Backcountry hut with a modern twist

Take in the lake and mountain views while you sit back and enjoy the comforts of this new architecturally designed home.

Relax by the fire while you unwind and take in the back country hut feeling with a modern twist. Enjoy the Mackenzie country with bush walks, mountain biking, fishing and of course the Ohau ski field, just 20 minutes from the house.

The property is perfect for a weekend away with family and friends or a romantic getaway for two.

The main house has one queen size bed, plus kitchen, living and bathroom (including bath). The second hut has two queen beds and two single bed bunks, along with a shared bathroom and large shower.
