About this property
Affordable & cosy alpine cabin - an ideal couples retreat with outdoor bath!
Tucked away on the forest's edge, this little cabin is the perfect place to escape to.
The location is 1.2 km from the township - a peaceful spot yet only a ten-minute stroll (or a 3 min drive) to the hub of Hanmer. The cabin is new and, although it is small, it is quick to heat and has everything you need - a comfy queen-sized bed, smart tv, modern ensuite and a well-equipped kitchenette.
Enjoy relaxing out under the stars in the outdoor bath on your own private deck.
Pet dogs are welcome to join you on your stay -we just ask that there is no dog hair left in the cabin and no damage done to internal furnishings. The huge 0.6 ha section is a dog's paradise with heaps of room to run around. The section is dog fenced off from the neighbouring house but it is not fenced on the sides that border forestry reserve. We do ask that any dogs are kept under control as there are walking tracks nearby within the reserve. There is however a large grassy area on the section and within that we have fenced off an area of about 10m x 5m (including trees for shade) as somewhere secure to leave a dog unattended.
As many of our guests aren't travelling far from home (often from Christchurch), to keep the price down we offer the option of bringing their own sheets (or sleeping bag), pillow cases and towels. If you'd rather we supply them, there is an extra fee for this ($25 for the bedding and $5 per towel).
If you want a break away in nature that doesn't break the bank - this is for you.
If you want a simple base from which you can explore many bike and tramping trails - this is for you.
If you want to spend your time enjoying the cafes and restaurants of Hanmer and only really need a small kitchen - this is for you.
If you want to stay somewhere that really feels like being in the wilderness rather than the suburbs, this is for you.
If you want to be able to bring your dog(s), this is for you.
