About this property
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 for one night stays there is no cleaning service provided so you are expected to clean before you leave.
Note that towels, bedsheets and pillowcases are NOT provided. Bring your own sheets or sleeping bags. There are duvets and pillows provided for each bed.
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 out the front door, off the entrance porch. Ideal base for tramping, mountaineering or Coast to Coast race training. It's a short 950m walk to store/cafes and Visitor Centre.
Note that there is a railway through the village and coal trains arrive then pass through most nights.
During weekends & holidays we may not be able to respond immediately to any requests.
Located in Arthur's Pass National Park, this cottage is in the mountains. Bridal Veil Walk and Temple Basin Ski Area are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore Historic Village Walk and Devils Punchbowl Waterfall.

Lovely quaint bach with modern conveniences. Comfortable beds, views of mountains and trains. Friendly hosts who checked we had everything needed. We would definitely go back.
Hosts were excellent and replied promptly. Bach is well located although there is some noise from the trains during the weekdays but great for trainspotters. Lots to do in the area.

Very good P accomodation. Served our needs very well. Thorouppghly enjoyed all the walks we managed to squeeze into our one night stay. Communication with our host excellent. Information regarding facilities very easy to follow.
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.
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.
