About this Holiday House

BOOKINGS FOR SUMMER 25/26 WILL OPEN AT THE BEGINNING OF OCTOBER. Shepherds Creek cottage is a remote high country station destination. Situated on Peak Valley Station, the lower boundary is Lake Benmore and Totara Peak skyline on the Benmore Range our upper. A dream destination for mountain bikers, boaties, fishermen, walkers and horse riders. It is OFF-GRID and RUSTIC but still has all the necessary comforts for your 'away from it all holiday' away. Please note the configuration of the beds in the cottage is 2 queen beds and 2 single beds, total 6 beds. While there is NO CELL COVERAGE at the homestead, you can get reception a short distance away. Access to the lake is a short drive or walk away with good boat access - about 1km. There are numerous tracks for mountain bikers to explore and of course fishing Lake Benmore is legendary. Twizel is our nearest town center. Although only 35kms away our access is a rough road, so slower going. It takes approximately 45 minutes to drive from Twizel to Peak Valley Station. Sturdy tyres are advised.

Simeon Whyle
Highly recommend. Shirley and Ken are wonderful, the cottage is cozy with the fire on, and the location is sublime. Reading a book on the deck as the afternoon sun streams in with a nice drink in hand and the view of the lake before you is hard to beat!
Grant Harrex
Lovely cottage. Has everything. Fantastic location. Great hosts.
Ed Morgan
My second stay at this remarkable location with 5 stars reflecting the overall ambience of house and location. It is for the adventurous who don’t need all the comforts. The house is warm, quiet, well situated for views, and relaxing to stay in. I took my wife this year and she is already planning a next trip. I plan to return in 2026!
Response from Owner
Thank you Ed. I am sorry I didn't get to see you but the weekend slipped away doing farm jobs. Glad you had a nice time. Cheers.
