"We chose this location as we knew it would be a bit quirky, and it definitely delivered on this. The check in time was chaotic, with only one person and a short time period to arrive, lots of campers without reservations were queueing up to be booked in. Our motel unit had all the amenities we needed, with a full kitchen. The shower was hot, with good water pressure, all good as long as you aren't too tall. The decor was a slice of the Swiss Alps :-) We could park right outside our unit and it had an awesome view of the lake and mountains from the living area. There was no road noise at night, and the location was very convenient for an early morning trip to Doubtful Sound. While the surfaces e.g. kitchen and bathroom in the unit were clean, there was a lot of dust and grime behind furniture, on skirting boards etc. - suggest that these are in need of a deep clean. Washing machines (x2) and dryers (x2) were at the main utilities area; because it was around teatime and people were using microwaves etc. in the same block, the power cut out and we needed to find a staff member to reset the breaker/fuse. You need $2 coins for these - available from reception during check in time."

"The unit is a one bedroom apartment underneath the main house. It was spacious and clean. The bed was very comfortable. The provisions in the kitchen were more than adequate. The bathroom was very spacious and having laundry available was very helpful. Ample parking in front of the unit. Geraldine was very gracious and communicative as a host. Who would certainly recommend the unit to other travelers. "

"The complex was in very poor condition with the grounds and out door aminities in dire need of TLC. The room had no kitcken one pot and no utensils. There was a shared outsude room kitchen facility use at your own risk. The wifi didnt work so the tv and internet were unavailsble. Apparently hadnt worked for 3 years. Same with the attached bar and resturant. Which left dining options limited. "

"Louise was quick to respond to our messages. We were able to check in early which was fantastic. "

"Camper cabin was small but good"

"Host showed us great southern hospitality. The shephards hut is a labour of love and the shower is really that good (waterfall and AMAZING water pressure)."

"We loved the rustic feel and the warmth of the fireplace."

"Awesome place if you’re out these ways. Philippa and Rob are amazing hosts. We got a garden view room with a lovely view. Convenient location. The hosts let us park at theirs while we were on the overnight cruise in Doubtful Sound. Breakfast was included and it was a clocked breakfast. Will definitely stay again"

"This lodge exceeded our expectations. Briedi & Brad were so welcoming. The lodge itself is beautifully set up on hill overlooking the lake with the beautiful snowcapped mountains in the background-simply amazing. We highly recommend this lodge"
