overnight stays at the high country huts. (The price of
this activities are separate from the house rental).
Cooking in not provided, but dinner can be
enjoyed at Real Journey's farm restaurant just 5 km down the
road or you may choose to go in Queesntown, catching the 8 pm
steamboat back to the house.
During the ski season you can have a
helicopter pick you up in the front yard and take you up the
mountain for a day of heli skiing in your won backyard. Or you
could even ski down to one of the huts and spend the night and
enjoy the quiet Mountain environment and a romantic hot tub
evening. (These extra activities, thus an extra charge).
Walking tracks are numerous and spectacular
-- both along the lake and in the high country. If the great
outdoors is your call, then there is nowhere else like this
high country experience.
