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.

Reviewed May 4, 2026Beautiful 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.
Cosy home. Not far from town.

Reviewed Feb 13, 2026The 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.

Reviewed Dec 16, 2025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。

Reviewed Dec 5, 2024It’s super chill and well maintained property. And it’s really value for money at such high standard.
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.
