret it!
