About this property

Kea Retreat - Peaceful Getaway

Welcome to Kea Retreat, the perfect place to recharge and to explore the beautiful Nelson Lakes region.

Enjoy this fine, simple and well equipped 1 bedroom house situated close to St. Arnaud township, Lake Rotoiti and Rainbow Skifield. Watch the native birds from the large windows of the dining area, spot the Keas stripping the bark off the gumtrees, relax in the sauna or put your feet up on the hugest couch.

A small, but well equipped kitchen with a dishwasher and also a BBQ outside will make you want to cook and enjoy your meals while overlooking the valley or sitting on the sunny deck.

You can enjoy some quality time far away from the hustle and bustle. A few games and puzzles as well as books are available to keep you entertained - but there is no TV.
If you need wifi internet and are staying for more than a week, please enquire.

A few important things to note:
- Please bring your own duvet covers, sheets, towels, etc.
- Please clean the place after your stay for the next guests and follow the provided instructions to make the house ready for being without people when you leave.
- Please take all your rubbish and recycling with you.
