Arthur's Pass Ski Chalet | Gorgeous family-sized rustic Holiday Chalet in Arthurs Pass. Tranquil setting!

3 Bedroom Ski Chalet in Arthur's Pass, Arthur's Pass National Park

"Base Camp," as we fondly refer to it, is a picturesque wooden chalet nestled into the side of Mount Bealey. Adorned with adzed wooden beams, a substantial rock-faced fireplace, and exposed wood interiors, it exudes the cozy ambiance of a mountain chalet, which it truly is!
Enveloped by beech trees, you can often spot New Zealand's native birds, such as Toutouwai (robins) and Korimako (Bellbirds), right from the living room sofa or the deck. This is the perfect retreat for your family, offering a relaxing escape from the city, and a chance to savor one of New Zealand's most stunning locations—Arthur's Pass.
Base Camp is just a short walk away from the village center yet enjoys a serene and tranquil setting. If you listen carefully, you might even hear the occasional kiwi at night.
Upstairs, there's a private and sheltered deck, along with space outside in the garden for kids to run around of have a BBQ, taking in the great mountain views and the therapeutic embrace of nature. The clear night sky, especially during the winter with snow-clad mountains, is a an amazing sight, perfect for stargazing.
In addition, we provide:
Free high-speed Wifi
A spacious living area with comfortable couches and a dining table
3 bedrooms (3 double beds, 1 single ) 2 baths, accommodating up to 7 guests

You'll be a brief walk from Arthur's Pass Village, where you can indulge in pizza at the local restaurant, The Wobbly Kea.
The Mt. Bealey track, boasting panoramic views of the entire Arthur's Pass valley, lies just under 5 minutes away. This area boasts numerous enchanting walking tracks, each offering a distinct experience—some leading to waterfalls, others meandering alongside rivers or Tarns, and a few ascending high into the mountains. Embarking on the ascent into the mountains begins with a stroll through the lush native forest, adorned with ferns and a rich undergrowth. As you ascend, the forest gradually thins, revealing breathtaking views from the mountain summits.
Whether you seek the challenge of a strenuous day-long trek or the ease of a short, leisurely walk, the options unfold right from the doorstep. For comprehensive details about these trails, we invite you to explore the DOC website..

Summary: Lovely huge house nestled in the woods. Easy walking distance to Avalanche Peak and Devil's Punchbowl walking tracks. Be sure to use firewood from the woodshed, the outdoor wood is often wet.
