About this property
Hurunui River Retreat - Tussock Cottage
Perfect for families, couples, or anyone looking to unwind, this spacious and light-filled cottage offers comfort, tranquility, and stunning mountain views.
Large windows flood the cottage with natural light, while the open-plan layout creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Relax on the deck with a drink in hand or enjoy a soothing soak in the outdoor bath after a day of adventure.
The well-equipped kitchen makes mealtimes a breeze, whether you're preparing a cosy dinner for two or a meal for the whole family. At the end of the day, the comfortable bedrooms and modern bathrooms provide a restful retreat.
Located just a short walk from the Hurunui River, guests can enjoy fishing for Brown trout and Salmon or explore nearby walking and cycling tracks that showcase the beauty of the region. If you're up for a day trip, Hanmer Springs is just 40 minutes away, offering even more to explore.
Tussock Cottage shares a site with Flax Cottage, and both can be booked together for larger groups or families travelling together.
Whether you're after a family-friendly holiday base, a romantic couple’s escape, or a rural break from the hustle and bustle, Tussock Cottage offers a charming stay with all the comforts of home in a beautiful countryside setting.
Please note that there is another property on site that may be occupied during your stay. It is also available as a holiday rental through Bachcare and can be booked in conjunction with this house. You can search PID 1181926 to find that property.
Please note that the laundry is a shared facility and is attached to Flax Cottage next door.
Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking.
