Had a great stay here. Warm, cosy, clean and staff very friendly and helpful. Lovely breakfast and great service in bar/restaurant. Handy to Mt Hutt for skiing or Opuke pools for relaxing. Make sure to book the pools in advance as limited number and book out fast.

Clean, good location and friendly staff.
Friendly welcoming host. Room spacious and clean. Light breakfast in morning very nice. Handy to Hot pools that are well worth a visit. Only issue was our room in main lodge backed onto a shower in the room next door so as walls thin when shower was run it was woke you in morning.
