About this property
Log cabin in the mountains with indoor climbing wall, perfect for a family.
Top Shelf, located at the top end of Mt Lyford village, offers fantastic mountain views in every direction. This basic log cabin receives all day sun and is a tranquil getaway for a family or couple. The living area, heated by a cosy log fire, is furnished and has comfy bean bags to relax in. The dining area seats 5 and the kitchen is well equipped to provide a good holiday meal. Downstairs is a shower and the spiral staircase leads to the upper floor bathroom and toilet. The master bedroom has a queen bed and the mezzanine floor has 3 single beds. The rimu ceiling and exposed wooden beams provide a warm natural ambiance.
A large deck opens up from the mezzanine floor with great views of Mt Lyford, perfect for star gazing at night. Listen to the bell birds while having a picnic on the lawn sheltered by a pocket of native bush. The lounge room wall is dotted with climbing grips to practise your bouldering skills.
NO EV-charging is allowed on this property.
Top Shelf is perfectly positioned to the ski field access road and it is only a few minutes walk to the reserve, tarn and bush walking tracks to Lake Crystal.
Top Shelf is the basic no frills log cabin on the list of Mt Lyford Holiday Homes which has all the functionality you need for a peaceful and relaxing holiday.
Note that bedlinens are not standard included but can be arranged on request.
