Helen was a warm and welcoming host, with a wealth of local knowledge to share. We thoroughly enjoyed this corner of NZ and it was perfectly sized for a group of 4 adults. A novelty to stay in an off-grid home for a group of city slickers! Delicious home-cooked breakfasts were a fabulous start to a day of walking, although a full day of the glorious unobstructed views of the mountains from the lodge’s windows would’ve been enough for us. A slightly neater kitchen area and more fridge space for guests would have been gratefully appreciated. We were so thankful for her recommendation of the Bealey Hotel nearby - absolutely fabulous dinner. Thank you so much for opening your home to us!
