Comfortable and very warm, beautiful house and the little bush walk in the garden down to the river was fantastic, we would love to have done this at night to see if there are glow worms! my daughter loved the trampoline, super comfortable beds, Perfect living area for hot chocolates and toasting marshmallows on the fire after a cold wet day. We also enjoyed doing a couple of the many puzzles from the bookshelf :)

A couple of Staircase was rails were a little wobbly however did not affect us, a smell in the kitchen every so often maybe a mouse or rat in the ceiling? Perhaps causing the flickering kitchen light?

It was rustic cosy with fire place it gave you a peaceful vibe for family to come together just loved it

Nothing you couldn't fault it

Great location, lovely lodge that is cozy and warm. Has everything needed for a large group. They had the fire ready for us on arrival. Lots of fire wood. Walk down to the river was beautiful. Such a great spot when visiting the mountains.

Small communication issue with 1 less towel than number of people but thankfully we had some spare towels. Could not figure out how to work the oven, some instructions would be a good idea.Beds are not very comfortable but I am known to be a little picky with comfort. These are very minor concerns. The place was amazing.

There were 7 of us staying for the weekend to do the tongariro crossing. The owner was immediately friendly and helpful from the minute I made the reservation. He went out of his way to help provide us with extra amenities that we needed. Carla, the lady who manages the property in David's absence was just incredible. What a wonderful lady. The food was divine, the welcome home with the fire burning was sensational. The warmth and friendliness we experienced here was just superb. It made our weekend so memorable. Everyone said the same. Thank you so much to both of you. You know I will be back 😊
