Mahina Cottage

the house is very clean and tidy. beds are comfy. and close to town centre.

Close to Lake Ruataniwha, perfect for us - close to Twizel town and only a 3-minute drive from the lake. Exceptionally clean! he kitchen was fully equipped, great as we enjoyed cooking. The views from were amazing right from the living room. One of the bedrooms features a glass ceiling for stargazing. We had a fantastic stay there and would love to revisit in a summer time to do more exploration!

Nice quiet area , heater was on when i arrived and cottage was warm

Would have liked tea and coffee

The best stay of our New Zealand trip! The hosts were incredibly friendly. They warmly welcomed us, and explained a bit of the facilities, completely making us feel right at home. The cottage is located a little outside the city, which made it the perfect place for a peaceful night of stargazing. It had everything we needed, and the heated bed kept us warm and cozy throughout the night. It was a perfect stay for the three of us, and we would definitely love to come back!

It is spacious and clean.. surrounded by beautifull mountains.. got nice garden around the lroperty

The heater in 1 room wasn’t working.. wifi was slow and not connecting to the tv.

Charming and cosy 2 bedroom cottage set in a beautiful garden with stunning views of the surrounding mountains. It has a great kitchen, heat pump, and heaters in the bedrooms. Additionally, there is a BBQ and a skylight in one bedroom to the watch the stars at night.

喜欢早上到院子溜达，看果树，看花草，看装饰，看日出，晚上观星星，满天星星，像随手就可摘下。

环境很好，设施齐全，方便停车，晚上出门就看到了星河

环境优美

Nice and clean cottage, warm welcome from owners living nearby, close to town and Mount Cook

Nothing

Sehr ruhig

The cottage has a lovely view of the mountains. It is also nestled in a beautiful garden which gives it a very serene feel. The owner greeted us and gave us some interesting background info on Twizel history. The cottage felt very cosy during our very rainy stay.

The scenery is beautiful, and we truly enjoyed staying in this private standalone home. The town is very quiet, making it a perfect place for a relaxing stopover. The view is open and comfortable, and the room is well equipped with convenient facilities and plenty of hot water, which made our stay very pleasant. We loved every corner of the house — it felt thoughtful and meaningful. We carefully read the story shared by the host, and it added a special touch to our experience. My partner and I chose this place for our honeymoon, and we were extremely happy and satisfied with our stay. We would definitely choose to stay here again on our next visit. Highly recommended!

Sitting in a quiet town, Mahina Cottage is home. Hosts were very friendly. The views are fantastic and stay was very comfortable.

Welcoming owners and clean and tidy

The cottage is very cozy, the host is very friendly, the plants are very beautiful, the kitchen is well-equipped, and the little dog is very cute. My family are all very satisfied and hope to have the chance to come again. 房东非常nice，种了很多漂亮的绿植，厨房工具也是应有尽有！床不会特别软，睡着很舒服，就是遇到月中，满月看不到星星

really loved the location and the view of the snow covered mountains were amazing , even the area was very nice and quiet and even managed to see some of the cherry blossums out as apparantly they can grow there as well, would definately stay here again and wish we had longer to stay this time

So clean and welcoming. The views were breath taking. Very private and a modern homely feel.

Nothing.

Location, views, hospitality

There is no dishwasher

房子布置非常温馨，位置很好非常安静，窗外就是雪山，樱花与星空银河构成一幅完美的画面，特威泽尔是个给人惊喜的小镇，房子主人夫妻也非常nice，屋子里有很多游玩攻略，很赞。

Perfect location to see the stars and loved having the ability to wash laundry. Loved that each had their own rooms. Owners are very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.

Loved everything about this gorgeous place! Spectacular views, warm cottage, modern, clean, great location, owners are fantastic and helpful and the pet dogs were a bonus! Didn't want to leave.

Beautiful place with a lovely view. Amenities were great & felt at home

It was all perfect

We stayed at Mahina Cottage for a quick winter escape and really enjoyed our time there. The property manager was very friendly and welcoming, making check-in easy and pleasant. The cottage itself was cosy and quiet, perfect for a relaxing break away from the city. Our kids also had a great time exploring and playing around the property. If there was an outdoor heated bath or spa, it would make the stay absolutely perfect, especially for winter evenings. Overall, it was a lovely stay and we would happily come back again.

Overall, I was very satisfied. If the shower water pressure were stronger, it would take the entire experience to another level.

Surrounded by views and strikingly beautiful gardens, this clean, comfortable cottage has all the amenities you could need for a relaxing and restful stay. The owners are delightful people. I highly recommend staying at Mahina Cottage.

