Warm cosy Mountain Home
From the moment we walked in the fire was roaring and felt so cosy and warm, plenty of room for all of us (9 of us, with children ranging from 17-3) with lots of extra blankets and everything we needed. Will definitely book again.

Lovely large rustic chalet
We stayed 2 nights in August. Excellent communication with owner. Great large living area with cost wood fire that was going when we arrived. Impressed with owner collecting our recycling rubbish, too. Well equipped kitchen. Electric blankets in all beds. Loud trains at night x2-4 but only lasted a few seconds. Definitely would recommend this place.

Love the timber work!
Wayne was very welcoming and the lodge is unique with its impressive timber features. Although a little tired and unkempt it's a great place to stay for a group. One lovely bathroom and one very tired bathroom.

Dog friendly
The house itself was very nice, well appointed, clean. The stove was ok but could do with an overhaul. The surrounds were interesting and a bit if a surprise - lots of ancient machinery scattered around the fields and sheds, that were interesting to explore. Very handy to Turoa. Also pretty relaxed about our dog, which makes a nice change, compared to most bookabach places where managers/owners get a bit paranoid about pets.

A cabin in the snow
We all really enjoyed the stay. The property was great. It snowed while we were there so staying in a wooden cabin made the experience even more memorable. 5 bedrooms so enough space for 2 families. Close to town. Wayne was really helpful & a great host. Would definitely stay again.
