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.

We had a great stay in Twizel. The cottage was lovely and clean and perfectly sited. Hot shower was awesome. So pleased we were able to bring our doggies with us. Highly recommend this place. Only the TV wasn't working but in the end we really didn't miss it. Thanks so much Shontelle and Paul

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.

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.
