Perfect Spot in Twizel

My wife and I were looking for a relaxing place near Lake Tekapo and Mt. Cook and Teresa's place was perfect. We were able to cook, relax, enjoy local food, the wonderful sunsets and more. We also were ideally located to get to Mt Cook and Lake Tekapo for hikes, star gazing and more.Teresa was very helpful, shared local knowledge and available as needed during our stay.Thank youMike

Fantastic place to stay

We had a great stay in Twizel and the Bach was perfect. It was spotlessly clean and had everything we need for a very comfy stay. Teresa is a very attentive and friendly host who made sure everything was going well for us. Would highly recommend staying :)
