Perfect balance of peace and quiet
Foehn cottage is a welcoming, warm and spacious accommodation. It was just what we needed to recharge and reset before heading out to Aoraki/Mt.Cook for a day trip. The aesthetic is on point, the cottage immaculately clean and furnished. We sat on the porch to enjoy the afternoon sun and play with the resident cat! Our hosts were always friendly and helpful when we needed it. It’s also well-situated near the town center and supermarkets, cafes, bookstores and a bakery. I can’t think of a better place to stay in Twizel.
