The View! You can not tire from the beautiful outlook form the balcony. Seeing the mountain range plunging into the ocean is remarcable. A bonus was being able to see the village below and its goings on.

Every was just fine and well worth the money . Just one point above the shower needs to be cleaned as it was full of cobwebs so obviously hadn’t been cleaned for a while

The lodge is easy to locate and quiet, the rooms are spacious and beautifully appointed with wide open views. There was a warm welcome from Mary. The do_it_yourself breakfast spread was great with cooking facilities if you want to make an evening meal, too.

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.

Brilliant location, our room was delightful, cosy, clean and comfortable. The Lodge had an exceptional kitchen, spotlessly clean and very well equipped. The upstairs lounge and balcony were a bonus. A very friendly welcome on our arrival by the staff member

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.

The room was exactly as promised in the photos; clean, cosy, and quaint. The lodge complex was huge and had lots of communal facilities. We enjoyed using the lounge with fireplace and outdoor hot tub. It had an all round charming aesthetic that felt like being invited into someones home (with plenty of privacy). Staff were excellent and showed us to our room when we arrived. The location was good and is pretty much in the centre of the town. Free parking as well. Highly recommended!

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.
