MenardsNZ

Magic is real – and it’s here at MenardsNZ! There’s something special about this 10-acre ecosanctuary: the smell of manuka in the fresh alpine air, glittering stars at night, mountains in the backyard, pure spring water, the chirping of frogs, the art and creativity of the decor, roaring log burner, swing sets and more. Pets welcome, the property is fully fenced. Two-bedroom cottage, cosy sleepout, amazing garage hangout/retro museum of awesomeness – you’ve never seen anything quite like this!

COTTAGE

Cosy and private 2-bedroom cottage, full kitchen (stocked with essentials), high-quality linen, fast Wi-Fi, books, collectables and board games. Great shower with good pressure and lots of hot water! Both bedrooms have queen beds. Roaring log burner and double insulation make this a great option for a cosy winter stay.

SLEEPOUT

An adorably converted shipping container with Netflix TV, double bed, high-quality linen, and a breakfast nook with a mini-fridge, toaster, kettle, table and chairs.

GARAGE HANGOUT

You’ve never seen anything like this! Retro video & gaming lounge with wall-to-wall VHS & DVD, plus old-school gaming consoles (NES, N64, Xbox). Musical instruments, turntable and vinyl, over 2,000 CDs, dartboard, recliner chairs, board games, and more! A communal space shared with other guests and your hosts.

The town of Twizel is a 15-minute drive away with restaurants, shopping and activities. Located in the Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve MenardsNZ is perfect for stargazing away from the lights of town. There are many activities available within an hour’s drive, including Aoraki/Mount Cook and Lake Tekapo. The Alps 2 Ocean Cycle Trail and Lake Ōhau are only 3km away.
