Grand in Scale.
Entirely Private.
Seven bedrooms, a chromotherapy bathhouse, a double-sided stone fireplace, a professional kitchen — and views that stop every guest mid-sentence.
Perfectly Placed
A scenic 60-minute drive from Christchurch International Airport, Yuki's Chalet sits within the Fable Terrace Downs Resort precinct — 30 minutes from Methven and 45 minutes from Mt Hutt Ski Field.
"The views are absolutely stunning — the majestic mountain with clouds hanging over it like a tablecloth reminded us of Table Mountain in South Africa."Natasha, December 2025
