In summer do the biking and hiking or swim in our mountain tarn! This chalet is situated at the top end of Mt Lyford village close to the start of the ski field road and the shuttle stop.It sits above the eastern side of the village and looks directly out over the Whalesback and Seaward Kaikoura Ranges.
Sandy Heights is great for 1 or 2 small families and has 2 bedrooms and a mezzanine. Both bedrooms have a queen bed each,and there are 2 singles and 2 trundlers on the mezzanine floor.
There is a cosy log fire in the lounge which easily warms the house on cold days. The lounge is open to the ceiling and gives the house a nice airy feel. The mezzanine has the perfect spot for a kids play zone, so the adults can have a quiet space in the lounge.
A fully equipped kitchen with fridge and freezer,stovetop,microwave makes your stay a breeze. The bathroom has a shower, toilet and basin. The upstairs bedroom has an ensuite with toilet and basin.A washing machine is supplied in the laundry.
Your group will have exclusive use of the lodge during your stay.
