Lovely accommodation, exactly what we needed. Only challenge was loud traffic and trains throughout the night, but that's obviously out of host control! We will definitely stay again.

Arthur's Pass Chalet

We loved the log-cabin/chalet vibe of this cosy, old-fashioned bach. Great for a group of us staying with upstairs and downstairs spaces. Amazing location, we had a wonderful time.

Easy walking distance to Avalanche Peak and Devil's Punchbowl

Lovely huge house nestled in the woods. Easy walking distance to Avalanche Peak and Devil's Punchbowl walking tracks. Be sure to use firewood from the woodshed, the outdoor wood is often wet.

Beautiful bach!

We loved staying here - just down the road from the village and close to lots of walks into the surrounding beech forest. On rainy days the large open fire in the lounge was a great place to gather around. Thanks for making this place available.

Great place to stay and explore

Wonderful, warm Basecamp for exploring the Arthur's Pass area. Clean and well appointed house with lots of living space. Great fire and heating for those cold winter days. I would have given it five stars if it had a hot tub, like of said in the listing description! Great place nonetheless!
