Mary was extremely welcoming and friendly - she let us visit the plane in her hangar, and also offered a great chat! The ingredients given for the breakfast was also good, although you do have to cook the eggs yourself (an egg station is set up). There was also flexibility for a late check out, which was offered free of charge.

The guest suite is warm and spacious with private access and covered parking for your car. It is part of a beautiful architecturally built property set amongst native plantings with amazing views of the mountains. All of the fittings are of the highest standards, and with the access to laundry facilities, means you can comfortably stay for as long as you need to unwind. Annette is really welcoming and was there to help us with everything we needed. Thank you for a memorable visit, we hope to come again next year!

The owners, Carla and Glen, were a very sweet couple and genuinely hospitable. Great place to stay and just a very short walk to beautiful scenic beaches. A stop in paradise.

Huge rooms, each were clean, tidy and the showers are amazing! We were leaving early so the hosts put out breakfast in the restaurant so we could eat before we hit the road. It was such a lovely touch. I wish we had longer! Top tip, when you book, message the restaurant and book in for dinner. Failing that, the Waitaki pub had a good menu.

The location is really discrete that makes the entire experience private. We have everything we need in the glass house. The owner is helpful when we get stuck with the snow. Would definitely revisit!

We flew into Christchurch as we wanted to start our NZ adventure on the South Island. We arrived in the morning and Cathy & Grant let us check in early. Once settled, they suggested some ideas for that afternoon as well as several options for lunch & dinner . All of there recommendations were great. The location of the lodge is in a peaceful garden with a stream flowing through the back yard. We had a great night’s sleep as it has to be one of the quietest places in New Zealand. We spent the next day in Christchurch and a second peaceful night of sleep and we were well on our way to time zone adjustment and ready to explore more of the South Island. Thanks Cathy & Grant

It’s a nice lodge in the cook village. Honestly speaking more cost-effective one compared to the fancy hotel. I liked the smell of their soap. The shared kitchen and common area has magnificent view of the snowy mountains! Have plenty of kitchenware and space for food in the fridge. There are quite a few parking space up front. If you staying in cook village, better bring your own ingredients for cooking or instant food. Cuz there isn’t that many place that sell food here and not many options.

Such an amazing place to stay, Hayley welcomed us when we arrived and provided us with a lovely platter and bottle of wine. The room was beautiful with a view out over the mountains, and had everything we needed. Would highly recommend the lodge to others.

We were pleasantly surprised on our arrival at the lodge. Very friendly staff and our room and ensuite was inviting and very clean. The kitchen was very well equipped and had a lovely homely feel, with a lovely Logitech. The lounge had very comfy sofas to sink into for a pleasant read or to watch TV

Fantastic views, both distant and garden at the lodge. Spotlessly clean, and very cosy with extras like scatter rugs for sitting outside to relax watching the birds. Breakfast you can have in the lounge or a tray in your room. Owners were super friendly and helpful with attractions. One of the loveliest places I’ve stayed in.

The location is perfect, the Lodge was so clean and sparkling, and everything was super organized. I enjoyed spending a little time sitting in front of the fireplace reading my book and enjoying the Patchouli smell in the living room.

The location was perfect only a couple of minutes away from Opuke hot pools that we went to close to the town centre for meals, great walks which we did. Breakfast at the lodge was delicious, the facilities there were exceptional and the staff were so lovely and welcoming. Our room was so clean and warm with a view of the mountains and so peaceful and quiet. We loved the games room and had so much fun there.

We only stayed here 1 night but wish we spent more time here. Amazing food (the dinner is 100% worth it!), super friendly staff, beautiful views with deer right outside, comfortable bed, amazing amenities. Honestly one of the best hotels/lodges I have stayed at.
