We just stayed overnight, and loved the comfortable big bed, and the resident dogs! Kaz was very welcoming and informative and cooked a tasty breakfast (Eggs Benedict and a 'Kiwi breakfast'. Our Coach room was also spacious.

Grace

Great views and very spacious room. Nice touches like table and chairs on private deck.

Alison

We benefitted from a great upgrade to one of the suites in the main house - it was really spacious and comfortable, with plenty of luxurious finishing touches! The communal areas at the lodge are really beautiful and the views of the mountains are spectacular. We enjoyed playing snooker and cuddling the two lovely dogs! The continental breakfast spread was delicious and there was a good variety of cooked options, although I myself didn't sample the cooked menu. Our host was helpful and friendly.

Heat in the main room should be turned down and Fireplace should be lit every night.
Some of the Windows do have screens. Really important to get some fresh air and keep those pesky bugs out. Windows in main room should have screens.
