Tanya's lodge was a wonderful retreat for me and my group of friends. It fantastic how just 40 minutes away from Christchurch city you can find yourself in this lovely lodge-styled home that lives so seamlessly with it's environment. Tanya was a incredibly hospitable- personalizing our stay with the welcome sign, recommending us the local attractions and sharing her experiences of living in the area. The lodge itself is equipped with everything you could need. As the weather over our weekend stay was quite drizzly, my friends and I thoroughly enjoyed being toasty by the fire, the tree top views and the general tranquility of the escape from the city. We are all already looking forward to our next stay! Thank you for having us Tanya :)
