Mossburn 40 mins, Riverton 45 mins, Te Anau 75 mins, Queenstown 120ms The space Our character filled hut has been painstaking crafted by local tradespeople from the Ohai area. The Shepherd's Hut sits on its own 1/4 acre section, which you will have full use of. Please note we do not have wifi available. However, there is mobile phone reception at the hut. There is a lot of bird life in Ohai, you will often see tui and kereru at different times of the year, depending on what's on their menu! The hut has a partially covered porch, and easy steps up to the hut. Open up the French doors, and sit on the deck with views over the village to the Takitimu mountains. Winter time is the perfect time to enjoy the hut, snuggle up in front of the fire, and enjoy the views of the snowy mountains. Inside, the hut is decked out in calming greens and soothing blues, creating a calming space. There is a very comfortable queen bed, with super size pull out drawers underneath the bed for storage. Even the handles have been specially designed to fit in with the character of the hut. A bench bar with stools makes a great spot to enjoy meals while looking across the township to the mountains. This table top has been created from recycled rimu and resin, inset with local river stones. A pantry cupboard will store all your food supplies, while the right hand cupboard has a rail with hangers for jackets. There is a gas hob for cooking, also a mini oven/air fryer is stored under the sink. A bar fridge with a small ice box completes the kitchen. An upcycled door opens into the quirky bathroom which boasts a very generously sized shower, complete with hand made copper rainhead and regular flush toilet. The arched window was from a local convent, and ties in beautifully with the curved roof lines. Enjoy the big, open skies of Ohai, and the glorious sunsets. If you are up in the wee hours, make sure to look towards the south (above the sink window) and you might see the Southern Lights (aurora). The stars are stunning on a clear night. Some pantry basics are provided, along with tea and coffee. We also have a little cafe in Ohai; Coal and Cream. They are open most days, on the corner of James St and Birchwood Roads. The nearest supermarket is the 4 Square at Nightcaps, so please make sure you bring provisions. They also sell hot food, great burgers and coffee. Ohai is centrally located in Western Southland, and is a great spot to explore Fiordland from, being only one hour to Manapouri. We highly recommend the Doubtful Sound trip which runs from Manapouri, this trip is on a par with Milford Sound, and less busy. Book through Real Journeys. 45 minutes to the beach and cafes at Riverton, another short 10 minutes drive to Gemstone Beach, with the award winning Orepuki Cafe nearby. 60 mins to Invercargill 2 hours to Queenstown Enjoy your stay at our hut, we are proud to share this special space with you.

Other things to note The hut is on its own 1/4 acre section, but there are neighbours both sides of the property. The hut can shake a bit in the wind, but its on a very heavy steel trailer so won't move.
