Description
Lake Heron Cottage is situated on a large high country sheep station two hours drive from Christchurch. The cottage, nearby farm buildings and homestead sit in a large inter-montane basin beside Lake Heron. The basin is surrounded by tussock covered hills and spectacular mountains. Lake Heron is a wildlife refuge and is home to a wide variety of birdlife, including the rare Southern Crested Grebe.
Dating back to 1900, the cottage has been well maintained to provide comfortable, self-contained accommodation for families and outdoor enthusiasts. The cottage comfortably sleeps eight people in four separate bedrooms. The kitchen/living room has an open fire and there is even a bath under the stars!
Guests have easy access to spectacular walks and day tramps, trout fishing, mountain biking, bird watching and relaxing. Guests may use some of the station's four-wheel drive tracks to explore the remoter parts of the property. A small rowboat is available for use on Lake Heron. Lake Heron Station also has 2 well-appointed station huts available for day or overnight stays.

“Our stay at the cottage on Lake Heron Station was one of the highlights of a month in New Zealand. The peace and quiet broken only by birdsong, and the sounds (and sights) of the sheep on a working sheep station. Lovely house, very comfortable,with a wood burning fireplace for cold evenings, and great hiking into the high country. The pine trees behind the house are full of birds singing, and the views of the hills beyond are wonderful. A great bath for soaking outside too.. Not to be missed.
