Jan 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic property for families What a great house for our for our summer holiday in Twizel! Lots of comfortable beds with two living areas which worked perfectly for our two families. We all fitted around the big dining table for dinners and card games. Certainly appreciated the fully fenced property, fantastic amenities which were modern and clean. Location was perfect - a quick walk to town and a short drive to the lake where we spent most of our time. I have no doubt that we will be back! ##### Jackie O. Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2025
