TopHouse is a historic guesthouse ( b. 1887) and is made from cob. Having been established as a guesthouse in 1887 for drovers and stage coach travellers it has retained it's old wordly charm while offering more modern comforts. 5 rooms in the guesthouse accomodate 10 guests. Our long dining table ( built in the room), huge open fire, and New Zealands smallest pub make TopHouse a unique boutique accommodation to stay in. Guests share the bathrooms down the hallway. Should you consider this a bit rough, let
's remember that there were no bathrooms and indoor toilets in the house for 100 years. However if you do prefer your own private facilities then our mountain view chalets on the property are the place to stay! TopHouse is located on a 25 acre farm, off the beaten track yet
close to St Arnaud ( 8km) and the serene alpine lake of Lake Rotoiti. Looking for peace and quiet or looking for adventure there is a multitude of things to do in the area ( hiking, walks, boating, mountain biking, fly fishing, 4 WD tracks, bird watching, stargazing
We are 1 hrs drive south from Nelson, 1 hr 15 mins from Blenheim and Picton, 1 hr 30 mins from the Abel Tasman National Park and 1 hr 30 mins to the west coast. Make TopHouse your next destination for a home away from home.
