Beautifully warm and solid high quality lodge with cosy log burner, under floor heating, outdoor hot tub, and lovely outlook to tree-covered hills and mountains. Claudine is a great communicator and gives a warm welcome. The walk to Lake Crystal is magical when it snows. Good in-house wifi more than made up for lack of mobile coverage on the Vodafone network. Kowhai Lodge occupies only the left half of the building pictured. Highly recommended.
