Lake and Mountain Views - excellent skiing, tramping, cycling and water sports
Ben Ohau Retreat is a luxury self contained holiday home, located on the shores of Lake Ohau close to the southern Alps in the tussock strewn MacKenzie country.

Nestled in the lee of the predominant Northwesterly winds it is not far to go to see lovely views of NZ's highest peak Mt Cook and also locally known as Aorangi. Tramping, mountain biking, lake and river fishing, skiing, bird watching, landscape painting and photography are at your doorstep.
