The Tussocks, Arthur's Pass

This recently renovated holiday home is located 700 metres from Arthur's Pass Train Station and 1.8 km from Devils Punchbowl Falls. The property is non-smoking and is set 5.3 km from Temple Basin. Amazing location! Peaceful and serene. No one around. An older cottage, but with modern facilities (fantastic bathroom, newer washer/dryer machines, comfy beds --enough for at least 4 people, probably more--, cozy living room with wood stove). Close enough to the 1 restaurant and 1 cafe/shop in Arthur's pass (1-minute drive), but away from the road so there's no traffic or other people. Great hosts with great communication.

Country Retreats on Ranzau 1

Nelson

A private entrance leads guests into the holiday home, where they can enjoy some wine or champagne and chocolates or cookies. This holiday home is non-smoking and soundproof. Our unit was super clean, modern and the beds were comfortable. We liked the option of being able to take our dog, we decided not to this time though. Was thoughtful to have some drinks, chocolates, milk and biscuits ready for our arrival as well as some fresh eggs in the fridge. Having the use of the free washing machine and drier was fab.
