The Mai Mai

The Mai Mai is set on the same high country property as the famous Washpen Falls Walk. 

It is a 50-minute drive from Christchurch Airport, one hour from Christchurch City and 20 minutes from the Mt Hutt access road. It's perfectly positioned geographically for a stopover to or from Queenstown, Tekapo, West Coast and beyond. 

The Mai Mai gazes over calm waters and gentle rolling farmland. Wander across the bridge leading to your cosy hut. Inside, a comfortable living and sleeping area is warmed by a Roaring Meg fire, while the luxe bathroom showcases a double black corten steel shower that blends rustic touches with modern comfort.

Dining choices include indoor and outdoor bar leaners, a wooden outdoor table, and a cosy dinner nook beside your covered entertainers open-air kitchen. Soak up the sunshine on the deck or hop into the rowboat out on the pond (or even go for a dip!) Further along the waterside, a private outdoor bath sits on the edge of the pond.

At the Mai Mai, nature is always on full display - calm, wild and everything in between. You’re well equipped to take shelter from the elements, which enhances its wild charm!

Here, the sunrises paint the sky in tender hues, and as evening settles, the night lights create truly wonderful moments you'll remember long after your stay.
