Twizel is famous for the incredible stars at night, being the closest town to Aoraki Mt Cook, fishing in the lakes and canals that surround us and it's breathtaking landscapes. We are half way between Christchurch and Queenstown and most of our guests rest on their journey between these two destinations. I'm passionate about this place and I love being able to share it. If you choose to stay with us you will have the entire house to yourself, but I will be on hand if you need anything or have any questions. I run a small business called, Book Twizel.

We don’t think you could find a more special place to stay when you visit this special place! Less than an hour from Aoraki Mt Cook, Lake Tekapo and , Omarmara Clay Cliffs and under the UNSECO International Dark Sky Reserve in Twizel is the “Red Hut”. Build so we can share our passion for our landscapes and environment with you. Red Hut is perfect for couples who want to enjoy breathtaking scenery with a touch of luxury. If you haven’t already booked and you need another reason, we should let you know our other passion (and full time occupation) is flying, so if you are interested ask us about deals for Mt Cook Ski Planes.
