Mountain Tiny House with Amazing Views and Large Garden in Arrow Junction, South Island

Description

Celebrate your special occasions here! One of the best tiny house rentals secluded in a 9-acre property in Arrow Junction, set in a beautiful 2.5-acre garden with an orchard, a large vegetable garden, a stonewalled hothouse, ponds, and other unique garden elements that guests are welcome to explore.

Although the tiny house is close to your host's home, guests will still have their much-deserved privacy and quiet getaway.

The Space:
It sits beyond our orchard and edible gardens in a secluded corner of a 4-acre paddock in its own private gravelled yard. In the warmer months, it’s surrounded by wildflowers. It offers breathtaking views across open fields of lucerne and mature trees to the soaring mountains beyond which are capped with snow in winter.

It's one of the best tiny house rentals in Arrow Junction for seeing the sunrise, especially in the winter when a sea of frost covers the entire area, enhancing the spectacular mountain views. Nearby Aosta Arrowtown, Gibbston Valley Winery, and stunning lookouts such as Coronet Peak, and Brow Peak are just a few of the recommended local attractions.

A comfortable 155 square-feet stay with easy access to water, split air conditioning, a kitchenette, cooking equipment, and excellent bathroom facilities, including a cassette toilet with a removable waste-holding tank, hand basin, and shower (gas heated for hot showers) for your use.
