It overlooked the airstrip with a great view of Mount Cook in the distance. We saw Mary’s husband on departure and he kindly took the time to show us his aircraft inside their hangar which was amazing. The only downside we found was the wifi was very slow but overall it was a very peaceful and interesting place and we really enjoyed our stay. ##### Paul Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yi-Ting Dec 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The place has a breathtaking view of the airport. We enjoyed it from the afternoon all the way into the staring evening. Mary was very friendly and even let us use the kitchen for dinner and breakfast. But the coolest part was definitely the three airplanes displayed inside the house—I took so many photos to show off! ##### Yi-Ting Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah Nov 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great spot, so close to Twizel. Beautiful room and really nice big kitchen area and a guest lounge. We made use of the kitchen to cook our supper and enjoyed the continental breakfast (eggs were provided, so we even cooked some eggs). Mary was a very welcoming host and would stay there again (and recommend to friends) ##### Sarah Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Loriza Jan 16, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Amazing stay, kitchen and lounge was spacious. ##### Loriza ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bruce Nov 27, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great spot to stay, whether passing through the area or staying for a couple of days.
