Mountain Village Bach
Renovated two bedroom cottage in Arthurs Pass Village. Great views over the village and North up the valley. Easy access to popular walking tracks, village cafes and train station.

To keep your costs down there is no cleaning service provided so please clean before you leave.

Formerly called Woodsmoke, there is now no fireplace. The bach has been renovated with sliding door to the main bedroom, new double glazed windows in the lounge & bedrooms, double glazed sliding door onto a deck on the north side and new heat pump. The interior walls are polyurethaned plywood with a slight white wash. The double bed and fold-out double sofa bed are both new.
Please be aware this is an authentic Arthurs Pass bach - a mountain cabin of about 42sqm. It is recommended for ascetic persons, looking for simple accommodation. The flush toilet is in an annex to the entrance porch. Ideal base for tramping, mountaineering or Coast to Coast race training. Short 950m walk to cafes and Visitor Centre.
Note that there is a railway through the village and coal trains arrive then pass through most nights.

Brilliant cabin, toasty and warm with great views from the deck. Everything we needed as a base to explore some of the area. Property managers very helpful. Would love to stay again.
We were pleasantly surprised by the amount of sunlight this place gets considering it's in Arthurs pass. Lovely place with a good heatpump. Dave was very responsive to questions we had about our stay.
This was a whistle-stop trip to Arthur’s Pass and the Mountain Village Bach was perfect for our family. The bach was easy to find and check in to, and just as described online.
We enjoyed our stay in the Alpine Cottage. There were comfortable beds, a good shower and a kitchen with everything we needed. It was very convenient to Arthur's Pass Village, and the regular trains provided interest when we weren't out birdwatching or walking.
