63 Tinline Terrace

Just 3km off the Alpine Pacific Triangle (Inland Rd) is this lovingly designed log cabin built in 2001 using untreated Lawson Cypress logs with floors and ceilings made of Oregon T&G creating an authentic log cabin look and feel plus a naturally restive environment. There are three bedrooms with four sleeping areas. These are all upstairs and include two double rooms with their own balconies, one bunk room that sleeps 5 plus a sofa bed on the mezzanine area. For the more adventurous there is a star gazer outside sleeping a further two.

Open plan living downstairs with living/dining area just off the kitchen with a 7.2m high apex. The kitchen is very functional with wooden cabinetry and bench tops all in keeping with the log chalet look and feel. The heating is extremely efficient with a log burner on wet back (heating the water) and can also be used for fire top cooking. The log construction creates high insulation value and has under floor and ceiling insulation.

Set on 4006sqm (approx one acre) of land covered in manuka and regenerating beech and totara forest. 25 eucalyptus trees have been planted for firewood plus there is a 10sqm shed for storing all those bits and pieces. Water is sourced from the mountain spring.

De Kikker Vijver is well established as holiday accommodation. Current owners block the days they wish to use their chalet prior to renting it out.
