No frills accommodation but certainly comfortable and had everything we needed. Steep ladder up to the bedroom loft (we’re seniors!) but we managed it carefully. No tv but we didn’t mind. Amazing starry night each night of our stay. Close to the A2O bike trail where we biked from our accommodation towards Twizel, Great communication from host. Thank you.

About the host

Hosted by Emanuel

Host profile image
We are a family of 5 from Dunedin. We built the shed as our sleeping quarters while we plan the future house build on the same site. We have set it up to be a very comfortable amd warm sleep out.

Why they chose this property

Stunning location off the main road. We love that 99 percent of travelers barrel on past to central otago not knowing that tucked away just 17km off the main road is a secluded haven. All the beauty with out the crowds. Ski feild is a unique balance between commercial and club feild that has an old school hospitality approach. There's not another feild quite like it in Nz.

What makes this property unique

We have a nice lil batch, not a mansion.
A space where you read, play cards and boardgames like we use to before all the screens arrived.
