Property Description
Top Shelf, located at the top end of Mt Lyford village, offers fantastic mountain views in every direction. This basic log cabin receives all day sun and is a tranquil getaway for a family or couple. The living area, heated by a cosy log fire, is furnished and has comfy bean bags to relax in. The dining area seats 5 and the kitchen is well equipped to provide a good holiday meal. Downstairs is a shower and the spiral staircase leads to the upper floor bathroom and toilet. The master bedroom has a queen bed and the mezzanine floor has 3 single beds. The rimu ceiling and exposed wooden beams provide a warm natural ambiance.
A large deck opens up from the mezzanine floor with great views of Mt Lyford, perfect for star gazing at night. Listen to the bell birds while having a picnic on the lawn sheltered by a pocket of native bush. The lounge room wall is dotted with climbing grips to practise your bouldering skills.

Great weekend away / fire ++
Such a nice weekend away , slow paced and enjoyed being in the mountains. The home was perfect including a fire which we had on for nearly the entire time. There is internet there / 3G/4G. Nice wee walks around perfect for young kids w a little playground.

Amazing stay in the NZ wilderness
Lovely little log cabin with all the basics to help you enjoy your stay but also get back to enjoying the simple things in life. We loved it!

The scenery was beautiful. The cabin itself was run down and needs a spring clean. It’s not good value for money -we were disappointed in how little love has gone into the place.

Summer break
Great spot. Comfortable cabin. Had everything we needed. Mini golf site was very cool! We were a bit disappointed about the $10 per person charge to access the local walks (nothing to do with this listing) but the accommodation side was great.
