off road adventure
There were no curtains on 2 windows in one of the bed rooms with street lights and neighbor's this is unacceptable. Carpet was marked and spiders present and marks on some walls. Soap dispenser was broken in the dishwasher. Washing filters were full and needed cleaning. Vacuum cleaner didn't work, no suction. Some blankets were stained. Bit untidy outside but apart from these issues a nice home. Needs a little TLC. Good location.

Very satisfied
The host was very quick to reply. As it was winter we arrived to a warm house with the heaters going. The house was clean and tidy and was all we needed .

Good but!
House is warm, clean and tidy. There is no table! (dining or outdoors) to sit and eat at. There is a small outdoor table in the photos however that was not there when we arrived. Not really conducive to family Christmas dinner and get together for 6 days also no clothes line. Overall good house and plenty of parking for boat and a couple of cars however for the price, a dining table would have been nice. The outdoor furniture is pretty rickety and I had to spend a while tightening all the Allen screws. We have been regular visitors to Twizel over the years and feel that this house was expensive for it offered overall.

Great location and place. Small refinements: A little cold in the main suite and perhaps more curtains/blinds needed on small windows in rooms. While the moon and stars are beautiful they do light up the rooms at night and no curtains caused the place to be colder. 2) no washing machine. As a travelling family and skiing we chose a house as it would give us cooking and washing facilities. We were looking forward to washing our ski and other clothes. The machine was out of order with no prior notice. This caused a few issues for us.

Beautiful house, sleep out was a added bonus!
Incredible house, very well organised and spaced out. Good quiet, private location. Plenty of space and bedding, wouldn’t recommend the bunks for adults. Sleep out was an added bonus even including a shower and toilet.
