The moment you open the front door the welcome sign says it all….. “Relax, Refresh, Recharge”. The entrance will pull you into the open plan living area where all you will want to do is slip off your shoes and Relax. The large windows and sliding doors bring in a lot of natural sunlight and lead out to the paved courtyard. The kitchen is well set up with modern appliances. The master bedroom has an ensuite bathroom, whilst the other two bedrooms are serviced by the very modern bathroom where you can Refresh after your day out exploring, and before dining in, or take advantage of one of Twizel’s many eating establishments and dine out. There is plenty of off-street parking, even room for the boat. When it’s time to depart you will at least be Recharged for your next destination.
