Come to experience the stunning Lake Clearwater, South Island.

Our charming bach is the perfect place to disconnect, relax and recharge with your friends and family while enjoying the spectacular outdoors the New Zealand Alps have to offer.

A bach stay the way you want it.

  • Great South Island outdoors at our doorstep.

    Explore the hiking and mountain biking trails around the lake. With varied routes, breathtaking panoramas, and preserved nature, these activities are perfect for nature enthusiasts and adventurers.

    Bring your binoculars and camera to capture the local wildlife in their natural habitat, along with the breathtaking landscapes of the surrounding mountains.

    One of the key Lord of the Rings filming locations is a short drive away.

    Note: We offer our guests 2 bikes.

  • Wind and water sports on the Lake.

    Take advantage of the consistent winds for an exhilarating wind/kite/foiling session. Lake Clearwater is famous locally as the seasonal base of Christchurch windsports enthusiasts. Whether you are a beginner or an expert, the conditions are perfect for navigating this picturesque lake.

    Paddle/go fishing on the lake in a kayak or canoe. It's a serene and enjoyable way to explore the surroundings while appreciating the natural beauty of the area, and maybe even getting a dinner!

    There is a second Camp Lake dedicate to motor sports - powerboats, wake, jetskis are welcome here.

    Note: Bring your own gear.

  • Classic Kiwi bach experience - fully self-sufficient and sustainable.

    A big part of the appeal of Lake Clearwater is its natural beauty and village atmosphere. We are completely off-grid – and have been environmentally conscious since long before it became fashionable.

    With continuous upgrades, we have tried to make your stay as comfortable as possible, however - this is still a simple, adventurous experience.

    Note: There is now mobile coverage up at Lake Clearwater plus local WiFi tower (you can purchase daily or weekly access).
