This place is like a bach which has been used for many years and the furniture has been there also forever. Well used couches with a few rips here and there. If you after a place to stay with a lot of people and don't mind a bit of dust, then this is the place to be. Quiet location and close to everything. Kitchen, bathroom and toilets were clean and the shower was good.

Once again a sensational location to base ourselves for the annual fishing trip to Twizel. Our second time staying here and after not being able to book it last year I was told by the other guys to make sure I got in early to get us back here once again. Seamless transaction again and all expectations were met. Terrific place to stay !
