Amazing Cabin

We absolutely loved staying here, the property was beautiful and had everything we needed. It wasn't far off the beaten track and the host was helpful with us. Bed was super comfy, the place in general was really comfortable for us to stay in, and we had a memorable christmas here. Highly recommend!

Great short stay

Not much to do during the day but in the afternoon and night when the sun goes down and you can see all the stars it is magical! Would come back again during the spring or autumn when it’s no so hot.

Cabin with great character!

This cabin has so much character with fantastic amenities. The host sent us detailed instructions which made checking in very easy, as well as pointing us in the direction of Lake Oahu which was the most refreshing afternoon swim. Would have loved to have spent longer and would definitely return.

Magical cabin stay

I saw this this accomodation back in 2018 and it’s been on my bucket list ever since. Almost four years on I was beyond excited to finally stay. It exceeded expectations. We had the most magical stay in the High Country cabin. Autumn has been such a great time to visit, as we had beautiful sunny days out doing the walks around Mt Cook, yet the evenings were cool enough to snuggle up and drink hot chocolates by the fire. Being located in the dark sky reserve the stars were absolutely breathtaking. Located in the most beautiful location surrounded by the mountains, this cabin was a dream come true.

Peaceful + Picturesque

A great location to enjoy all that the Mackenzie has to offer. The cabin was quiet and had everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The host was a great communicator and kept us informed with all the information we needed to ensure a relaxing experience. Highly recommend if you want to be able to gaze out at the mountains or at the stars in peace and quiet with a cosy log fire to keep you warm.
