About this Holiday House

Welcome to Taumata Maruapo (Resting Place of Dreams). A large 1990's build family holiday home that holds a special place in the hearts of those who stay from a night to a week. A peaceful sanctuary nestled in amongst 50 hectares of sub-alpine beech forest. A two-storey wooden home with a covered wrap-around verandah on three sides. Two bathrooms - upstairs toilet and shower, and downstairs toilet and bath. Open chimney log burner which heats the entire space and firewood supplied for those cold winter nights and for keeping the family warm. Washing machine, dryer, microwave, oven/stove, hot-water, and clean fresh and filtered alpine rainwater for the house's water supply. The property is forest-clad, surrounded by sub-alpine native beech forest, with wonderful bird life and adjacent to Nelson Lakes National Park (and Lake Rotoiti) and significant conservation and recreation areas. A private and easily accessible creek (via two walking tracks) is located just 50m from the house for quiet reflection or a VERY crisp dip (for those brave enough!!). Located 7km from St Arnaud Village (and Lake Rotoiti - Kerr Bay), 50 minutes to Nelson, one hour to Blenheim, 25 minutes to Rainbow Valley Skifield.

Joanne Northover
Very happy with the house and its facilities, thank you. Suited our group of 9 perfectly. Lovely peaceful setting in the bush with bellbirds singing in the trees. Beds very comfortable. Thoroughly recommend and hoping to return.
ANTHONY MCKENZIE
No neighbors. Surrounded by nature. Sounds of birds in the morning is magic. Only downfall is a little noisy. Walking around etc. If someone gets up at 3am you are bound to hear them. Saying this though this was the second stay and would definitely stay again

Great location out in the bush, tuis and robins all around. Spacious living, big veranda keeps it cool.
