“Tony was a fantastic host; attentive, welcoming and informative. The rooms were spacious, clean and warm. Bed extremely comfortable, bathroom spacious with his and hers vanity to get ready.
5 min walk to the hot pools, restaurant and coffee shops.
The grounds are well kept with a seating area overlooking the gold fish pond.
My wife and I were looking for a short getaway and would highly recommend OakView Hanmer Springs.
We will be back for sure!”
“This was our favorite stay in New Zealand. Comfortable house in the cute town of Twizel with lots of dining options, two grocery stores, amazing stars, and convenient to Mt Cook. The house is in a neighborhood so a bit tricky to find at night, but very comfortable with a well-equipped kitchen and a good set up for a family. My only suggestions would be to add lamps (why do New Zealanders hate bedside lamps??) and maybe a few DVDs (after a long day of hiking, would have been nice to watch a……
“Wonderful house in Twizel. Clean, spacious, in a quiet neighborhood. Bit far to walk to town center, but just a 2-3 minute drive.

“So quiet and peaceful. The rooms are very spacious. Lovely views across the farm and it was beautiful sitting on bean bags out on the lawn with a drink. Great magazines plus a huge selection of books for reading and we were provided with an amazing gift basket of goodies. We have stayed at a lot of places over the years, none of them beat Coldstream Estate.”
“I am very impressed with the location, size of the place.Very tidy and clean.Will definitely book again if i need to go down to my son in Burnham Army base. ”
“The property was lovely and spacious. The views are truly exceptional, both of mountains and sea. Our host was extremely friendly and gave us plenty of useful information. She also has stocked the house with plenty of food to make your stay even more comfortable! Thank you very much, would recommend for anyone visiting the kaikoura area!”
“The home was above our expectations. Wonderful location, quiet, warm & well equipped. The wood burning fire was welcoming. Unfortunately (because of the weather) we didn’t have the opportunity to use the spa but it was clean and inviting. The only issue we had was the cleanliness of the BBQ. We were unable to use it for cooking our evening meal. Thank you & kind regards Carole Smith ”
“Nice house with views of the mountains. The house had everything we needed and it was clean. It was easy to get to Mt Cook Village from here and there is good fishing nearby.”
“Very restful stop along our journey. Well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds with nice linens, quiet neighborhood. Star gazing from the deck/porch will be better (possible?) when/if neighbors take down the backyard Christmas lights.”
