Our inviting, authentic rustic log cabin was built in 1994. As you open the door, she welcomes you with her sweet Lawson Cypress log scent.
The MatchBox is rustic, with a log burner in the living room and stunning elevated views of Lake Brunner from the front porch and second story main bedroom. Nothing like waking up to a view of the snow topped mountain peaks or that glassy lake calling you out for a ride on the jet ski or boat.

Main bedroom upstairs: 1 queen bed
Loft room: 2 single beds

In a secure cul-de-sac, away from the main street, with ample on street parking. Plenty of parking up the drive as well.
Enjoy the authentic and rustic feel with the firepit out front. Light up a fire in your own little piece of the forest, sit back and enjoy the indigenous bird song. You may even get a glimpse of our regular visiting jungle chicken (Weka) Michael.
Nestled in the trees not far from the lake where you can enjoy fishing of brown and rainbow trout.
There are great local activities including tamping, biking and hiking.
No boats or jet ski tailers permitted up the drive.

Pleasantly surprised to have a full water tank after the warnings. Coffee lovers take note if you’re bringing Pods: the machine is a Nespresso, not a Nescafé as listed. There were 2 plungers, though." - "Loved every minute staying there as the whole atmosphere was awesome, the smell and the look and feel of the batch was so welcoming and homely.

Very suitable for two families. Lots to do." - "A great family stay in bush-clad surrounds - the holiday home had everything we needed. Thanks for sharing it!" - "The house was well presented in a good location. Good amenities and space for couples. Two out of the three couples we were with did mention that the beds were quite uncomfortable and it was hard to have a good nights sleep. So it could be worth checking the mattresses. Also it was quite a late check in time considered it is winter, when we arrived we all needed a hot shower due to being out on the river all day but still had to wait for the hot water cylinder to heat up after arriving at 4pm. That would be something to take into consideration. Would definitely stay again though, it served us really well. Thank you!"

The space
Settled in the middle of the west coast bush "The hut" has had to withhold the rough coastal weather.
This tiny house was originally built 1986 by a couple of hippies, so it's a real tiny house. After they moved out it was used as a schoolhouse (correspondence school). There are many stories to be told if you are interested, but only if you want.
If you are keen to be set back in time and live the simple life for a couple of nights, then this is perfect! There is no power, no wifi and no cellphone reception. And that is a good thing! Enjoy the peace and quiet, go visit the glow worms 10m from the hut and stare at the amazing stars of the Southern Hemisphere - guaranteed no light pollution! If it gets cold in the evening you can light the fire and cuddle up on the couch, play some cards or just talk.
There is a solar heated shower in the bush just behind the hut and a porter potty. But you are more than welcome to use the shower and toilet up at the main house.
Lake Moana (Brunner) is a 20min drive away. There are also tracks going round our section with majestic native trees, streams, birds - the real west coast rain forest.
Please note the this is not a 5* hotel, it's a hut in the bush with all it's terms and conditions: there are birds, possums, spiders, insects, rats, sandflies and everything else that lives in the bush. The hut is cleaned after every guest, the bedding and towels washed, but it is not a sterile environment, so please don't expect it to be.
Consider it more as "glamping" than a holiday house.
Located 5 mins from Lake Brunner/Moana and 25 mins from Greymouth. Lovely self contained unit in a rural setting with views of paddocks, native bush and mountains. Close to excellent fishing.
The unit has:
