The house is located in a central area of the city, with a small garden and lots of sunlight. Everything is new and extremely clean. Beds are very comfortable and the neighborhood is very quiet, so it is possible to truly rest. The house has first and second floor, with one room and toilet in each floor. The rooms are quite big, as well the bathrooms. Kitchen is very well equiped, and there is a good supermarket under 10 minutes walking. I recommend this house!

It was very comfortable, very warm and very well equipped. It was in a good, quiet location, an easy walk into the village. It was great having two ensuites. It was thoughtfully appointed and had everything we needed to be very comfortable. Highly recommended.

This accommodation is quite possibly one of the best holiday homes I’ve stayed in. The kitchen, bathroom and entire apartment was fully equipped with everything we ever needed and more. Location is convenient and Michiel was a perfect host - he even went out of his way to source an emergency sewing kit for us!

The holiday home was just perfect, will all the essential amenities- including coffee machine, that actually works and not for just show unlike other places. Washer dryer, good quality linen, fire place +plenty of supplies, fridge with milk in it and butter, jacuzzi, outdoor area with plenty of space for my dog to run around and that too with view. Rooms were clean, comfy bed, bathrooms were spotless. Definitely recommend this property if you are travelling with dog and wanna stay over night in Twizel
