About this Holiday House

Shepherds Creek cottage is a remote high country station destination. Situated on Peak Valley Station, the lower boundary is Lake Benmore and Totara Peak skyline on the Benmore Range our upper. A dream destination for mountain bikers, boaties, fishermen, walkers and horse riders. It is OFF-GRID and RUSTIC but still has all the necessary comforts for your 'away from it all holiday' away. While there is NO CELL COVERAGE at the homestead, you can get reception a short distance away. Access to the lake is a short drive or walk away with good boat access - about 1km. There are numerous tracks for mountain bikers to explore and of course fishing Lake Benmore is legendary. Twizel is our nearest town center. Although only 35kms away our access is a rough road, so slower going. It takes approximately 50 minutes to drive from Twizel to Peak Valley Station. Sturdy tyres are advised. NB: BOOKINGS FOR THIS COMING SUMMER WILL BE TAKEN IN OCTOBER.

Nice relaxing place with no wifi! Like going back in time great experience for our teens!
Ed Morgan
This spot is simply outstanding. The drive is a mission but coming around the last bend to see the valley makes it worthwhile. Sleeping with absolutely no noise and waking to the views of Lake Benmore with its spectacular backdrop are amazing. As a bonus salmon we’re running when I was there. Something I never thought to see in NZ - knowing the story it was great to watch these fish perpetuating the species.

Amazing piece of paradise, really enjoyed our stay, lovely views and walks. Enjoyed cooking a roast in the old coal range, everything you need in the kitchen. Fantastic being able to take our dog as well. Thanks Shirley and Ken for being lovely hosts, we had a lovely time, Lynda & Lester
