    The only issue was the room is bit small for our two big suitcases, but we were still able to manage it fine.

    The Cabin was gorgeous and cosy! Beautifully decorated, nice bed, kitchenette, TV, private entrance, outdoor space, street parking available. Lovely big bathroom and we visited in winter, so the heating in the main room and bathroom was appreciated. Good communication from hosts and it was easy to get in. This was a great jumping off point for our adventures in Tekapo and Aoraki/Mt Cook.

    Nothing! It was perfect. The best accommodation we had in all of NZ.

    Newly build lodge, all new. Perfect accommodation for couples. You get the feeling of a small cabin lodge in the Swiss Alps. Bed super comfy, bathroom is sparkling clean, all furniture is new. Small kitchen with fridge. Small garden outside. Quiet area and quite close to the town centre.

    Bit surprised that there was only a microwave, but I may simply not have registered that when I booked it. In the end it was not an issue due to the closeness of the supermarket and their range of ready meals

    Lovely quirky building with secluded courtyard. Beautifully finished bathroom. Very quiet location but also handy for the town centre

    A very cute and cosy cabin. The property had all we needed for a short stay and was very clean and clutter free. The bed and bed linen were beautiful.. The outside space is a bonus as the main cabin is quite small. Twizel makes the journey up to Mount Cook very easy. The small town has plenty of places to eat, and Logan's Restaurant just out of town at High Salmon is well worth a visit.

    As others have described, it is very small and probably best for one person or two with very little luggage.

    It was very clean, cute, and private. it was as described. We liked the outdoor area and plants.

    Probably a little too small for a couple, especially when you have luggages. The pillows were also too soft.

    It’s vey new, clean, and close to the town centre.

    Returning for a second time, we were delighted that the cabin is still fresh and well maintained. We particularly liked the courtyard garden and continue to admire the quality of the cabin construction.

    As a result of its size the cabin had very limited options and space to hang clothes and adequately accommodate our suitcases. We managed all the same.

    Beautiful, well constructed and relatively new little log cabin. A very quirky property which will appeal to many. It was well appointed and in a quiet area. IMO a great place to stay for a short visit - we had 2 nights at the cabin.

    The only little thing was that we couldn't easily watch tv from bed! but we were only awake in the cabin for a couple of hours so it really didn't matter. Some hair conditioner would have been amazing too!

    Was a little bit further than other places from town but easy to get there by short car ride.

    It was gorgeous, clean and felt very fancy especially given the affordable price. Felt very private due to its own little courtyard space and entrance which was nice. Perfect for a little getaway.

    It needs at least a single cook top so I could boil some pasta, but I did get by with microwave.

    Great communication. Cosy and clean easy to warm up with heat pump. I will definitely stay again.
