Great Place and Location

We enjoyed our stay at Mark and Kay’s cabin in Castle Hill! We were close to the walks we wanted to do around Arthur’s Pass. The area is beautiful and without many people on the beautiful trails in the area. The cabin was very comfortable and had all the amenities we needed.

Fantastic cabin in a gorgeous location

The cabin was the perfect getaway! The location was excellent for walks, surrounded by scenic views that made every step enjoyable. The home itself was clearly well cared for, which made our stay even more comfortable. Check-in was a breeze, and the host was incredibly accommodating and communicative throughout our stay. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing and beautiful retreat!

Cosy chalet

Great place for a family to retreat when the wearer is cold, as it’s so cosy! Everything is clean and tidy, with space to relax in this great Alpine location. Biking, skiing, walking or chilling - a great escape !
