We have just finished spending 10 days at Ally's place and would highly recommend it. It was quite spacious (we had a family of five), clean, well presented, and located in an area which made it easy to access the shops, lake, bike trail and other local attractions. Having air conditioning in the lounge made it pleasant as we experienced a spell of very hot weather. Twizel is an excellent place to holiday with many places to explore and provides a great launching pad to do a day trip to Mount Cook or Wanaka.
