Step back in time & experience the charm of a true old-fashioned lakeside bach — where simplicity, warmth, & nature meet. This traditional retreat aptly named 'Lynfa', meaning 'place of the lake' in Welsh, offers everything you need for an authentic off-grid getaway. With the chance to secure a coveted bach on leasehold land in the ever-tranquil setting of Lake Alexandrina South a true rarity, this is a unique opportunity you will want to pursue.
With its charm, stunningly beautiful surrounds & the song of birds, life slows down here. Mornings are spent with coffee overlooking the lake, days filled with swims, fishing, & fresh air, & evenings warmed by the crackle of the range.
Near the far end of the settlement, this traditional bach, built in 1958, features low maintenance corrugated iron cladding & aluminium window frames. Inside, the open-plan living area is warm & inviting, with a classic coal range. Two well-sized bedrooms provide restful spaces to retreat, while the simplicity of an outdoor bathroom featuring a shower, flushing toilet & a generator, accessible via a concrete pathway, brings you closer to nature - perfect for those craving a more authentic, back-to-basics experience.
The coal range is equipped with a wetback, keeping the bach cosy while heating your hot water the old-fashioned way. A gas fridge keeps your supplies chilled, and when you need a little extra comfort, a 100-litre diesel 5KVA generator provides power at the flick of a switch.
If you are looking for a genuine lakeside escape — simple, peaceful, and full of nostalgia — this timeless bach invites you to experience lake living as it once was. Just 5kms from the Lake Tekapo centre, Lake Alexandrina South, with its finite number of huts, is truly a very special retreat … this could be your perfect weekend hideaway.
