About this property
Backcountry hut with a modern twist
Take in the lake and mountain views while you sit back and enjoy the comforts of this new architecturally designed home.
Relax by the fire while you unwind and take in the back country hut feeling with a modern twist. Enjoy the Mackenzie country with bush walks, mountain biking, fishing and of course the Ohau ski field, just 20 minutes from the house.
The property is perfect for a weekend away with family and friends or a romantic getaway for two.
The main house has one queen size bed, plus kitchen, living and bathroom (including bath). The second hut has two queen beds and two single bed bunks, along with a shared bathroom and large shower.
You can book both huts or just the main hut if there are only two of you.

About the host
Hosted by Pieter
Our family has been camping at Lake Middleton (the lake you can see from the bedrooms) every summer for around 60 years. Ivan and Betty Bulling (my grandparents) started the tradition and my extended family continues to meet here every year.
Ivan established a furniture business (Ivan Bulling Furniture, based in Invercargill). My father and uncle continue to run this business and most of the (somewhat mismatched) furniture has come from the Ivan Bulling factory. The kitchen was designed by my cousin and brought to life and installed by my father and uncle. The oak vanities are made from a tree cut down by Ivan in Athol many years ago. You will see a photo of him on the photo board in the house, standing beside the tree.
Piet’s Place contains a lot of my cycling memorabilia (please respect these items) and Charlie’s Hut is named after my red fox Labrador, Charlie.
