Adorable warm log cabin on a private section ideal for a couple or small family

The Beeches is a cool little hide-out. Quirky elements give this house character. A warm log fire easily heats the house. Perfect place for a couple or a small family.

The Beeches is set in an acre of native bush, where you will wake to the song of the native birds. Take a deep breath and feel revived with the crisp clear mountain air. You will be able to relax on the several decks, enjoying the beautiful view of Mt Lyford and the Seaward Kaikouras in total privacy and seclusion.

The Beeches is an adorable little cabin, ideal fora romantic break for two. It has a log burner, stove/oven, fridge/freezer, microwave, TV, a bedroom with comfortable double bed with duvets and pillows and 2 single beds on the mezzanine, and just about everything you’d need for your stay.Please note: no pets.

There is an underground ‘cellar’ in the garden; a cool little hide out for some kids play.

There is plenty to do at Mt Lyford in both summer and winter; the ski field is 10kms from this log chalet and has excellent facilities for families, there is also ice skating, tennis, walking, swimming holes, the hot pools at Hanmer, several golf courses within easy reach, and Mt Lyford Lodge offers an ambient bar and restaurant meals.
Note that bedlinens are not standard included but can be arranged on request. No wifi or cell phone coverage.

Magical and peaceful tranquility
Our stay at the Beeches was absolutely wonderful. Everything we needed was there, there was a lovely fireplace which kept the house toasty on the entirety of our stay, completely covered the upstairs bedrooms with warmth as well. Lovely balcony’s on both sides of the house where you can enjoy a coffee and a book. There was a very kind neighbour who helped us with some car issues we were having. If you walk up the hill there is a stunning view of the mountains. Highly recommend and i will be staying here again!

Not impressed.
No communication from propertymanager after I'd messaged them 3pm the day of checking in. I had a simple question. We got to the property at about 7pm. Couldn't initially find the office to get the key. The wood fire was hopeless. Had it going for 3 hrs and the house was still not warm. Had to sit with jackets The house isn't big. It wasn't clear on the website, when I booked, that linen and towels werent included. I'm not saying it wasn't on there, but it wasn't obvious.

Quiet retreat
We were looking for a quiet place to unwind and read and relax. this cabin was spot on, super warm and cosy. Log cabin is great and you almost feel like a pioneer, with the mod cons lol
