Sunny, Private Cottage in St Arnaud

This sunny, charming villa is nestled in native bush and only a short walk to Kerr Bay and all the secluded bays along the Peninsula Walkway.

The master bedroom features a brand new comfortable queen bed and the second bedroom has a new double. Two additional single beds are available on the landing. The bach includes plenty of off-street parking for cars and boat and plenty of lawn space for the kids to play. Enjoy fishing, swimming, tramping or just relaxing at Belmont.

St Arnaud cottage a gem
The St Arnaud cottage provided a welcoming base for exploring the Lake Rotoiti area. The house was clean and well equipped, we slept well in the peaceful surroundings. The location a short distance from lakeside trails was great. Definitely recommend.

Lovely cottage
Lovely little cottage, nice location, short stroll down to the lake, and village. Heat pump did a good job in the middle of winter to heat the house, would just recommend curtains for all windows as unfortunately it lets the cold in a lot. Really quaint though, with everything you need. Will be back again in summer.

Tranquil and cute
Very quaint and cosy. The property sleeps 6; a double bed in each of the upstairs bedrooms and two single beds on the landing in between the rooms. This landing is open to steep stairs so I wouldn't put small children or sleepwalkers in those beds. Also, whomever sleeps there will be needing a torch and is likely to be disturbed by anyone coming and going from the bedrooms. With that in mind, the house is really lovely and comfortable. Beech trees full of birdsong all around and beautiful walks all around.

First visit to St. Arnaud
The Belmont cottage was a pleasant surprise. It has the location, a short stroll to the lake, and a cosy feel. You get the morning sun in the kitchen. You can actually sip your coffee while watching the sun rise over the St. Arnaud range. We enjoyed family time without WiFi too.

Such a sweet house in a great spot near town. Easy walk to the lodge and lake. Simple, but homely and comfortable, and the heat pump did a great job of warming downstairs. Would definitely stay again.

Very nice bach. Just a note about the 2nd bed, mattress uncomfortable. One of the occupants with a bad back ended up sleeping in the single bed. Maybe time to upgrade?
