Guest Reviews

• Stefano (10/5): -
• Thanong (10/5): "Lovely and peaceful!" - Beautiful white house with a lovely garden and peaceful atmosphere. "This is a standalone house with a nice backyard and a comfortable parking space for one car. It features 2 bedrooms, a living room, and a fully equipped kitchen with all the utensils, plates, and cooking gear you need. There is a washing machine provided, but no dryer; however, we recommend using the laundromat located just a short distance from the property. The house is beautiful, quiet, and very clean. Top tip: To find the place easily, look for the white house with the number '249'—it makes checking in much smoother!" A couple of suggestions for an even better stay: Kitchen Appliance Instructions: It would be great to have a simple guide for appliances like the dishwasher. We were afraid of damaging it by using it incorrectly. Waste Management Guidance: We would have loved some instructions on trash sorting. We really wanted to leave the place as clean as we found it, but since waste disposal rules vary so much from country to country, we weren't sure how to separate the rubbish properly.
• Vicki (9/5): - It was clean, easy to find, close to town and a large accommodation. Two bedrooms with a separate living room area and kitchen. It was well stocked with supplies. Quiet street. Nice backyard. Washing machine. No dryer but able to hang clothes outside. Twizel is in between Mt. Cook and Tekapo. We found it to be a good location for us. There are two electric heaters. One in the kitchen and another one in the living room. The living room heater didn't work. The owners quickly called us back and gave us instructions to restart it. The second day we had the same problem again but knew how to restart it.
• Aziah (9/5): Pleasant stay. - Cosy home. Not far from town. Nothing.
• Dale (10/5): Warm and comfortable for our stay. - Very clean and tidy. Everything available as needed.
• Matt (10/5): Great place would use again - Warm, well set up and tidy
• Paul (10/5): A lovely clean, cosy home to hunker down for the night 🥰 - This property was perfect for our one night stay. Warm and comfortable and in a quiet area. It was spotlessly clean and bed was super comfy. Best nights sleep of our holiday 😊
• Jana (10/5): Gerne jederzeit wieder. - Sehr neu, modern und liebevoll eingerichtet. Wir haben uns sofort wohl gefühlt.
• Yiran (10/5): 非常推荐 - 房间比照片上都要好～房主很用心，打扫的非常干净，床单被子味道都香香的，厨房用品齐全，室内室外都有鲜花可见热爱生活 可以给低幼小朋友准备一点点玩具
• Warren (10/5): - Neat and clean property, first property I’ve stayed in that I could place the shower nozzle above my head. Perfect for our needs and handy to the local shops

• ROUWEI (10/5): -
• Susan (10/5): Perfect - Very convenient stop over point, An absolute delight, beautifully furnished with everything you would need. A home from home. Especially loved the garden to chill out in the sun. Nothing
• Farhad (7/5): Pleasant - Cosy Shared bathroom
• Pornsak (9/5): -
• Yi Ning (10/5): - 一塵不染，設備非常齊全，好多地方都感受到房東非常用心！特別喜歡寬闊的曬衣空間。 Everything is perfect. STRONGLY RECOMMEND!
• Anne Marie (8/5): Nice place to stay in Twizel. - The house was spacious and comfortable. Strong water pressure in the shower. Well-equipped. It was handy to be provided with a map of the town. The air conditioning unit was located in the front room, and therefore it was challenging for the cool air to reach the back bedroom. Also, it was kind of strange that the handwashing sink was not in the same room as the toilet.
• Kim (10/5): Peaceful and relaxing. - The property is self catering, sole use of the house. The location was very peaceful and a short walk from shops, supermarkets and a pub. We were able to catch up with washing which was a godsend! The weather, but the hosts have no control over that!
• Angela (10/5): -
• Claire (10/5): Peaceful, perfectly equipped and wonderfully quiet. - Beautifully renovated, super clean and had everything we needed. Wonderful backyard for kids, and for watching the delightful sparrows from the deck. Highly recommended.
• Ngadia (10/5): Favourite house in Twizel - It was one of the original houses when the power scheme was put in.The house has been beautifully painted and decorated everything you want was there.Beds very comfortable and spotlessly clean.I would recommend the house to my friends hope to stay there again if the house is available. I cant think of anything I didnt like great place to stay a home away from home.
• Suresh (10/5): Lovely host, cozy place and truly a home away from home. - Very cozy, squeaky clean and amazing host I loved everything of this property

• Takayaタカヤ (10/5): 远超预期的体验，绝对的性价比之选。 - 特威泽尔就在lake tekapo车程40分钟处，作为备选非常合适。小镇非常安静。同样也处在暗夜保护区，晚上的星空理论上很美，但我们去的时候是多云。 房子非常舒适，在这个价位非常超出预期。内部的家居、厨房用品、洗衣用品一应俱全。有两个卧室和三分离的厕所。沙发和床非常舒服。还有一个超大的院子。很喜欢房主的新西兰鸟类杯垫。 唯一有点吓人的是晚上院子里的虫子真的非常之多，但考虑到地理位置和新西兰的自然环境的优越，这也是意料之中的事情。晚上关紧门窗注意一些的话，房子里面只有零星两只虫子，房主也准备了很好用的雷达杀虫剂。 总的来说，除非非常怕虫子，不然绝对是力荐的房子。

• shaun (6/5): -
• Di (10/5): - 太喜欢这里了，感觉就是一个家，我喜欢在这里享受慢下来的一切
• Josee (10/5): -
• Johans (10/5): - Un emplacement bien situé pour rejoindre le Mont Cook et autres balades. Le logement est une maison indépendante très confortable. Twizel est une petite ville sans charme particulier mais possède tout ce qu'il faut pour se ravitailler.

• ZIYI (10/5): 库克山徒步后，休息的好地方。 - 房间比较大，浴室很舒服，有暖风机，床品舒适。停车方便，距离超市500米左右路程。
• Plumridge (9/5): Superb -
• Junyan (10/5): Great place to live in if you want to have some stargazing - Good facility and well maintained property. Everything was designed to live in. Great yellow tree in yard during autumn. Probably washing machine. Quite old. Gas stove is working sporadically.
• Rudi (10/5): Exceptional -
• Susan (10/5): Fabulous overnight stay at Mackenzie Delight . Aptly names as we were delighted as soon as we opened - Wonderfully modernised “ Keith Hay” home from “ the dam construction “ era. Tastefully furnished with all up to date appliances and facilities. Two heat pumps to keep it toastie in the winter. Very comfortable in every aspect. Great outdoor area to watch the spectacular sunrise 🌅 Walking distance to shops …great pub serving delicious food. A heated towel rail in the bathroom would enhance

• Martin (10/5): Wonderful house to stay in! -

• Lim (8/5): Very good - Nice and quiet place
• Lu (10/5): Exceptional - It’s super chill and well maintained property. And it’s really value for money at such high standard.
• Vithaya (9/5): Pleasant stay, just like home. Very reasonable price. Great for 2-4 people - It’s a two bedroom home with proper equipment you normally have in a home. Big kitchen with regular oven and microwave, able to cook simple meal. Big regular fridge. Good washer ( no dryer, but has a clothesline in the lawn) I arrived in November, still a bit chilly at night. A.C. with heater that works well. Electric mattress also keep you warm all night. Surrounding area was peaceful and quiet. A few km from Twizel town center ( supermarket and restaurants) Just one thing. There should be a sign (name of the place) outside of the house. At first I wasn’t sure I arrived at the right place (all the houses around look similar) until I called the owner.
