Twizel is a unique place because it sits in the middle of a large area with trees and meadows with no immediate neighbors in visibility. we very much enjoyed the privacy and layout of the cute house with amazing kitchen. one of the bedrooms is on the first floor - open to the living room underneath, one needs to take this in consideration if two couples are traveling like us but no problem. the perfect place to stay if you plan a day trip to mount Cook and the surrounding area . Salmon fishing nearby (if you don't catch no problem there is a great shop with daily catch and a lot of great marinated items and MUTCH MORE. a picnic at the nearby like is highly recommended. great area. great place to cook yourself a nice dinner. loved the architecture.
