We enjoyed our stay. The side light didn't work in my bedroom and at one point none of the lights worked in the other bedroom. We left a note suggesting they check the bulbs. We certainly left the place cleaner than when we arrived.

Perfectly suitable dog friendly cabin
We are always so appreciative of accommodating dog-friendly, fenced accommodation. Tucked away from Hanmer near conical hill the house has a private, sunny deck and lawn. We were impressed by the comfortable bed, the two heat pumps if you wanted a cooler room over night, and the functional kitchen and other facilities. Thanks so much

Lovely home away from home. Ideal to have my paw baby with us. Cold temperatures were not a worry due to awesome fire and had everything you could need, thank you an awesome 50th birthday with my sister who is back in NZ for a short time, lots of new memories made in this wonderful chalet.

Acheron Return
Our second stay within a few months, this time with our small dog. Surprisingly, it was a warmer trip than our March one and we even got to sit out on the deck. A warm and inviting log style cabin with everything you need for a great trip. Walking distance to town and lovely views from the dwelling. Will definitely stay again.
