Peaceful solitude
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay surrounded by blooming manuka and blissful quiet. The cabin was ideal. Two cautions: nearby hikes are on private property and incur hefty fees for each visit, and extra fees for linen are charged per person and seemed on the high side.

Thank you for staying. Re linen charge: we do not get commercial linen delivered here so the current price is cost price. Therefore we always offer guests in the booking email the option to bring their own and save this cost.

Great weekend!
Amazing views and vistas from this property, one of the holiday homes furthest up the hill and in full sun. We were super cosy with fire and had everything we needed. Highly recommend.

Fantastic place
We had the most amazing relaxing weekend. Got incredibly lucky with the first big snowfall for the season too. Only thing missing was a hot tub 😅 Warm, comfortable accommodations, well laid out. Great location for exploring the area.

Mount Lyford 3 day Stay
The accommodation was pleasant. We loved the log cabin and the vintage LPs. The views are gorgeous too. The Irina Track was a real nice walk. It would have been useful to be clear as to what we can and can't do around the complex. The agency was flexible with our arrival and departure given the delay we experienced due to our cancelled ferry. We enjoyed a trip to Hanmer Springs 1 hour away from Mt Lyford. Overall we had 3 pleasant and quiet days.

Log Cabin joy
We loved staying at this bach. It was a spur of the moment booking and it was a fantastic experience. We'd definitely come back with more time to explore the area.

Great views and cosy house
This is a great place to get some place and enjoy reading a book by the fire. Professional checkin process, while still being friendly and flexible

Great communication
We sadly didn't get to visit Mt Lyford due to the Covid 19 level 4 restrictions. We were so disappointed that we had to cancel but Claudine was very understanding. Communication with Claudine was very easy and quick. We can't wait to visit soon

Lovely stay, wonderful view.
Loved the property. It's worth noting there is no fire guard. The booking process was very tricky through book a bach as I had to download an app to find the property address and it was difficult to communicate with property owner. Cheaper towns probably easier to book through Mt Lyford holiday homes- which would circumvent above issues.

Great holiday
Great holiday - But the room downstairs is cold as no heater and when you close the door the heat from fire doesn't enter the room. So very hot bedrooms upstairs and cold bedroom downstairs. Otherwise really lovely place to stay and enjoy the area

Mountain magic
We absolutely loved our stay in Mt Lyford and are already wanting to plan a next trip. The house is beautiful and the scenery is just magical- the photos don't do it justice! Have already passed recommendations on to whanau. Thank you so much can't rate highly enough!
