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.

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.

Summary: We were 4 adults and 3 kids and had plenty of room. Very spacious house. Clean and comfortable. Was a bit cold initially but once we lit the fire and used the heat pumps the house was nice and warm. Highly recommend and would stay there again!

Summary: Wonderful, warm Basecamp for exploring the Arthur's Pass area. Clean and well appointed house with lots of living space. Great fire and heating for those cold winter days. I would have given it five stars if it had a hot tub, like of said in the listing description! Great place nonetheless!

Summary: This well-equipped chalet provides a comfortable base from which to explore this area. Comfortable beds and good heating options for keeping warm and toasty. Lots of walks nearby and options to eat out. Enjoyed train watching too.

Summary: We were disappointed with this place regardless of the good reviews left by others. We departed a day early because it was not a good experience: mouse traps next to clean wine glasses, a mix of many wires on either side of the bed, and a old smelling first level forced us to leave early. I contacted the owner, Heidi, and her response was:’ this has never happened before’—and that was all.
