Pip and Kevin Berkett

The apartment is modern , warm and spacious. Guests can self cater but breakfast is available on request and for an extra charge. I am available if guests need advice or have any special requests. Guests have full use of the garden and can easily access the many short walks which start outside the garden gates. This is a quiet property on a no exit street. Bird song is magnificant and the view from the apartment is stunning. Lake Rotoiti is a short walk away as is the local store, cafe and restaurant/bar.

Kevin and I have holidayed in our home here for many years. When we retired it made sense to spend all our time in this beautiful place. We love the outdoors and so enjoy meeting guests who appreciate what we have to offer . Hiking, watersports, fishing, mountain biking and skiing are activities we enjoy. Finn our young cocker spaniel loves being close to the mountains too. He likes nothing more than long walks(runs) close by. He love meeting new people as well.

St Arnaud/Lake Rotoiti is becoming a must visit wee corner of the south Island NZ. Simply sitting by the lake side is a nice experience but there is plenty to keep active people well amused. The silence, birdsong and vistas are highlights. St Arnaud is an easy drive from Nelson, Blenheim and Murchison.
