    Great little spot when exploring Arthur’s Pass. Lovely hosts, good amount of cooking gear and overall a homey living room. We also loved the added games too - felt like childhood all over again playing tiddlywinks, mastermind and monopoly!

    We had such an incredible time staying at the Dew Drop Inn, only wished we’d booked for longer! Rochelle is a lovely host and the cottage is gorgeous, it’s really cool that’s it’s been so well preserved. A real highlight was sitting by the fire...

    Excellent host Rochelle came down from the main house to welcome us when she saw us drive in, offering great tips on activities in- and outside the property in light of the (rainy) weather forecast. Of the numerous board games available, Klondike,...

    Really well maintained and clean. Location was awesome across the road from the Bealey Hotel. Despite being roadside the traffic noise wasn’t too bad.

The Dew Drop Inn is a telegraph office dating from the 1865 gold rush days; Iater becoming a temporary bar, hence its intriguing name. Rustic, full of character and old-school "homely' - this beaut wee cottage lets you escape life for a while. Whether you're walking Bealey Spur, climbing Avalanche Peak, or training for the Coast to Coast - pull out the board games, light the fire and delve into history by night. ROAD NOISE IS TO BE EXPECTED - THE COTTAGE IS WITHIN 3M OF THE HIGHWAY... but conveniently across the road is the Bealey Hotel Bar and Restaurant.
GREETINGS FELLOW TRAVELLERS - Rochelle and Woody here, and we know our backyard very well. We are extremely passionate about the great outdoors, travel and wilderness - whether mountaineering, skiing, trekking, hunting, fishing, exploring some distant corner of the globe, cycle touring, motorcycle racing or taking photographs - the anticipation of heading away somewhere keeps us enthusiastic about life, and eager for more! We welcome you to our little corner of the world.....
Bealey, and surrounding Arthur's Pass National Park, are a hikers paradise. Short walks, day hikes and overnight adventures are within a short drive from here. The Devil's Punchbowl waterfall is a must, as is a cafe stop in the village. Going underground at Cave Stream, rock climbing at Castle Hill or mountain biking at Castle Hill are all truly exceptional. Full day walks like Bealey Spur and the more committing Avalanche Peak are beautifully scenic, and for the more adventurous - overnighting in a back country hut is purely magical. No matter what your level of adventure is, we can point you in the right direction and ensure you get the most from your visit... and after a hard days exploring, you can pop on over to the Bealey Hotel to quench your thirst and suppress your appetite, should you choose not to dine in.
