Built in the 1930's for the daughter of Duncan Rutherford, a prominent early settler, this gracious residence has been fully restored to incorporate six sunny, spacious suites, creating elegant bed & breakfast accommodation.

Set on extensive grounds, just 2 minutes stroll from the iconic Thermal Pools & Spa, restaurants & forest walks, Cheltenham House is an ideal base from which to explore this picturesque alpine village.

The house still boasts the original rimu paneled billiard room, complete with full size billiard table, open fire & 1904 upright grand piano. Heating for the house is by the original cast iron, hot water radiators, a luxury for a New Zealand house of this vintage. Guests' accommodation is spacious & private, with every need anticipated.

Lazy mornings are a specialty here, with a wide choice of gourmet breakfast served in the privacy of your own suite. You are invited to join your hosts & other guests for complimentary wines in the evening before wandering off to one the many fine restaurants. Len and Maree also have a luxury four bedroom, three bathroom, off-site apartment available within the village centre.
