About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

BIG DOGS Homestay

The cabin is rustic, small but cosy with views to die for. We run a homestay for BIG dogs - all screened lovely fur babes whose owners are travelling like you. You need to be comfortable with dogs around - in fact you are welcome to bring your own! The river is a short walk away. There is 4.8 hectares for you to explore or drive to many vineyards/hiking tracks close by, and only 20km from Wanaka.
