Ben Ohau Villa

Great location. Felt safe and was warm in the cold weather.

Spa towels were not very absorbent

Property is a little bit out of Twizel but that’s a good thing as it’s really remote and secluded! Had everything you need for a stay and the hot tub is great! Would love to come back for a longer time

Nice position with absolutely nice mountain view. The snow-capped mountain peaks look even better. It feels so cozy to have a fireplace when you stay here in the winter

Living area with brighter lighting facilities would be even better.

Beautiful home with a beautiful backdrop. It was slightly out of Twizel, but that was part of the appeal as it was spacious and you could enjoy to quiet. The house had everything we needed for our stay.

Not the hosts fault but most of the dishes were not cleaned properly by the guests before us, so we had to rewash most dishes.

Silence

Weather. It kept raining

The serenity of the place

The beds were too small for a couple. 2 ended sleeping on the sofa.

Good location

Photos not showing what it looks like now.

Terrible places

Very homely, with a well stocked kitchen. We loved the outdoor spa with the stunning views.

The main bed was a little hard for my husband’s taste.

Perfect

Location, views, fireplace

The view is fantastic, pretty big land.

No table tissues provided.

非常漂亮的乡村民宿，前后有很大的花园，厨房用品很齐备，还有一个恒温小泡池。离镇子也不远

Everything. Attention to detail and quality 👌. The owners sure did consider what the guests love. Perfect.

Nothing.

This place is a nice house out in the country with a small collection of other houses spaced a ways apart. It was wonderful for doing some stargazing since there aren't any lights around at night. The host was very responsive trying to figure things out since the info booklet wasn't where it was supposed to be. The jets on the hot tub were nice after a lots of hiking at Mt Cook.

The info on arrival was missing and the appliances are all nice but only have hieroglyphs that didn't mean anything to me - so it took some time to figure things out. The host was very responsive which was helpful.

Location, facilities and comfort

Property was in an excellent location with everything you would need. Clean and tidy.. Beds were comfortable. The hot tub was ready use and was just what we needed to relax and unwind after a long day travelling. I would definitely come to stay here again. Highly recommend this villa.

Large lounge, home from home, BBQ, quiet

Isolated from everywhere - not a problem but wild and nowhere to walk should you want to do that

Sooooo incredible! I’m sad I only stayed one night, so private, breathtaking, and the spa tubbbbbbbb!!!!

Peaceful well maintained home surrounded by New Zealand’s natural beauty. This property was perfect for relaxing after a day at the National Park. We loved the patio for dinner with our family and coffee in the morning. Also recommend the neighboring distillery for a tasting.

Clean and comfortable. A good location, too

N/A

There is spa. Hot water. wonderful

Bugs at night

Spacious rooms. Very quiet at night. Comfortable accommodation.

Location was a little bit out of town which was exactly what we were looking for. The views were spectacular and the house was lovely and quiet.

A few more outdoor seating options would have been nice but really did not negatively impact our enjoyment of the place.

The location was stunning, amazing views and space round us and we enjoyed stargazing from the hot tub.

Secluded spot with beautiful views. The house was comfortable for the three of us. We enjoyed the spa as well.

The spa could use a clean.

Great location. Everything we could have asked for in a home away from home. Excellent and timely communication with the host.

Absolutely beautiful place, it was just gorgeous. Location was so quiet and serene. Comfortable living area and beds. Loved the spa, even though we only stayed one night and it rained we were still able to use this to relax.

Everything! Location and hot tub were highlights.

Spacious accommodation with a large private garden. Excellent location.

Such a beautiful, spacious place to lay back and relax! Everything was ready for us, the place was immaculately clean, tidy and cozy. Perfect place for a couple or a family, not to mention it is dog friendly!

Everything that we needed as a family of five was there at our fingertips. Such a beautiful lication

The amenities, the way the property was maintained, the secluded beauty by the lap of mountains, that was everything I was looking for. The owner had greatly taken care of their property.

The remoteness

Liked everything

Spacious, clean and comfortable

It would be better if there is bed side table in the small guest room.

וילה מאובזרת באופן מלא במרחב כפרי מרוחק ומבודד. חצר רחבת ידיים עם פינות ישיבה וספא. נקי משופץ. תקשורת נעימה עם בעלי הבית.

רק לחדר שינה אחד היו שירותים ומקלחת צמודים.

房子很棒

價格偏高

Wunderschöne Aussicht, groß, Kamin, Whirlpool

Great experience, love the fireplace, the stargazing.

Hard to find and very secluded.

We've stayed at lots of different places during our New Zealand roadtrip but this one has been by far the best. The location really can’t be beat — super close to Mt Cook NP, Lake Pukaki, and Lake Tekapo, but also really private. Amazing views and easy to see the stars. Clean, really well made beds (not at all a given), hot tub (we went to Tekapo Thermal Springs so didn’t get to use it in the end), super clearly communicated self check-in. Would be great to also have bedside lamps in the two smaller bedrooms, but otherwise we couldn’t have been happier and would definitely stay again.

This place was amazing! The hot tub was the highlight of my stay. I would definitely stay here again if I had the chance.

The property was amazing, but the oven in the kitchen wasn’t clean, so I had to clean it before making pizzas.

Awesome location. Very scenic, quiet and very private. Beautiful views of the mountains. Huge property with loads of room for kids to run around. Large parking area in front of the houae. House is 15 minute drive to central Twizel for shopping and a 5 minute walk to the canals and 50 minutes to Mt. Cook. House was warm and bedrooms were small but comfortable. Each had double beds Dealing with the owner was great. He was friendly, amenable and accommodating to our party of 10.

