Wonderful stay in Twizel

We had a great stay in Twizel under the stars and near the mountains. The place was clean and modern. It’s in a quiet neighborhood where you can relax and be in peace.

The star of our New Zealand holiday!

This was our favorite stay during our 15-day holiday to New Zealand. Teresa goes above and beyond to make you feel at home, the house is extremely comfortable, and the stars are like nothing I’ve ever seen before. I wish we could go back tomorrow!!

Stunning, and so welcoming

This is the best kind of Vrbo where a naturally hospitable person has some extra space and genuinely wants to share it with others. This is like visiting your parents when you've gone away to college, with all your favorite snacks laid out for you in your bedroom and a handwritten note telling you how proud they are of you. Yes, this is the Hallmark movie version of visiting your parents.I'm not even the sort of person who likes to meet the host, but I was instantly charmed by Teresa coming out to meet us to make sure we had everything we needed when we arrived pretty late at night. And yes, she had snacks set out and fresh milk in the fridge and a handwritten note and cool books on the bookshelf.Other pros:Kitchen was a great setup, plenty of utensils, cookwareAppliances included electric range, microwave, kettle, toaster, FULL SIZE fridge, and host offered washer/dryerTV was easy, internet generousTwo showerheads, very coolReally gorgeous sky at nightDefinitely check this one out
