The price was reasonable. The kitchen was well equiped. Especially liked the fire place in the kitchen. Everything was clean from our room to the kitchen. I would prefer a lighter duvet though my daughter liked the weighted duvet - so that's personal preference. The only concern was being able to hear people in the next room. I could hear snoring when I used the bathroom but at least couldn't hear this when we shut the bathroom door. Though in the morning it was quite noisy. Didn't really bother me as we were getting up anyway. ##### Lucy Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Monica 27 Feb 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Entire lodge was spotless and everything was there we needed. Only issue was the noise. And probably this was due to other guests not being considerate. Our bedroom was below TV room. Noise from TV. People dropping things and talking was easily heard. The worse thing was banging doors when guest went in and out. One guest put an object in door entrance to keep door from closing and chatted on mobile ph. It was very noisy when guests opened or closed bedroom doors and lodge entrance doors. Maybe a notice to close doors quietly with handles might help. The noise was the only thing that was not right. Receptionist very welcoming on arrival. ##### Monica Stayed 1 night in Feb 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ben 10 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great place, warm fireplace and nice shared facilities and rooms ##### Ben Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tadashi 15 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities What a lovely place to stay!

Very limited storage in room ##### Mark Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Stu 24 Jan 2026 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities I was disappointed in my room. To pay the same price as a motel or very similar to get a room for at least 2 with an ensuite and find I was put into such a small room with an ensuite that you can hardly turn around in was totally disappointing. To top things off when I went to have a wash in the morning there was no hot water. ##### Stu Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Jude 16 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Very comfy beds.

Tea and coffee provided would be good. At the price, which was similar to a motel, Tea and Coffee facilities are usually included. ##### Steve Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Mark 6 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Warm and comfortable ##### Mark Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gloria 21 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Lovely couple who run it with the cutest little daughter ##### Gloria Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Zara 19 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Back again to ski second year in a row. This was our second trip to Snow Denn and we had another enjoyable stay. The owner is very friendly and helpful and it was great to see how much her young child had grown since our visit last year. Our boys were happy to be back. The kitchen and bathroom were nice and clean and the other guests friendly and quiet. Nice central location, very near to both supermarkets and in town eateries. All very short walking distance. ##### Zara Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2022 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Luana 13 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service There was no tv in our room or no face cloths and no body wash ##### Luana Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### William 3 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Good Bathrooms, Kitchen & dining room with fireplace, and lounge room. Located fairly close to shops and food & beverage outlets and has private car parking on site available. However the room I stayed in (twin dorm with bunk bed) was really small and had bad soundproofing so all the noise from people talking in kitchen and dining room, shower and toilet came straight through the walls. ##### William Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Aaron 1 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Ee ##### Aaron Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ben 7 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Personal war sehr sehr freundlich, Zimmer waren sauber.

My two young boys and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Snow Denn Lodge. It was a lovely warm and welcoming hostel, with comfy made up beds and a wood burning stove lit each evening in the kitchen/dining/common area. The kitchen was well equipped and clean and there was a lovely big dining table that was great for meeting other Lodge residents around. I loved that I could easily recycle our waste and even feed food scraps to the owners' chooks (via collection bucket). My boys loved hanging out in the comfortable lounge area upstairs, with great views over to Mount Hutt. We even met another family to ski with through staying here. They come back annually, apparently. Plus, when a favourite cuddly toy was accidentally left behind, Laura, one of the owners, located it and is couriering it home to us. Great, friendly service from her, partner Tim and baby Tessa!! I'm sure we'll be back... ##### Zara Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2021 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Copthorne Hotel Greymouth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Greymouth-Hotels-Kingsgate-Hotel-Greymouth.h12933.Hotel-Information) > - [DoubleTree by Hilton Queenstown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Queenstown.h4412246.Hotel-Information) > - [Distinction Heritage Gateway Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Omarama-Hotels-Heritage-Gateway-Hotel.h519242.Hotel-Information) > - [Falcons Nest](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cromwell-Hotels-Falcons-Nest.h31053004.Hotel-Information) > - [Hilton Queenstown Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Hilton-Queenstown-Resort-Spa.h4268206.Hotel-Information) > - [Cardrona Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Cardrona-Hotel.h9629768.Hotel-Information) > - [Beachfront Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitianga-Hotels-Beachfront-Resort.h6960059.Hotel-Information) > - [Millbrook Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Millbrook-Resort.h584862.Hotel-Information) > - [Hahei Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hahei-Hotels-Hahei-Holiday-Resort.h9869496.Hotel-Information) > - [Kinloch Wilderness Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Kinloch-Wilderness-Retreat.h3848386.Hotel-Information) > - [Rosewood Matakauri](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Matakauri-Lodge.h1097561.Hotel-Information) > - [The Sands Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Omapere-Hotels-The-Heads-Hokianga.h1217506.Hotel-Information) > - [The Amberley Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amberley-Hotels-The-Amberley-Hotel.h83782595.Hotel-Information) > - [Richmond Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Richmond-Hotels-Richmond-Holiday-Park.h29218591.Hotel-Information) > - [Parkview Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/National-Park-Village-Hotels-Parkview-Apartments.h32421560.Hotel-Information) > - [Kelly Rd Cambridge Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hamilton-Hotels-Kelly-Rd-Cambridge-Lodge.h17679551.Hotel-Information) > - [Porters Boutique Hotel & Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Havelock-North-Hotels-Porters-Boutique-Hotel.h15965962.Hotel-Information) > - [Blue Ridge Studios and Bed & Breakfast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Te-Anau-Hotels-Blue-Ridge-Boutique-Bed-Breakfast.h9625233.Hotel-Information) > - [Waitomo Caves Guest Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Waitomo-Caves-Hotels-Waitomo-Caves-Guest-Lodge.h16121337.Hotel-Information) > - [Scenic Hotel Punakaiki](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Greymouth-Hotels-Punakaiki-Resort.h982476.Hotel-Information) > - [Treetops Lodge & Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rotorua-Hotels-Treetops-Lodge-Estate.h912953.Hotel-Information) > - [Bayside Holiday Units](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitianga-Hotels-Bayside-Holiday-Units.h49101011.Hotel-Information) > - [Te Anau Lakeview Holiday Park & Motels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Te-Anau-Hotels-Te-Anau-Lakeview-Kiwi-Holiday-Park-Motels.h4192650.Hotel-Information) > - [Ramada Resort By Wyndham Rotorua Marama](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rotorua-Hotels-Ramada-Resort-By-Wyndham-Rotorua-Marama.h3512184.Hotel-Information) > - [Anglers paradise and great family holiday place](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Makarora-Hotels-Anglers-Paradise-And-Great-Family-Holiday-Place.h37278832.Hotel-Information) > - [Hidden Lake Hotel and Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hamilton-Hotels-Hidden-Lake-Hotel-And-Apartments.h29081973.Hotel-Information) > - [The Barn Cabins & Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marahau-Hotels-The-Barn-Cabins-Camping.h15886153.Hotel-Information) > - [The Duke of Marlborough Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Russell-Hotels-The-Duke-Of-Marlborough-Hotel.h1038082.Hotel-Information) ---
