Stronechrubie

Nestled in the township of Mt Somers, Stronechrubie is where the Canterbury high country meets genuine Kiwi hospitality. Whether you’re after a peaceful rural retreat, ski accommodation near Mt Hutt or a base to explore Lord of the Rings country at Mt Sunday and the Ashburton Lakes  – we’d love to have you.

Set across three acres of landscaped grounds, our 8 Chalets provide a private and tranquil escape for couples, families and small groups. Thoughtfully positioned for comfort and privacy, they offer the perfect balance between rural charm and modern convenience.

In addition to accommodation, we also host weddings, functions and team retreats. Our team can tailor packages to suit your special occasion, ensuring every detail is taken care of. We’re also happy to help you plan local experiences and adventures- there are plenty of things to do in the area, including hunting, fishing, eco-tours and scenic helicopter flights. For assistance with your plans, please contact us and we’ll be delighted to help.

Sean, our award-winning Chef de Cuisine, brings extensive industry experience and a passion for showcasing classic New Zealand flavours. Our bistro restaurant offers relaxed, family-friendly dining with a modern twist on the Kiwi bistro experience. Using locally sourced ingredients such as lamb, beef, salmon and venison, every dish – including our desserts – is prepared in-house to ensure freshness and exceptional presentation.
