Una casa de campo sumamente acogedora. La propietaria, Mel, es muy hospitalaria. Habitaciones confortables con vista a un hermoso lago natural. Buen desayuno preparado según la preferencia personal del cliente
So quaint and secluded. A mini oasis. Mel was amazing. Hostess with the most-est. She suggested we do an early breakfast to get to Hooker Valley Trail early and she was so right for that! Rooms were immaculate. Refreshments and breakfast were immaculate. I wish we stayed more than 1 night.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Not recommended for couple as lacks privacy nor families as too small! Only one long dining table for 10 and wonder how it qualifies as a lodge! Only 5 rooms and breakfast from 8 am to 9 am!!! No fridge nor even kettle plus! Checkout is at 10 am and a loud knock on the door to confirm; hardly hospitable act let alone service. Over priced at NZ$500 per nite! Expedia needs to update.
Amazing lodge and lovely hosts. Highly recommend staying here. We stayed for 3 nights and the proximity to Mt Cook area was excellent (about 45 mins).
The lodge was peaceful and included a lovely breakfast. Plenty of space to relax in the large lounge room in the lodge.
There are a number of local places to eat dinner at (a short drive away).
We only stayed one night but would have liked to stay longer. A very beautiful property, very spacious and wonderful hosts. The view of the stars at night in a specially prepared area was fantastic. the cooked breakfast in the morning was delicious. Also wine and beverages available at any time.
Great accommodation close to Twizel. Excellent breakfast - all home made.
Rooms were spacious and bed extremely comfortable.
Bathroom furniture could do with a refurb.
The outstanding feature were the positive energies of the hosts (Libby and Geoff). Libby was so caring for all her guests and ensuring that they were maximising their experience of the area - nothing was too much trouble for her to try and organise or to suggest.
What a wonderful surprise!!! This place was awesome. The staff, the bed, the views, couldn’t have been better. The hospitality was the BEST, we felt so welcomed!!! Thank you!
