About this property
A classic 1970s Kiwi Bach designed by Chaplin's Architects
A classic 1970s Kiwi Bach designed by Chaplin's Architects nestled among the pine trees. This character-filled holiday house captures the essence of a traditional New Zealand getaway, blending nostalgia with the tranquil beauty of the Mackenzie Basin.
Warm, Inviting Spaces
The heart of the home is a cozy living room with a wood-burning fireplace—perfect for curling up with a book or sharing stories after a day of adventure. The modernised kitchen has everything you need to prepare family meals. A big shared bathroom is also at this level. The wrap-around decking invites you to relax in the sun with a morning coffee or enjoy a meal on the deck as the sun dips behind the mountains.

Upstairs, a fun mezzanine room awaits—an ideal hideaway for kids to sleep, play, and let their imaginations run wild. It adds an extra touch of adventure for families travelling together.
A few steps away, another single bedroom and the main bedroom are side by side.
Stargazing Paradise
As night falls, the magic begins. Relax in the hammock in the garden and promising an awe-inspiring and unforgettable experience.
Location
Just a ten-minute walk to Lake Tekapo lakefront and scenic tracks.
Whether you are seeking a peaceful retreat, a base for adventure, or a starry-sky escape, Murray's Forest Rest offers a slice of classic New Zealand holiday magic.
