With so much to do we suggest at least a two night stay.  Look at our rates and you'll see we give a discount for second and subsequent nights.  We don't want you to miss the experiences that are unique to this beautiful corner of New Zealand.

At the end of your day exploring, imagine sitting on the deck sharing a convivial drink with your hosts and other guests, watching the trout send ripples across the mirror surface of the pond, as the setting sun illuminates the mountains.  Choose to stay in and partake of our delicious buffet supper, or enjoy a delicious meal at one of Twizel's excellent restaurants.
