Rustic cabin with hot tub at Homewood Forest Retreat
Get away from it all and relax under the stars in this delightful cabin with a wonderful spa pool surrounded by majestic pine trees.
The cozy cabin is perfect for two with a comfy queen bed and tea and coffee making facilities.
Located 5 min from Alexandra and the famous Otago Rail Trail, 10 min from Clyde and just over an hour from all the attractions of Queenstown, Wanaka and the ski fields.
Please note that the cabin is a small space and the private bathroom is adjacent to the cabin. Access to the bathroom is external via a separate entrance a few steps away from the cabin creating a more private bathroom experience.
The property is not fenced so pls keep that in mind if you are traveling with pets.
You will have access to the entire cabin and the landscaped area surrounding the cabin as well as the use of the spa pool.
Homewood guests are able to explore the forest and local cycle trails, relax in the spa pool under the spectacular night sky, enjoy a magical picnic among the pines and so much more…
We also have E-bikes for hire should you wish to explore the incredible local bike trails.
If you are travelling by bike and need transport this can be arranged.
Homewood Retreat also has two other log cabins on the property about 20-30 meters away.
Paul and I live in the main house with our very well behaved pets - Skyla (small dog) and Vader (cat) and the other loft cabin above the garage is for guest accommodation. So pls do note that there may be others staying on the property.

Bliss through relaxation
This was the perfect end to a long day of driving. We were made to feel so welcome, and the setting was idyllic. Relaxing in the hot tub, and then a comfortable and cosy bed. In the morning we were unhurried in our departure. We'll be back.
