Kinga H. Sep 22, 2024 09:15:31 AM
Summary: The house was old but nice. What I didn’t like to much is how clean it was you can clearly see was a rush job from the cleaners is definitely needed more attention on cleaning like the window was dirty and the carpet wasn’t vacuumed well. All rest was good and nice. Thank you
De Vries P. Aug 21, 2024 11:24:17 AM
Summary: Although the property is a little older then other properties we stayed at, it was cosy and welcoming staying there. Close enough to National Park but far enough away so that we wouldnt get bothered.
Joanna O. Sep 29, 2023 04:08:10 AM
Summary: Comfortable, spacious and perfect spot to get away with our friends and be near the mountain on a sunny skiing weekend. Thank you!
Angeline V. Sep 2, 2023 09:40:33 AM
Summary: Property location is great. Ample space for 10 people. Property is in need of some cosmetic tlc. With 10 guests an additional bathroom would have been a bonus, but apart from that we enjoyed our stay extremely much. Thank you!
Ilze B. Sep 1, 2023 07:41:20 AM
Summary: Loved the fire place that warmed up the entire house. The house was perfect. We found everything we needed to stay comfortably. The house is in a good clean condition.
Josie N. Aug 31, 2023 05:01:19 PM
Summary: We had a lovely stay at the lodge, the fire was great, plenty of beds and nice open plan living area. Could do with a bit of maintenance with one broken window taped up and signs for the upstairs deck saying it was not accessible due to it be unsafe, also we were in need of another heater for one room. But apart from that we had a wonderful time and our children loved the house so much! It was a great spot to stay close to the mountain for our children’s first snow experience. Ngā mihi nui :)

Summary: It was quite an experience. Can get very cold overnight once the fire goes out. Also takes a while for the house to warm up, Suggest instant heating like Heatpump. Trucks passing by woke me up a few times overnight as it's close to the highway. But overall we enjoyed our stay and the peaceful environment not forgetting it's very close to the ski field so didn't take us long to travel. Host were spot on with communication and helpfull too. Don't mind going back for the price. Thanks
