Original Twizel Bach - Pet Friendly

Welcome to our bach in the heart of Twizel, New Zealand. 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, just a short stroll from the town center. 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.

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.

Rustic but comfortable cottage, good location and well appointed kitchen. Arriving there was a bit odd as one door was unlocked and the other was wide open. Clearly there had been an unexpected guest who left laundry and blankets on the floor in the bedroom and a couple of glasses on the counter. The cleaning person didn’t know what happened and I never heard back from the host when I wrote her about the situation.

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.

I liked the size of the backyard. Also liked the blackbirds and their beautiful song. Homely looking cabin. Could have had some dry towels, but managed to dry them on the Hill's hoist.

The house has everything you need for a comfortable stay. There is a powerful electric heater, but to warm up the bedrooms you need to keep all the doors open. There’s also a wood burner, but the air regulator wasn’t working properly during our stay.
