Open for bookings for a couple of months our -

The Sawdon Station Allanvilla Farm Cottage is a family friendly, rural hideaway. It is our staff house normally, and we are opening for a couple of months between staff members.

Cute cosy cottage offers spectacular views out over the farm and to the southern alps. A real high country experience.

Whether you are after a relaxing get away or fun filled adventure, we would love to accommodate you.

The cosy cottage stays warm and cosy in winter with the great log fire(and heat pump) and is a sun trap in summer.

This cottage is very retro, and a kiwi bach (older).

We have a maximum of 4 adults for this cottage. Full tea, coffee and sugar supplied, but no milk. Just need to bring your clothing, and food.

We received a BRONZE award for the Golden Piwa Awards for best child friendly Bach. Thank you for nominations - please read our excellent reviews/guest comments. We love to show you around our piece of paradise.

Have a long weekend, in front of the fire, watching movies and reading books, or skating, tubing and hot pools with the kids. Summer months enjoy some extra days walking, cycling, or just spending time with family.

For January and July School Holidays only taking 4 night minimum bookings so that we can spend time with our family over these school holidays.

Close to Lake Tekapo, with its excellent hot pools, skating in winter, the night sky, the lake for swimming, boat cruising, and fishing. Walking to the top of Mt John for the best cafe in the world, and the best Japanese restaurant in the country! In the winter, two ski fields one (Roundhill) 30 minutes from the cottage, and the other (Mt Dobson) 40 minutes.

Please note the following as booking:
Please ensure as you book you let me know and actual numbers staying, so I can give you the correct price per night.

Special conditions:
