Property Description
Top Shelf, located at the top end of Mt Lyford village, offers fantastic mountain views in every direction. This basic log cabin receives all day sun and is a tranquil getaway for a family or couple. The living area, heated by a cosy log fire, is furnished and has comfy bean bags to relax in. The dining area seats 5 and the kitchen is well equipped to provide a good holiday meal. Downstairs is a shower and the spiral staircase leads to the upper floor bathroom and toilet. The master bedroom has a queen bed and the mezzanine floor has 3 single beds. The rimu ceiling and exposed wooden beams provide a warm natural ambiance.
A large deck opens up from the mezzanine floor with great views of Mt Lyford, perfect for star gazing at night. Listen to the bell birds while having a picnic on the lawn sheltered by a pocket of native bush. The lounge room wall is dotted with climbing grips to practise your bouldering skills.

Great weekend away / fire ++
Such a nice weekend away , slow paced and enjoyed being in the mountains. The home was perfect including a fire which we had on for nearly the entire time. There is internet there / 3G/4G. Nice wee walks around perfect for young kids w a little playground.

The scenery was beautiful. The cabin itself was run down and needs a spring clean. It’s not good value for money -we were disappointed in how little love has gone into the place.
