D’Archiac Cottage is a well designed, sunny house with a large deck from which to catch the sunset over Mount Sefton and the mountains surrounding Lake Tekapo.
The modern open plan living and kitchen is wonderful for being together, kept cosy by a wood fire and heat pump, and cool in the summer with fans and large doors opening to the verandah.
The four spacious bedrooms and three bathroom spaces cater perfectly to a group, with a large main bathroom (shower, toilet, basin), plus an additional shower and toilet.
The verandah is a lovely spot for summer evenings or catching the warmth of the winter sun while enjoying the vistas. With a front yard great for outdoor games, there is also a children’s playground and large park just across the road. A large drying room provides storage for ski gear in winter and water gear in summer, along with the ease of a full laundry. The covered carport means no frosty windows in the morning and there is plenty of additional parking on site for a boat or extra vehicles.
Just a 5 minute walk above the lakefront and village centre supermarket, bars, restaurants, cafes and takeaway options. Also nearby is the Cairns Golf Course, canals for fishing and a myriad of walkways.

We loved staying at this perfect bach for us. It was a great base for exploring the surrounding ski fields. The bach was super warm, with heaters in each room plus a heat pump and a roaring fire! There was plenty of room for the 5 of us. Showers were great. Sunrises and sunsets even better. Kitchen and living area was so relaxing. We’d be back in a heartbeat.

We spent two wonderful nights at the cottage. It was spacious, clean, and well-appointed with all the necessary amenities. The property is also well-insulated and heated, making it cozy and comfortable even in cold weather. The wood-burning stove was a lovely touch, adding warmth and ambiance to our stay. Additionally, the cottage is conveniently located in a central area, with easy access to the supermarket and a variety of eateries, making it an ideal base for exploring the surrounding area.
