About this property
Lake and Mountain Views - excellent skiing, tramping, cycling and water sports
Ben Ohau Retreat is a luxury self contained holiday home, located on the shores of Lake Ohau close to the southern Alps in the tussock strewn MacKenzie country.
It provides access to year round fly fishing, tramping and more relaxed nature walks, mountain biking, skiing and the opportunity to observe the rare black Stilt in natural environments. The Alps to Ocean cycle track and Te Araroa walk are a stones throw away.
The house has 3 double bedrooms and a bunk room - sleeping up to 8 people. The large deck provides marvelous evening views of the sun setting on craggy Ben Ohau and the Benmore Range. Nestled in the lee of the predominant Northwesterly winds it is not far to go to see lovely views of NZ's highest peak Mt Cook and also locally known as Aorangi. Tramping, mountain biking, lake and river fishing, skiing, bird watching, landscape painting and photography are at your doorstep.

Bathroom 1/Half Bathroom: There are 2 separate toilets, one with a hand basin
Bathroom 2 : Large bathroom with shower, bath and basin.
Special conditions:
Minimum Stay of 3 nights.