There were a few things that would have made the stay better. For example, we were 10 people, and there were only 4 drinking glasses, 6 forks, and 20 knives. We ended up having to buy paper plates and utensils, and a baking tray. The cooking pots were pretty old and worn. It would have been nice (really nice) if the hot tub had been emptied and fresh water added. And I mean REALLY. The spa was not chlorinated and anyone who went in the spa got a bad case of hot tub folliculitis the day we left, especially the kids. Got a "I'm sorry" from the owner but no offer of anything else. I wasn't after a refund but an offer of something would have been appreciated. We are out of pocket for doctors and antibiotics. If I am being fussy, the living room carpet had multiple stains, sofa pillows were ragged and torn and the ashtray outside was full of butts, the washing machine was broken, oven was dirty, loads of bird poop on the outdoor cushions and windows etc. These are small things that didn't ruin our stay, but for $700+/night, they could/should have been nicer.

Private and cosy little home at a secluded area. Able to see the starry skies and milky way at night!

Hot water supply is limited. Good enough for shower for 4 pax on my guess, thereafter the hot water needs to refill overnight. Washer and dryer also has issues not working well.

The washing machine and the dryer not working well. After host send someone over to fix, it still not working. Host left a bottle of wine and chocolate for the cause of inconveniences.

This property was stunning. We used it as a base for snowboarding Ohau and treble cone. The fireplace & hot tub were a massive hit for us after the hill. Star gazing was also impeccable from the back yard! We also checked out the lake nearby (recommended from the host in their welcome book) and had a quick cold water plunge. Whole experience was excellent. Comfy beds. We will be back.

房屋设施很好，卫生很棒，细节之处均可彰显房东的体贴， 院子很大很漂亮，孩子们渡过了愉快的一晚

The property was big, with everything you need for a good rest.

Nice and warm. Had everything you’d expect and more. Spa was a big hit. Host was super responsive to requests

Would be good to build out the property information that is left at the property, I.e how to work the tvs in the bedrooms (we couldn’t figure that out) and the dishwasher( need to hold button down) etc, where to find kindling if needed etc

There wasn't one thing we all didn't like! Such a beautiful spot and great value for money , we will definitely be rebooking this place

nothing it was all perfect

Spacious and lovely-furnished house. Very comfortable to stay. Full facilities to stay and cook meals. Very beautiful nature and scenery around house with nice outdoor space to relax with nature around. Love to stay in this place. Short drive into Twizel town. Overall is perfect.

Everything. The fire place and spa pool were a lovely bonus after a cold day walking local tracks.

So fancy and fun. Farm style

No

The place was cozy and surrounded by beautiful nature. My family enjoyed the spa at night gazing stars in the sky. My family said they wished they could have stayed longer at Ben Ohau Villa.

Literally, there is nothing to complain about this place.

Comfortable home in lifestyle block Ben Ohau. We stayed one night while riding Alps2Ocean.

Beautiful location and house. Awesome backyard for running around.

The kitchen was lacking. Absolutely fine if you’re planning on eating out but with long waits everywhere we decided to bake some pizzas at the house. The oven trays were pretty gross with cheese and grease left on them from who knows long.

Nice view, tidy.

Water pressure is too low, it is hard to show.

Comfortable lovely house with beautiful views.

A little bit far away from town.

Location

Needed a deep clean of interior of home.

Gorgeous and secluded, big and comfortable

We barely used any water before we ran out of hot water, so it was cold showers for 3/4 of us. We were only staying for one night so it wasn’t a big deal

Lovely home, location was good, nice veiw of the countryside, the spa was enjoyable. Bed was comfortable. We had a nice weekend staying here and would return.

The location is absolutely stunning. Hot tub was amazing. The space. It is a gem of a place.

Could do with a washing line to save on using owners tumble dryer.

Location was private. Not a bad drive to Mt Cook.

Quiet Location

Nothing

Fantastic location for seeing lake Pukaki and Tekapo and Mt. Cook. We had unobstructed views of the night sky at night, which was simply amazing. Quite literally perfect if you're into stargazing. The property is ginormous and very well equipped, with a fully stocked pantry, as well as BBQ and laundry facilities. The bed was comfy. The sofa was insanely comfy too, and the smart TV was great.

We weren't able to use the hot tub much as it was in need of a proper clean, and the pH was off. We showered immediately upon exit as it burned our skin. The host was informed that the pH needed checking (as indicated by the hot tub screen, and our skin), so may not be an issue for future guests, but it was not resolved during our stay.

Big place

Lovely layout, very homely, beautiful outlook with a great hot tub!

We loved it, nothing to dislike.

Beautiful property and home! Loved the hot tub especially on the clearest of nights as we sat in it and looked at the stunning su set and starry night! Helpful hosts who messaged straight back when we had a question. Lovely, peaceful get away! Thank you.

Nothing

The size, the facilities and the view

Hot tub, night sky views, clean, comfortable beds

Small dinner table

Beautiful setting of the house with excellent views. The highlight is seeing the beautiful skies at night from the hot tub. Spacious living room. Two bathrooms which is great when travelling with more than two. Good facilities for laundry. Kitchen well equipped for dining in. Attentive to recycling.

Dining table rather small. Small bedside lights would be great.

Everything.

N/A

Very comfortable beds👍👍

Would have been nice to have a fan in the lounge

Cosy and standalone house surrounded by nature. Nice outdoor patio to chill, relax and enjoy the scenery. Very comfortable bedrooms. Living room TV can access to YouTube and Netflix. Kitchen has full set of amenities for preparing meals and host provided a bowl of complimentary chocolates and fresh milk.

Suggestion to add some hooks in master bedroom bathroom to hang clothes. Useful to provide more information about how to operate the aircon but helpful host came to assist quickly.

It just has everything I need! If we have more time we would definitely stay longer!

Absolutely love this place, very cozy. We enjoy the jacuzzi under the stars.

nothing I can think of.
