Mataura Lodge is a fantastic large house stuffed full of character, history and charm situated in a small village on the main road to Queenstown. The perfect base from which to explore the Fiordlands, Weslands and central Otago. We particularly enjoyed the Athol Shop cafe accross the road and visited Te Anau, Queenstown and Arrowtown as part of our trip, all within easy reach of Athol.
The house itself was tidy and made ready for our arrival and the beds were extremely comfortable. The front garden showcased some fascinating old wagons, windmill and dunny and we made use of the barbeque and porch. All in all a wonderful place!
