Cute and comfortable log cabin in the mountains perfect for a couple or family

Cabbage Tree Cabin is the perfect little hideaway cabin for a couple or small family. Beautiful views, peace and quiet, outdoor paradise.

This cute and cozy log cabin is small but has all the functionality you need. The views to the mountains are amazing. In winter snuggle up in front of the logburner which heats the chalet up in no time. Summer entices you to sit out on the deck and let the clear mountain air refresh you. Sit under the green canopy in the shade or play a game on the lawn. The cabin is fully self contained.

The kitchen has everything you need to create a good holiday meal. The bathroom has a shower, toilet and basin and includes a washing machine. Upstairs are 2 bedrooms; one has a queen bed, the other one has a king bed which can be spilt into 2 singles and there is one more single bed in this room. There is asecond toilet upstairs. A little balcony opens up to the north side with an amazing view of Mt Lyford.

In winter the skifield is only 8 km up the mountain so the cabin forms a perfect base for snow avtivities. The driveway offers easy access to the main road to the skifield.

In summer enjoy walking, swimming or just relaxing on the private deck while listening to the plentiful native birds. A great place to relax and unwind.
Note that bedlinens are not standard included but can be arranged on request. No wifi but cell phone coverage (Spark) is available.

First stay log cabin
This was our first stay at the log cabin at Lyford and we found this to be very comfortable and welcoming. The location was very quiet and peaceful. Very tidy and had all the amenities, great fire place which kept the place warm throughout. Would recommend this as a place for a quiet getaway with only a short drive from Christchurch.

Great night out in a cute wee cabin
We were not there long enough to experience the space fully. But I think from what I saw its a great space with an awesome little fireplace. The space was a bit dirty on arrival with ashes in the fire place. But all and all not to bad

Perfect time away. Wish it could have been longer. Close to the road, which was ok, but would have preferred no road noise. The toilet up stairs keeps running if you don't pull the flush button up. Shame check out can't be 10am as felt a little rushed to leave. BUT all in all loved it. Clean and very lovely place. Will hopefully stay again.

Lovely place shame about the cluster flies
The log cabin was tidy and well equipped. The fire was lovely, bed comfy and plenty of space. We were told about the cluster fly problem on arrival and needed to vacuum several times during our stay as the flies were in abundance. Although not your usual flies this did detract from the enjoyment of our stay
