We had a lovely stay. It snowed while we were there which was amazing. We loved the opportunity to be able to explore the station and really appreciated being allowed to do this. We drove over and walked up the Whaleback with amazing views of the Southern Alps.
The place itself was a little more tired than the photos show but the lounge area was still very comfortable to sit in front of the fire on a chilly winter night. It was lovely arriving to the fire going.
