Discover Funky Bunky: Your Rustic Retreat 5 Min from Nelson

Ideal for romantic couples, solo travelers, or friends seeking lake views, fresh mountain air, and a cozy place to reconnect.

Sleeping: Queen bed in the loft (ladder access) + double futon on the main floor.
No TV, but Wi-Fi is available.

Wander into the easy-access forest below the property and relax in the hammock—perfect for reading, cuddling, or unwinding with your pup nearby.

Motorcycle trip

Great little place to stay during our motorcycle trip through the area. Amenities were clean and well stocked. As long as people are aware of what you’re getting and the fact that the bathroom, kitchen is separate etc. it was really cute and super fun. Felt like camping, but without having to lug any of the gear and a much more comfortable place to sleep. Just what we were looking for.
