About this house rental

This gorgeous well-loved two storey house is very clean, comfortable, warm, family-friendly and spacious. It’s unique easy-living design makes it elegant yet homely. The large fully fenced back yard and new patio area is great for relaxing and having a BBQ. The house is situated on the quiet western side of town with breath taking views of the Ben Ohau ranges and surrounding mountains. It is the perfect base to explore the Mount Cook National Park, Tekapo, the fishing canals and the many lakes that surround this town. It is also only 1.5 hours drive from Wanaka.

The beautiful kitchen flows through to the open plan large dining area and spacious lounge capturing all day sun. The dining table is big with comfortable cushioned chairs, which allows plenty of space for computer work to happen while others want to simultaneously eat at the table. There is an extensive collection of books, DVD’s (some blue ray), games, puzzles and toys, for hours of entertainment.

The downstairs bedroom is large and has a comfortable king size bed and an ensuite bathroom (toilet and shower). Baby items are stored in the cupboard which include, gates for the stairs, a high chair (feeding chair), a portable cot, baby toys and a baby bath support. At the top of the stairs is an open plan bedroom with a double and single bed, leading into another spacious room with a comfortable queen bed. All bedrooms look out at the surrounding mountains. The upstairs bathroom is spacious and has a toilet, bath and shower.

Two heat pumps keep this house warm during winter, with extra blankets provided. The air-conditioning keeps the house cool during summer, with extra fans provided in the bedrooms.

The Twizel Market Place is a leisurely 10 minute walk or a 2 minute drive from the house with numerous restaurants, bars, grocery and convenience stores. The closest bistro is about a 5 minute walk from the house.

Cleanliness is important to us, however during this COVID19 time we are taking extra care with cleaning and disinfecting, so you can expect to stay in a safe and clean home. All high touch surfaces are carefully cleaned and disinfected between guests. Cleaning products are available for guests to use during their stay, so they have peace of mind. We are also regularly decluttering and spring-cleaning the house, making sure everything is clean. Guests are welcome to bring their own linen and bedding.

All guest interaction is contactless, keys are kept in a lock-box for easy access and self-check-in. We are also very flexible with cancellations during this time, even though our cancellation policy is a full refund two weeks before your booking, we do offer full refunds after this depending on the situation (please speak to us).

The property is well appointed, clean and with everything you need. The instructions for various equipment around the house are very clear. Andrea was easy to contact when we had a water leak in the wall in the upstairs bathroom and had a plumber out to fix it within a few hours, which was greatly appreciated. If i am ever in NZ again i would definitely stay here again.

The location was a perfect one to see the lakes, Mr. Cook, and the Dark Sky Project. The house is comfortable, very clean and has terrific instructions for everything you might want to use that came in handy for us to cook. The house also matches the pictures and the host is very responsive.

This was a stop in our journey to Queenstown and now I'm sad it was just a one night. The place was very clean and there were a bunch of toys for our baby too. There is also a feeding chair for small children which was very useful. Was amazed to find a couple of rice cookers in the pantry 😊 Frankly, we could find everything we needed in this lovely house and loved the view from the room upstairs. It was a family trip and my whole family agreed that the host must have thought of everything. Thank you for letting us stay there and will surely consider another visit in the future.

An overnight stay at an Awesome home. Nothing overlooked, host has thought of everything that guests could need for a comfortable long or short stay. Information & instructions to find & work apliances, & information about the water & to let it run before taking a drink illustrates the level of attention to detail the host has. The home was immaculately clean & tidy & very very well stocked. All amenities close by including fishing spots. Very welcoming & homely feeling. The best holiday home we've ever stayed in.

A warm and welcoming home. It was clean, spacious and nicely stocked. We would liked to have had the time to stay longer and enjoy the views with a beverage out in the porch.

We traveled from Queenstown to Dunedin to Twizel, and then down to ChristChurch, as a way of seeing a lot of the South Island. In Twizel we found a very nice home, much larger than our needs for two, but the full size clothes washer and dryer were well appreciated. All good with the listing. We traveled to Lake Texapo for the Dark Sky Project and the UofC Mt John Observatory & cafe. The drives up and down from the mountains were on relatively flat roads with a few mountain passes, but the views are spectacular because the valley is wide and you can see both mountain ranges.

Lovely house with all we needed for a comfortable stay. Really well equipped kitchen, lots of games and DVDs, comfy beds and fluffy towels and a full laundry. We used Twizel as a base to explore the region and it was lovely to come back to, cook dinner, watch the sunset on the mountains and stargaze as they sky darkened. Andrea is a fantastic host, very easy to communicate with and accommodating of an additional night’s stay.

An amazing house, exactly what we needed for a family holiday. Twizel was literally freezing (sub zero most of the trip) but the heat pumps kept us toasty. The kids loved the cupboard full of toys. Everything was clean and comfortable and everything we needed was there. Well equipped kitchen. We would definitely stay here again and have recommended to our friends.
