A beautiful, Chalet constructed with solid beams and chunky timber which gives the impression that it has just evolved from the trees that surround it! The owners have lovingly renovated their dream Chalet "Base Camp". The large living area and kitchen/dining room with its interesting and original beams and architecture give the chalet its quirky character. The living room features a substantial rock-faced fireplace and overstuffed sofas so you can relax after your day on the slopes/sightseeing. Also we now have a fantastic NEW heat pump which seems to warm the place up literally within minutes!! We also have free WIFI, a computer and a home phone for local calls. Base Camp is only a short walk to the center of the village, but is situated in a beautifully quiet and tranquil location. If you listen very carefully you can even hear the odd kiwi at night. There's a wonderfully private and sheltered section for the kids to run around or to have a BBQ (take your own charcoal), and a superb deck upstairs from where you can take in the breathtaking views all around you while you put your feet up at the end of a relaxing day! This is a great place to star gaze the clear night sky surrounded by snow-clad mountains (in the winter) are breathtaking. Also available are Satellite TV 42 inch Plasma TV (NZ Free to air) & a Blue ray Home Theater System, with a small selection of DVD's and CDs Its spectacular view isn't all that makes Base Camp special - its the tastefully renovated rooms, the rock fire place and also the artwork -allot of the paintings have been painted individually by the well known (New Zealand) artist and proprietor of the house Patricia Bohny and are available for sale.
