The pictures really don't do the lodge justice, it is in the most amazing setting. We really enjoyed relaxing and fishing in the sun in the day time, the amazing wood fired hot tub and fire pit by night. We can't recommend this place enough. Dave gave us a warm welcome and showed us how everything worked, which was appreciated and helped us get to grips with things pretty quickly.
It's a short drive from Hobbiton which we visited on our second day.
A couple of things to consider, there are no plug sockets (the place is truly off grid) and not all of the doors lock (you are well out of the way of anything so security isn't really an issue). Dave has installed some USB sockets so you can still charge your phones though.
Book your stay, you won't regret it.
