Fiery Peak Eco-Retreat: Our new luxury couple accommodation: purpose-built as something special for a romantic, private, pampered escape with wood-fired hot tub.

Luxury off-grid cabin with amazing views. Gaze at the mountains from the king bed, take a long soak in the woodfired hot tub, scan a sky full of stars, listen to birdsong, BBQ on the deck watching the sun go down & ducks fly home, dip in our spring-fed pool. 10 mins mountain-side of Geraldine. “No-rush” noon check-out. Book at least two nights to fully relax, recharge your soul & reconnect with your partner. The wood-fired hot tub can be booked as an extra $60 for 1st night, $80 for 2nd or 3rd.

Built in 2022, Fiery Peak Chalet 66 sqm has been designed with the environment in mind. Powered by the sun, supplied with our own pristine spring water (UV filtered, unchlorinated), set amongst 12 acres of trees: this beautiful open-plan chalet looks out across farmland to the mountains. Your time at the chalet will allow you to step out of your busy life for a couple of nights.

Gaze at the mountains from the king bed through open bi-fold windows, take a long soak in the handcrafted (Lignum) woodfired hot tub, gaze at the splendour of a sky full of stars, listen to bird song, BBQ your dinner on the deck while you watch the sun go down behind Fiery Peak, linger while the sky changes colour and ducks fly home for the night, recharge your soul.

If you have time, there's a lot to do in and around Geraldine using Fiery Peak as a base for a 2 or 3 night stay:

Take a day trip to Peel Forest (Horse treks, bush walks), Lake Tekapo (ice-skating, snow tubing, hot pools), Mt Cook (Hooker Valley, Sealy Tarn walks), Mt Sunday (Lord of the Rings film site), book an evening 2hr tour of the night sky at Geraldine Observatory, OR just relax in the cottage beside the fire with a book with no one to bother you, popping into Geraldine to check out Barker's new cafe and food store or other restaurants/ Geraldine cheese factory-shop.

BBQ: We have a Weber BBQ for guests to use. It is just gorgeous sitting outside enjoying the evening, cooking, dining and wining with the back-drop of the mountains.

LATE CHECK-OUT: Because I hate to rush when I am away on holiday, at Fiery Peak Cottage you can stay till mid-day if your schedule allows. So wake up, relax, enjoy the morning coffee and cooked breakfast before heading away. Check out anytime up to noon.

If you need anything to eat.. there are some lovely restaurants & cafes to choose from in Geraldine, just 8 mins drive away. Alternatively and possibly better, grab a cooked chicken, selection of salads and bottle of wine from the local supermarket and make the most of your time to relax at the cottage. Takeaways also available from Royal India, Q Foods, or Jack’s Chinese Takeaway/Fish and Chips.

Guests say that the night sky at Fiery Peak is as good as Tekapo. With the telescope provided, you can check out the evening sky from the deck of the cottage or book with Peter at the Geraldine Observatory for a comprehensive 2-hour tour of the night sky.

Our 12-acre rural property sits in full view of the stunning Four Peaks of South Canterbury. Secluded & private. Solar-powered with low impact on the environment. With our own pristine spring water, extraordinary birdlife, forest, and star filled skies – it is an unique experience you will not quickly forget.
