About this property

Original Twizel Bach - Pet Friendly

Welcome to our bach in the heart of Twizel, New Zealand. Nestled in the beautiful Mackenzie Basin, Twizel is a hidden gem known for its stunning landscapes, clear skies, and proximity to some of the most incredible natural wonders the South Island has to offer.

A warm and classic kiwi batch, designed to help you make the most of your time in this stunning region. Just a short stroll from the town center, you’ll find yourself perfectly positioned to explore all that Twizel has to offer, from local cafes and shops to the nearby lakes, walking trails and even bike trials.

In the winter you'll find the house warm thanks to a log fire. In the summer the large lawn space allows ample space for warm summer evening s outdoor. Plenty of space for tents, caravans, boats and off street parking.

Our pet friendly Bach is safe and secure for small and large animals. We have installed a small dog and cat friendly door for easy indoor and outdoor access. Even the most determined escape artists will find it impossible to slip through. Your pets are warmly welcomed to relax and feel at home indoors and outdoors.

Twizel is a gateway to some of New Zealand's most breathtaking sights. Spend your days exploring the turquoise waters of Lake Pukaki, gazing at the majestic Mount Cook, or cycling along the Alps 2 Ocean trail. And when night falls, the clear skies offer some of the best stargazing opportunities in the world.

Whether you're here for a weekend getaway or a longer stay, our batch is the perfect base for creating lasting memories with your loved ones. We can’t wait to welcome you to Twizel.

Each bed has a light blanket, mattress protector and pillow. All linen, towels etc will need to be provided by guests. Due to needing to supply your own linen this Bach may not be suitable for oversea’s traveler’s.

nothing fancy but good old kiwi bach
This is a place you need to bring your own bedding (which we had) and towels (which we forgot :-) ) It was good value for money. We did not have internet. I am not sure if that could have been arranged. We stayed as a couple with my brother but we think it might be also a really nice place for a family. It is easy walking to the town center. We would come again.

We only ended up spending 8 hours here after getting in late and leaving early the next day. Good location, clean and great that it was dog friendly! Thanks for the stay!

One night stay
The host was great with communication in terms of how to access the property and it was in a great location. However we noticed that there were crumbs on the beds, no toilet paper, a dirty towel in the bathroom and a dirty sheet underneath one of the beds. This maybe due to the cleaner not doing their job properly. There was also a large crack in the kitchen window. Overall this place was very run down and in need of a good spring clean.

cozy? Not at all
Poor. It is actually outrageous to offer such accommodation under this name. Only the bathroom was actually renovated and corresponded to the expectations that one can expect as a tourist in New Zealand for this price. Everything else, the beds, the kitchen equipment, the furniture, the broken window pane in the kitchen, the torn curtains on the window and the overall impression of the accommodation were really miserable and, in retrospect, off-putting for us. The fact that travelers have to bring their own bed linen is also unacceptable. Only the ancient radio with decent music helped us to put up with it for one night.

Alles andere als cozy
Poor. Es ist eigentlich eine Unverschämtheit, eine solche Unterkunft und unter dieser Bezeichnung anzubieten. Einzig das Bad war tatsächlich renoviert und entsprach den Vorstellungen, die man als Tourist in Neuseeland für diesen Preis erwarten kann. Alles andere, die Betten, die Küchenausstattung, das Mobiliar, die zerborstene Fensterscheibe in der Küche, die heruntergerissenen Vorhänge am Fenster und der Gesamteindruck der Unterkunft waren echt miserabel und für uns im Nachhinein abschreckend. Auch das man als Reisender seine eigene Bettwäsche mitbringen muss, ist eigentlich nicht akzeptabel. Einzig das Uralt-Radio mit vernünftiger Musik half uns, das ganze eine Nacht zu ertragen. Poor.

Just what we needed
Shontelle was wonderful. We didn’t read the part about guests providing linens and towels and she helped get us sorted. The place was a short walk to town and served the purpose of a sleep and a shower before hiking Mueller.
