Boasting garden views, Pyke Cottage, Clyde offers accommodation with barbecue facilities and a patio, around 24 km from Central Otago District Council. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The property offers bike hire and features a garden and outdoor fireplace. Pyke Cottage is in a convenient location in historic Clyde, within walking distance to great places to eat (Oliver’s; Three Peaks Coffee) and the beautiful Clutha River. The host, Peter, is super friendly and welcoming and makes you feel right at home, but leaves you to your privacy. The bed was really comfortable and the air conditioning was a welcome amenity on a hot Central Otago night. We had a great stay and can highly recommend the cottage for a couple or solo traveller!
