About this property
Rabbit Ranch Burkes Pass Gateway to Tekapo and the Mackenzie District
- Cosy cottage at the start of Burkes Pass in a rural setting, surrounded by the foothills of the two thumb range, 15 mins from Lake Tekapo to the West and Fairlie to the East. The cottage has a minimum 3 night stay with a special weekly rate . Beautiful dark night sky which can be viewed even better with a short stroll up Rollesby Valley due to no streetlights or light from the Burkes Pass settlement .
Located a short drive, between the boutique ski fields of Mount Dobson and Roundhill.
Enjoy a full kitchen, spacious lounge with large corner sofa, tv, heating, full laundry with washing line and a deck with a weber BBQ for outdoor cooking.
We are right beside the tourist attraction of Three Creeks, filled with interesting old American memorabilia, shops and a delicious coffee cart with snacks and South Islands famous cheese Rolls.
Rabbit Ranch is in a fabulous location.
