About this property
Long Lookout, St Arnaud
Long Lookout is one of the orginal bachs at Lake Rotoiti. It is the perfect weekend holiday spot, only an hour from Nelson or Blenheim.

Great location. This is a character home with a big lounge area. The rooms are small and the bunk beds are very old.

Great proper old fashioned bach
We love the old fashioned feel of this bach. And the fire place. Don't be fooled though, you will need your slippers and wolly jersey! But that's ok!
