An overnight experience we will never forget. Value for money, cute and quirky, we had our family split between two cha

Quirky, cosy, fun little cottages, Good kitchens despite being small. We heated soup, toasted bread, stored food in the bar sized fridges for breakfast. Great pool for a cold plunge in winter!

Nothing, it was lots of fun

An awesome location to get away from the crowd but still not too far from Wanaka

An absolutely awesome location on the edge of a national park

There’s no café open in a close proximity.

disappointing, won't be back

bed, bathroom

reception service, places to put bags/clothes hang up clothing, suitable area to make toast etc. unit was dark, appreciated bush but cold and unwelcoming, couldn't park close enough to unit ,access along narrow path and all our gear had to be removed from our vehicle for security reasons

Doesn’t worth the money

Location is amazing, very close to Mount Aspiring National park. Small kitchen in wooden house was very clean, as well as the linens, dishes and cutlery.

Be careful there is NO bathroom in the house, just shared one outside! But the price is like for a good hotel. And a lot of send flys during the night.

We were concerned with the room locks when our neighbours key unlocked our unit door.

Good location, great views but location needs some care and attention.

Good location. Spectacular views.

truly magical

we were first in lodge 3 but then moved to lodge 1 on the 2nd day and it was truly amazing! the view out of lodge 1 was so beautiful and the room was cute and cosy too. wen truly enjoyed our stay.

i think that there could be wifi in the rooms as well. but it did workout well for us as it allowed us to spend more time with each other and away from the devices. but having wifi in the rooms could be useful for other stuff. just something to think about

Superb

The unti was warm and spacious.

I thought the unit I booked had a stovetop, but it had a kitchenette only so we were not able to cook in the unit itself (but there was a shared kitchen nearby)

relaxing and adventurous

the room was very nice. the bed was comfortable, and the heating was very good.

Everything was very nice, but it would have been nice if the kitchen had cooking oil.

Beautiful surroundings, okay accomodation

A beautiful setting close to some stunning lakes and near to the blue pools (which we can't recommend enough!). Worth noting that the setting for this lodge is stunning, but it is about 1 hour's drive away from the nearest town with facilities (which is very cute). In hindsight we would probably have only stayed here one night and had another closer to Wanaka, but that is very much personal preference. The reception was never staffed while we were there, but staff responded promptly to a message about the cold room and provided us with another heater. Good laundry facilities (shared) that use coins. The cleanliness was okay overall. Older facilities make better cleanliness hard (eg shower curtain sticking to you in the small shower). We would stop over again

Outdoor tubs were a bit dirty, could just be because they're outdoors, but didn't seem to have been cleaned that day. Room was very cold the first night, but staff were quick to bring us a second heater and then it was good! Cleanliness okay, older facilities. Lots of moisture build up from heating inside room and especially after a short shower the entire bathroom floor and walls were wet with condensation which didn't fully dry during our two day stay (I opened the windows for a bit, but it was too cold to have them open all the time).

Fantastic place to stay - had all we needed and a great restaurant for dinner.

Super cute little chalet! Just a bit different from the "normal" style motel! Was very warm and cosy - had everything we needed.

Not a big deal, but the tea and coffee hadn't been replenished, so although there was a coffee machine to use, there were no pods and no teabags.

Good

The A frames are very cute and cosy and set in the mountains so we had a great view. We were warm and had a decent kitchen with a hob and a coffee machine.

It wasn't very clear when booking that as we went out of the summer season, the cafe/bar/facilities are all permanently shut. I'm pretty sure the price was the same despite all the facilities being unavailable. Make sure you bring your own food!

Magical location. So many adventures to be had!

Loved the Site Manager, talk about spinning plates while dealing with monkeys and typewriters!!! She had the whole site nailed and dealt with all the weather cancelations like a pro.

The chalets could do with a new paint job, but we're so fun to stay in we didn't care. The 70's called and wanted their A frames architecture back 🤣

Nice overnight stop in the area but missed having WIFI in our room.

The two heaters provided worked well and everything in the apartment worked fine.

Perhaps we misread the information, but there was no Wifi in our unit. We had to use Wifi in a shared kitchen area which was not convenient.

very disappointing

the location meet our needs as all the walking we wanted to do was in this region

a ‘superior chalet’ is nothing more than a chalet with its own bathroom - the kitchenette consisted of a folding table to put your stuff on a fridge that didn’t work, a few plates cups cutlery and glasses that deemed themselves useless unless you had something in your superior chalet to cook with apart from toast … having complained about the fridge a guy came and changed my fridge with the fridge of the other superior chalet 🤣 omg that didn’t work with either- apart from the fact, that, that is what I call problem solving… he suggested I put my food in the communal fridge … also not a solution- I wouldn’t recommend this place and I won’t go back …

I guess you pay for the location here. It was fine for one night.

Room was large, nice coffee maker.

The bathroom was disappointing, I also didn’t see photos of it when booking. Screens on the windows would be great to leave them open without a ton of mosquitos getting in the room.
