Kahu Cottage with Hot Tub

Kahu Cottage has a fabulous cedar clad, double stainless steel hot tub set in beautiful garden surroundings. Relax under the clear night sky; watch the Milky Way rise overhead, look for falling stars and follow satellites across the night sky.

Kahu Cottage is named after New Zealand's native Harrier Hawk, we have several resident Kahu who have territory above the cottages, you may see them soaring on the thermals high above or flying their daily circuit- which includes sweeping over the farmland behind the cottages and the river in front- for prey. Listen for their high pitched plaintive call to locate them in the sky. You may also see them being chased by the noisy local magpies & plovers.

Twizel is the heart of the Mackenzie High Country and the cottages are a perfect base for guests to explore the fabulous Mackenzie Basin and enjoy the great outdoors. With five large lakes, numerous rivers and several dozen kilometres of turquoise blue canals within a 50km radius, there's plenty of places to enjoy your favourite watersport or fish for that trophy trout or salmon.
