Twizel Alps Retreat

4.96 out of 5 average rating, 332 reviews1 week ago

We loved staying in Andrea's Airbnb! There was plenty of space for our family of 5, the layout was nice, kitchen and bathrooms fully equipped, and - perhaps the highlight for us - the wood-stove/fireplace right there in the dining area. What a joy to eat dinner after a cold day hiking in the mountains, right next to a roaring fire! It was very quiet at night, and the beds were so comfortable. We slept like babies. It was only about 50 minutes drive to Mt Cook, and for us was a much better option than trying to stay at the park itself. Twizel was a nice little town with peaceful streets, some very nice restaurants, a Foursquare grocery store (very handy for stocking up before the hikes), and what we found especially cool was the food-trucks near the town park that sold all kinds of delicious foods which we took home for dinner. I wouldn't even give it a second thought: if we're in the area again in the future, THIS is where I will want to stay. Thanks Andrea!

Stylish, Comfortable Clock Tower View Apartment

This is one of the most well presented AirBnB’s I’ve ever stayed at. There is absolutely everything you need for a very comfortable stay. This is the second time I’ve stayed there, and I’ll definitely stay there again if it’s not booked out! It’s a fantastic location and the garage is a bonus.