Clean, comfortable and a great location! The scenery was amazing.

Very comfortable cottage! All the facilities are new and very useful. Fully recommended. We also saw rainbow and stars here.

Cosy, modern design that was suitably warm for winter. Hosts were friendly, responsive and helpful. Amazing view of stars at night.

None.

Nice little cottage that was warm and comfortable. We cooked and could have done with a few more utensils such as a grater, sharper knives, boards etc. only two elements and no stove. An outdoor plug for electric car charge would be helpful. Very small TV and non smart tv.

Fantastic location , beautiful near new 2 bedroom settlers look a like cottage

Near new , close to village and fishing

Lovely place with comfy bed, good facilities and beautiful surroundings! Had a great time here ^^

The location was convenient, and the property itself was generally clean and well-equipped. Breakfast was not provided, so not applicable. The location was good — close to local shops and easy to get around.

Communication after the stay was extremely disappointing. A charge was taken from my card without any prior notice or opportunity to discuss the issue. The host was abrupt and unprofessional in their messaging, which left a very negative impression.

Thee gost was really friendly

We come late to check in.the owner is helpful to make sure we are safe and good The property is nice and clean.

The place was perfect, great location near lake and so peaceful. We stayed up late to watch the stats which was an incredible experience. Mahina cottage has everything you need all faculties and outdoor table which we used for all the meals we made. Perfect stay thank you!

Nothing it was incredible! Would love to come back!

Beautiful location & helpful hosts.

Beautifully presented cottage in a great location close to exploring Mt. Cook area. Friendly and knowledgeable host provided great tips for the first time visitors to NZ

We liked everything

Friendly hosts & good communication. Modern clean accommodation in beautiful garden setting.

Great location, clean, well maintained

There's no dishwasher

The access to unlimited stargazing.

Personal preference that pillows can be harder.

Amazing view, very comfy & great location. Owner also fantastic & very friendly/helpful.

Nothing. Everything was great.

Spotless accommodation with welcoming hosts

Very comfortable and well equipped accommodation. Lovely mountain views and very peaceful.

The cottage is so cozy and beautiful! From the first moment we loved it there. The hosts were fantastic. The view is amazing and we enjoyed the quiet. The cottage itself was good equipped and we didn’t miss anything. A place I would recommend to my dearest friends!

Nothing, except that we could not stay longer.

A beautiful setting! It’s a very comfortable home and was absolutely spotless! Would absolutely love to return!

Beautiful views of the mountains and very peaceful , it actually snowed when we were there Awesome

Nothing bad to say

Location and views superb. Comfortable cottage to explore area for a weekend.

Amazing location and awesome accomodation! Cannot think of how the beautiful little cottage could be improved.

Morden design， very interesting and friendly host. Nice view out of the living room

This cottage is cute. Great place to stay. Has all the modern features you’ll need. And what a view!

Nothing.

Fully equipped (big kitchen, washing machine, comfortable bed) with all we needed for self contained stay. We carried our food supplies (milk, coffee etc) which is generally how we travel on road trips, so that side of things was all good for us. Loved hearing the rain on skylight, as it was rainy on our one night stay (so no star gazing but i imagine it would be amazing if it was clear!). Relaxing and quiet. Jim welcomed us on site and was very friendly and helpful. We would definitely like to stay again.

No dislikes. This is a great spot.

We had an enjoyable stay at Mahina Cottage. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. Cooking essentials is all there. Very clean and comfortable :) If there were dryer, it would be good. :)

Everything in the property is prefect. Loved to have stargazing there and it’s only 10mins drive way to reach Twizel town centre.

Nothing to mention.

Well prepared kitchen supplies clean and tidy Warm welcome by the replacement host

Nothing

We only stayed for one night, as we were in town for a function. Location was perfect for where we needed to go. House looked new, very warm and beds were very comfortable.

The only thing we didn't like was that there wasn't any milk in the fridge for a cuppa and limited tea/coffee supplies (just a few random sachets). By the time we got back to the house after the function, everything in Twizel was closed, so we couldn't get any milk.

Perfect … so don’t change a thing!

The house is clean and peaceful

Everything! the host greated us on arrival and she was very friendly. The location was gorgeous, knew it was a dark sky reserve but wasn't expecting all that much but we got to see the milky way! the cottage was really comfortable and there were shops nearby for supplies. Honestly am shocked it is such a good value stay and i know the friends i was traveling with are recommending it to people they know as a great getaway location.

nothing, i really can't think of anything i would complain about, a really great stay. i was in New Zealand for about a month traveling around and i think this was my favorite rental.
