Tekoa Lodge was perfect for our family ski trip. House is very warm with the woodburner going. Lots of space inside and out. Very short drive to the mountain. The private bush track down the river is also very cool. We would certainly stay again. Oh, and David is an excellent communicator.

We stayed for three nights at the lodge a family of 10. Perfect location and beautiful outdoor area. Basic, but comfortable and with good bedrooms. Perhaps worth mentioning that all the bedrooms are on the first floor and all bathrooms on the ground floor.There were quite a few minor issues that all together made the stay less comfortable: an old fridge with a door that didn't shut properly, a dishwasher not working, a bbq that didn't work properly, a broken vacuum cleaner. All easy fixes, but things you expect to work for the money you pay. Very easy communication with the host and we would be happy to come back if a few basic improvements were made.
