The Experience

Grand dimensions, complete privacy, and scenery that is quintessentially New Zealand — the chalet is yours, entirely, from the moment you arrive.

No shared spaces. No other guests. No interruptions. Whether you're here to ski, celebrate, gather generations of family, or simply disappear into the mountains for a few days — everything is in place for exactly the stay you have in mind.

🔒

Exclusively Yours

The entire chalet is reserved for your group alone. No other guests, no shared amenities — complete privacy from arrival to departure.

🏔️

Secluded Setting

Set within the Terrace Downs precinct with uninterrupted mountain views. The seclusion of the countryside, the proximity of world-class facilities.

✨

Your Rules, Your Pace

Arrive when you like, dine when you choose, sleep as late as you please. The chalet works entirely around your schedule.

Zen Sanctuary

Chromotherapy Bathhouse

Twin showers, twin vanities, toilet and an infinity bath with chromotherapy lighting, music and cascading water. Open the windows to birdsong and mountain air, or lie back and gaze at the stars on a clear Canterbury night. The most restorative room in the region.

Signature Feature

The Stone Fireplace

Double-sided, floor-to-ceiling river stone — warming the lounge and dining room simultaneously as snow-capped peaks fill every window.
