About this house rental
This log chalet is simply a gem hidden in the quiet valley.
Ridgeway lodge is perfect romantic hideaway tucked away in a bush setting down a dead end road. The log chalet enjoys all day sun and offers beautiful mountain and hilltop views. Outdoor decks provide a haven for relaxation and listening to the abundant birdlife whilst soaking up the fresh mountain air.
The spacious indoor living area is a pleasure to relax in, with a cozy log fire, flat screen TV/DVD player. Enjoy the evenings all snug and cosy whilst listening to your favourite music or watching a movie; or soak up the warmth of the beautiful fire and simply relax and enjoy watching the flames and glowing embers.
The large kitchen is very well equipped, with a dishwasher, microwave, oven, stove top and large fridge / freezer.The bathroom has a large shower, toilet and a quirky stone vanity with rustic mirror.
A large master bedroom with queen sized bed sets the scene for concluding a great evening. The bedroom opens up to a balcony with a track to the garden. The second bedroom offers 2 single beds. The mezzanine is set up as a second lounge with a big TV screen/DVD player. The sofa here folds out to a double bed. This space opens up to a deck with magnificent views of the mountain.
NO EV-charging permitted as the electrical system is not wired up for this.
Enjoy walking, skiing or mountain biking or book a local sauna. There is plenty of space under the carport for hanging your ski or other sporting gear. Or just stay around the log chalet, relax or explore the hidden areas and find the river in the surrounding bush.
Note that bedlinens/towels are not standard included but can be arranged on request.

Nice location, house and view. Able to access the property and good kitchen facilities. Nice to have the fire to warm the place up. Weather was a bit cold and enclosed, so didn't really get to fully appreciate the offer.

Great little Bach surrounded by native forest and native birds!

We really enjoyed the space, being surrounded by nature and being able to switch off and spend quality family time

The apps prior to bringing us to Bookabach stated the location is within Hanmer Spring. Address is only given 3 days before departure with no cancellation fee thereafter. Address didn’t state explicitly it is not in Hanmer. In fact it is an hour away from Hanmer! Deceptive advert. Wall heater in the master bedroom is broken. Reported but no reply. House is ok except with no sheets supplied that is written on fine prints in the terms and condition attached in a pdf. All mattress covers were covered with tiny leaves sticking on it, weren’t look that clean. Overall stay was ok but not impressive. Sofa lounge on upstairs tv room is dusty, TV not working either.
