This is a great house very well appointed.Only criticism is with adults the hot water system is marginal especially if the spa bath is to be used. The cleaning was a bit disappointing. The garage hadn’t been swept out. The ash from the fire still in bucket just outside. The bbq area a bit messy. The house though first class

This property was perfect for our stay as we photographers explored the areas around Twizel and within a day's return journey.Very quiet street and a short drive to the shops.Great kitchen and living area. As there was a couple and myself, we only used the master bedroom and one of the other queen bedrooms which were well sized. The beds were very comfortable, but some new firmer pillows would be good.The recycling heating system was very difficult to operate and did not stay on for very long. Great to have a washing machine, but a dryer would be necessary if the weather was wet. Luckily we were blessed with beautiful sunshine for our 7 days.The hot water tank for the property is not instantaneous, so if you had a house full of people they would need to have very short showers indeed.Great outdoor area and backyard.

Family friendly home

We all enjoyed our 4 days at this property. Weather was not good for the first 2 days so log fire was great. Kitchen had everything we needed. A suggestion - not criticism - maybe more than 1 hand towel for a group would be welcome. Thank you to our host.

Like: quiet location, modern home, spacious Would recommend: providing nonstick cookware or a good nonstick pan spray. Convection oven doesn’t heat very well. Ice maker in refrigerator should be in working condition Pancake griddle would be nice (nonstick) Good roll of plastic wrap and aluminum foil would be nice Provide instructions on how to control heat/cooling in the house Skeleton key for front door is awkward A garage door opener would be nice A lot of bath towels are provided but few hand towels and no washcloths Shampoo/ conditioner/ lotion would be nice More cable channels on TV would be nice

No heat in Winter

We stayed during the winter and the bedrooms and baths were cold - 2C. The heaters didnt work. Only the woodstove kept the main living room warm. The lack of heating should be listed.
