Torlesse Lodge is a fully equipped comfortable and warm house with great mountain views in Castle Hill Village. With 4/5 bedrooms, two bathrooms, two separate living areas, a modern kitchen and a drying room for the skiers and trampers, Torlesse Lodge can accommodate up to 12 people. Only 70 minutes drive from Christchurch on State Highway 73 towards Arthur's Pass, passing the Craigieburn & Torlesse mountain ranges. There are plenty of outdoor activities within minutes - skiing (Broken River, Porters, Mt Cheeseman and Craigieburn are all close at hand, with Mt Olympus, Temple Basin and Mt Hutt a little further away), climbing, tramping, rock climbing/bouldering, mountain biking (including the fantastic Hog's Back Track and Craigieburn Trails), walking, fishing, water skiing, caving, tennis, golf and a petanque area. Castle Hill Village is a really friendly and safe environment for children - and the playground is just across the road.
