We really enjoyed staying in the lovely unique Canadian style lodge. Feels very rustic initially but the modernised bathrooms and well equipped kitchen and furnishings made it extremely comfortable. The fires heated the lodge just nice and made it feel very cosy. The weather was clogged in for most of our stay, however when there was an opening in the clouds, the view of Mt Ruapehu was fantastic.
Deb and her husband were great hosts, very accommodating and making sure we had enough wood etc. Hone made crumpets and jam were a lovely touch too.
