Area Highlight

Gunyah Country Lodge is a wonderful base for many activities and attractions. In less than 30 minutes you can feel the crunch of snow under your skis at Mount Hutt Skifield, or see your fishing rod tighten with the tug of a high country salmon.

Breakfast Included

Breakfast is a most pleasurable occasion, be it on the sun-soaked verandah in summer time, or in the cosy library for that private weekend away. In winter time, breakfast in front of a cheerful fire offers a warm and hearty start to the day.

Our Location

Only a forty five minute drive from Christchurch International Airport, it lies on the main routes to the West Coast, Mt Cook and Queenstown, on the Inland Scenic Route 72

Views

All rooms are light, warm and sunny and have distinctly different views of the alps, the hills and the surrounding countryside.
