Fabulous!

A great place to stay - a really homely feel, lovely wood fire and nice to be able to wander down to the river and along the banks.

Great location, clean & well equipped

Great place to stay for exploring the surrounding sights. The cottage is well equipped, tidy and clean and so warm and cosy on a cold night. Just 5 mins drive into Twizel, so handy for all amenities. Definitely recommend. Amy and Brooke are great hosts. 👌

Lovely small holiday home on the edge of town. Super quiet area. Perfect for a couple or small family. Huuuuge fenced grassy area, for the dog to run around in safety, looking northwards down onto the Fraser river with gorgeous autumn colours. Really good woodburner and all mod cons, Wifi excellent, comfy bed, with lots of blankets and duvets, powerful shower with endless hot water. Second stay here in 6 months and will be back- endless outdoor things to do in the Twizel area.

Well appointed bach, lovely location

It was a pleasure to stay at this bach. The owners had obviously put a lot of thought and care into making this place comfortable and very easy to stay in. It was exceptionally clean, warm, comfortable and had everything we needed. This place rates as one of the best places we have stay in and we would love to return. Thank you to the host for being so generous and welcoming with all the little individual touches, making it a place to remember. We highly recommend it.

Lovely accommodation

It was a lovely place to stay, very peaceful and tranquil and as I was doing business in Twizel it was nice to come back and relax there in the evenings. Just a couple of recommendations : a curtain over the bedroom top window would be good, there was no iron and a shaving mirror in the bathroom would be helpful as the mirror is on the opposite wall. Otherwise, absolutely no complaints. I would definitely stay there again.

We wouldn't have any hesitation to recommend this property. It is a unique, spacious, comfortable well equipped accommodation with a great outdoor space. Quiet location. There's a very pleasant 30 minute walk into town along the river. No significant problems, but curtains in the bedrooms (small windows) would have been appreciated. We couldn't find any coat hangers!
