We had a wonderful time staying at the lodge. Deb and Steve were great hosts and the homemade crumpets and jam were awesome! The house has everything you need and more, with the pool table, spa and so many games and books to choose from. It’s also very dog friendly and our kelpie had a great time playing and lazing outside on the lawn. Views are spectacular - we were so lucky because the weather was stunning, bright sunny days which meant watching beautiful sunrises next to the mountain from the deck. I just wish we could have stayed longer… ##### Kim M.

Cosy, warm, so clean and comfortable. There's plenty of space to stretch out and relax, with beds galore and lots of sitting/ living areas. The kids loved the gorgeous modern spa and pool table, which kept them entertained all week! The bathrooms are modern and new, and the overall feel of the house was welcoming and homely. Deb and Steve were excellent hosts, and the kids loved feeding the ducks. Thank you again for a relaxing stay, we WILL be back! ##### Liz T.

With a roaring fire to welcome us on arrival and the hot spa on the deck ready with mountain views was just bliss. Homemade crumpets and jam were just one of the special touches that made our stay so memorable. We played pool in the warmth of the heart of the house and scrabble as the sun went down. Only minutes away ftom Ohakune this gorgeous place exceeded our exoectations. It is beautifully appointed with a real charm, and super clean and tidy.

Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicky B. 8 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely, relaxing stay - amazing views! My husband and I were here for a week with our border collie X doggo, and we all had a fabulous time! There was space for our dog to run around outside, but also a really lovely river walk across the road where he could be off-lead. We also did a similar, slightly longer, river walk in Ohakune which was dog-friendly. The log cabin itself is lovely - all the beds are upstairs; there are two private rooms, and then also a more open-plan area that had 2x queen and 2x king singles. Super-comfy beds! The weather turned rubbish for a couple of days so we just hunkered down in front of the fire and watched movies. Hubby enjoyed having the pool table, and the piano was an unexpected bonus! Highly recommend this place and we very much hope to be back. Thanks Steve and Deb! ##### Nicky B.

Just 2 of us on a break away and it felt cosy and warm, could just as easily have been 10 with plenty of beds and break out spaces. We had 2 of the fireplaces going and the large pool table was a fun diversion. Never turned the tv on which is always a great sign. Great view of the mountain on arrival (well what we could see under the cloud) from the lounge, she hid after that but you can’t control the weather. Lovely hosts made sure the fire was going and fridge stocked with homemade crumpets before we arrived. Highly recommend, we would definitely come again! ##### Sharon S.

The bathrooms arent photographed in the listing so we weren't sure what to expect. There is a full modern bathroom downstairs with a shower. Theres another bathroom downstairs split with the shower and toilet in seperate rooms. The bathroom upstairs is connected to the main bedroom. All lovely, modern and clean. I brought my dog along and was pleased to find it very dog friendly. Didn't even have to worry about him trying to go upstairs because the wooden spiral staircase was too "scary" for him. Overall a great place and would be happy to stay here again. ##### Leona M.
