About this property

Dusky's Hidden Gem - a Romantic Getaway in the majestic Mackenzie country

Tucked away in a quiet cul de sac, 2 minutes walk to the center of Twizel, enjoy your own private sanctuary. Modern studio unit, with separate bunk bedroom and private garden with barbeque, picnic table, lounger suite and outdoor bath. Relax and enjoy the star studded Mackenzie sky lying in bed, looking out the sky light, or take a 2 minute walk to one of the fine restaurants. Central in the Mackenzie country, it is only 5 minutes drive to the blue lakes of Lake Ruataniwha, Pukaki or Benmore; catch a fish and buy fresh salmon at the salmon farm; take a day bike on the A20 bike trail or head to the majestic Mt Cook National Park just 45 minutes away. The perfect location to rest and relax between exploring one of the most beautiful areas of the world.

Lovely!

Great property! Comfortable and great location. Some issues with the check in process as the booking was not the same on my VRBO as theirs so I would recommend reaching out the night before or the morning of check in. Also no check out instructions so hopefully I followed the rules:))
