Booked the hut for my trip after my initial thought was to stay in Mt Cook itself.
Very happy that I was staying at Twizel!
The hut itself was a quaint, immaculately clean and furnished in a rustic style.
The bed was super comfy (lots of pillows!), the shower hot with great pressure and the hut itself very warm with a minimal need for air conditioner due to its design.
The outdoor deck was perfect to watch the sunset over a cuppa or a glass of wine.
And of course the skylights and windows so that you can see the Southern Cross and other constellations from your bed. Or an outdoor tub.
The animals were total delight - the shy alpaca female and three adorable piggies were my favourites.
And of course the location is superb - 40 min to Mt Cook village; 40 min to Tekapo; 5 min into town for food and eating out (try Ministry of Works for dinner!).
And just 2 hours to Wanaka/Mt Aspiring.
Thank you, great stay in an amazing space.
