The Chalet is a short walk from the Homestead, set amongst
well-established pine trees for shelter, with stunning views of
the surrounding mountains. It is built in a Colorado alpine style,
clad in cedar with copper spouting. The lounge has an eight-metre
(26 feet) high beamed ceiling, with leather sofas seating eight,
arranged in front of the huge log fireplace of stunning South
Island West Coast schist. A TV and video/DVD player is available.
This is a perfect combination for two (or more) couples travelling
together, or a family. Internal access to the lounge is available
if the upstairs rooms are booked by the same party.
Riverview Cottage
New in 2004, the Riverview Cottage has enormous windows to take
full advantage of its sweeping views down the Cass River and
across to the Puketeraki Range. With a full lounge between the two
junior suite bedrooms, this can be taken by one couple that enjoys
space and privacy, or is perfect for two couples or a family. The
snug has leather armchairs, books, TV with satellite connection
and video/DVD player and CD player, to provide a cosy hideaway in
front of the double-sided log fireplace in cooler weather.
