    Gorgeous, new, well appointed home in an incredible location for visiting Mt. Cook. One of the best places my family has ever stayed, definitely hope to return. Had everything we needed and more.

    The Rest was perhaps my favorite lodging during our two week trip in New Zealand. Check in was a breeze. The host was very responsive and kindly accommodated our request for a late check out. The space was huge for 2 people. I loved the open...

We have two great spaces on the property to stay. Either a 2 bedroomed spacious unit for up to 4 people with a roomy living area or a studio unit suitable for 1-2. Both have luxury features which will make your stay very comfortable.
Jill and Tony are very pleased to welcome you to our lovely part of the Mackenzie country. We are only too happy to assist you if you require any further information on Twizel and surrounding areas
Twizel is a great base to stay when visiting Mt Cook and the surrounding high country lakes and mountains.. Also the town has an amazing amount of outdoor activities right there including the interesting Hydro Town history . Also we are part of the Aoraki Mackenzie Dark Sky Reserve and our cottages are situated in a semi rural location (still in the Twizel township) which enables great night time viewing away from street lighting.
