About this house rental
Ben Ohau High Country Merino Sheep Station Cottage is a working farm nestled at the foot of the Ben Ohau Mountain Range just 6 minutes from the township of Twizel. The cottage has been built with incredible views just for you.
This is an amazing wee cottage and although we have bunks and can have 3 people staying it is much better suited for 2 people.
You will have this quaint cottage all to yourself.
Ben Ohau has an incredible history that the owners are keen to share with guests. The farming history is extensive and fascinating but the property has also used in recent years as a film set! For any LOTR fans your hosts can provide you with an exclusive tour of these sites and even share their own experience of being a ork. Please let us know at the time of booking if you would like to have a tour.
We have a strict 10am check out policy to allow us to clean and prepare the for our next guests. Unless you have discussed a late check out with us prior to your booking a fee imposed for check out's after 10am.

We absolutely loved our stay at Hill Cottage. Sitting on the sunny verandah in the peaceful surrounds with a great view was very enjoyable. The starry sky at night was amazing! It was also a great base for exploring the area, including Mt Cook, and a super easy short drive to town for supplies or meals. We would highly recommend a visit!

Loved the outlook, and being so close to Twizel! It meant after a long day socialising we could wind down. Just beautiful! Would recommend having a clothes horse as we hung our clothes around the rooms as the clothes line was in shadow at the end of the day. But it was no biggie and I'm sure if we had have asked the hosts would have provided something, they were also just super lovely and accommodating!

A country haven!
We had this as our base to explore the region. So this was a comfortable haven to come home to.
Very private. Prestine. Lovely property and land to explore. Hosts were really lovely.

Magical MacKenzie Country Cottage
So handy to Twizel and Alps to Ocean Cycle Trail yet far away enough to have a high country experience. The site is elevated so there are fabulous photo ops from every window - possibly the best loo view I have ever seen! The deck is handy for sunrise and sunset viewing. A lot of care has gone into furnishing and there are nice personal touches like books and artworks of the MacKenzie Country. Excellent base for exploring the area and having a very well equipped kitchen and laundry means it is fully self contained - we didn't need to eat out. Exceeded expectations and highly recommended.
