Heavenly cottage

A perfect place which is beautifully appointed . The attention to every detail including etchings of the cheeky fantails and that visited us morning and afternoon and the star gazing skylight in the main bedroom, made us feel like we never wanted to leave. Highly recommend this cottage and hope we can revisit soon. .

Gorgeous

We loved our stay. The property is absolutely gorgeous inside and out. We will be trying to book the same place every time we come to Twizel. Our favourite by far.

Starry Starry Night

This is an absolute GEM! We cannot give it enough STARS. The property is better than the photos. The decor is beautiful, the beds are so comfy, and the place is immaculate. Jana has thought of everything you could need. The master bedroom has a skylight and the stars at night are magical. It is an ideal location if you are going to Mount Cook.

About the host

Hosted by Jana

We are an outdoors oriented family who enjoy skiing in winter and exploring, hiking and camping in summer.
My partner Sean, who is a self employed builder, and myself designed and built our cottage together in 2019. We have a passion for natural materials, sustainability and quality workmanship and wanted to create a space that is relaxing and and a bit special.

Why they chose this property

What makes this property unique

Our cottage is very welcoming and warm and it is built of mainly natural materials inside and out. It is established in a private setting amongst a small forest of pine trees and a range of newly planted natives.

The cottage features some very comfy beds, a cosy lounge corner, a tiled bathroom with underfloor heating, a self contained kitchen with high quality appliances and utensils, TV, books and games, free WiFi and more.

The cottage is very light and airy with heating and cooling solutions in place for hot and cold days. It is also generally wheelchair accessible.

The sparkly night sky of our internationally renowned dark sky reserve can be admired from the bed in the master bedroom through a large skylight in the bedroom ceiling, as well as from our modern cedar hot tub.

Come and enjoy our special wee cottage - you will not be disappointed.
