Forest lodge is a lovely side-country lodge in central New Zealand with fantastic access to some epic mount biking. My wife and I had an excellent stay. Sam was super helpful and friendly and even offered to give us some shuttles for some bike laps. The lodge has great rustic charm, with a huge central wood stove and communal kitchen and hang out area. If you're in the craigieburn area for a visit or some biking, this is a great option. Would definitely recommend.
