This wonderful bach, tucked into amongst the bush is only 10 minutes walk from Lake Rotoiti and 5 minutes walk from St Arnaud's village. The kitchen is incredibly well equipped and the wood burner keeps the living space toasty warm.The architecture is clever and quirky as well as practical and livable. The deck is the perfect place from which to enjoy the surrounding birdlife, bush and hills with a cup of tea in hand or a glass of wine at the end of the day.I would highly recommend this bach to others - we hope to return in the summer.

Step back in time

Lovely rustic 70s bach in the bush, great sound system, a few old cds and lots of random old cassettes to listen to. Beautiful wood fire to add heat and atmosphere. Driveway needs work, couldnt get down in our little car! However great stay.
