Beautiful views of The Remarkables right from your table

Fantastic views

Just a one night stay, easy reach of town all down hill however that did mean a walk back up a pretty steep road but so worth it for the view.

Perfect rustic comfort

We had a really lovely time at the Cabin. It has so much rustic charm and character combined with the most modern comforts. We were so comfortable and well looked after, great easy communication and we had everything we needed. No details spared. The loft bedroom was so cozy, especially after we got the fire going and the absolute highlight was the hot tub. Lying in the warm water looking up at the stars after some busy days in Queenstown was so nice. Thanks so much!
