About this property

Charming Country Cottage

With mountain views on three sides, the cottage is 22 km from Hokitika on the road to the stunning Hokitika Gorge. It was built in the 1950's for the farmer's father on a small terrace to keep it high and dry. Beautiful original wooden floors throughout complement the rustic and eclectic decor. Modern renovations are in character and great beds assure a comfortable sleep. The covered deck was built to the sun and allows all weather outdoor living. On a clear night, stars fill the sky. Farm machinery, cows, milk tankers, are seen occasionally. More often you do see and hear cars heading for the gorge. The Hokitika Gorge Scenic Reserve is 10 minutes away as is the character filled Kokatahi pub and cafe. Lake Kaniere with hiking and swimming is 20 minutes away. Off the main tourist trail, Camelback Cottage is a great place to relax and unwind.

What a wee gem!
This is the kind of Bach that you really hope that you stumble upon when you make your booking. It was clean and well maintained. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay for the whole family, but it was also charming, delightful quirky and fun. From the family of weka in the garden, to the greenhouse filled with raspberries, this Bach was an experience in itself. It’s well positioned and handy to the hokitika gorge, and lake Kaniere. We were there for four days and we never rang out of places to go and things to do. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.
