About this property

Kea Castle, Stunning mountain views.

This new double glazed home is built to take in the spectacular mountain views. Located right in the village it is easy access to the shop, ski field and lake. it is only a 10 minute walk down the beautiful Black Valley Stream to the lake edge. This home is furnished with a mixture of new and old, so if you need matching cutlery this is not the place for you. This is a wifi free house but we have a great selection of games and books to pass your time in the evenings or on a rainy day. There is cell phone reception. There is a second toilet in the house.

Extras: Cleaning (Optional, NZ$140.00 per stay); NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Bring your own linen (towels/sheets/tea towels);

Great time out
A short stay to catch-up with friends and have a walk, house was a great home base, had great views that all enjoyed. Only problem we had was the very uncomfortable couches, and dining room chairs.

Great place to stay in the Nelson lakes
