Independent in Lyford from NZ$70

"We brought our 2 teenagers (13 & 17) to Sandy Heights and had such a lively time. No wifi was a big draw card and the kids were engaged with us and explored and played games rather than staring at screens. The cabin was cosy and warm and had everything we needed. South Island Robins and Tomtits visiting each day was such a gift. :)Thank you again xx"

"Nice sized chalet. Perfect home away from home for parents and two kids. Plenty to occupy them!"

"Spa was good, great views and continental breakfast also very nice."

"Very pretty and cute :)"

"Good choice. Room with snow-capped mountains was perfect. Modern, clean and toasty warm on a cold night. A good 500 meters from the main tourist strip. Staff very friendly and helpful with suggested walks, restaurants and hot springs info. Only wish i had more time to stay a second night."

"Great little Bach surrounded by native forest and native birds! "

"Nice"

"A lovely 3 night stay in the forest with all the noises you'd expect from the forest surroundings. an abundance of bird calls when sitting outside so relaxing.Alpine lodge exactly as described with comfortable beds well equipped kitchen. Excellent log burner kept the whole house cosy, even though we had lovely mild weather for our stay.Very clean and welcoming stay, highly recommend. "

"We loved it. Love the cabin, the surrounds and the Fire "
