Quiet, secluded, iconic bush bach

Nestled amongst native beech forest, under the Southern Alps, beside the mighty Ahaura River sits the Safety Camp Creek bach; A unique bush hut with adequate conveniences for a relaxed New Zealand native bush experience. Situated 30Km from the Ahaura township with a stunning bush road drive. With abundant bird life and flora, bush road walks abound this little piece of paradise.

There is no electricity, fridge or cell phone reception at the bach, though reception can be obtained up the road. A cord is supplied for lights inside the bach to connect to a car battery
Due to bad experiences, only well behaved dogs allowed.
This is an area where we encourage native wildlife.



NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave; Bring your own linen (towels/sheets/tea towels);

Lovely Little Bush Bach
A well aged puzzle piece bach, in NZ forest, tucked down a dead end road. Surprising amount of traffic on the road during our stay. Neighbours were quite noisy also but the bach had everything we needed. Hot water for a shower was a bonus. The old Shacklock range is prone to smoking out the bach but I think we figured it out after a few days. Reliable cell service is back at the Orwell Creek Road turnoff, for those wondering. For a last minute booking, it worked out well and appreciate the good communication from Brent. Review by ‘All Others’.

Hidden gem
This was the cutest little property in such an amazing spot we LOVED it! Couldn't recommend this place enough and even better with having no power or cell service for a break from today's world. We didn't want to leave.

Great place in the bush
We really enjoyed our stay at the hut which is surrounded by native bush and next to a good sized stream. There was plenty of bird life, incuding regular visits by a couple of South Island robins and a big wood pigeon. Bell birds and Tuis often rang out nearby. Brent was a great host, friendly and accommodating. We were sad to leave, would absolutely stay again.
