About this property
BIG DOGS Homestay
The cabin is rustic, small but cosy with views to die for. We run a homestay for BIG dogs - all screened lovely fur babes whose owners are travelling like you. You need to be comfortable with dogs around - in fact you are welcome to bring your own! The river is a short walk away. There is 4.8 hectares for you to explore or drive to many vineyards/hiking tracks close by, and only 20km from Wanaka.
