Stopped for one night while walking the QCT. The room was nice and quiet. I enjoyed the food as well. I highly recommend. My only gripe is the lack of facial tissue in the room. Very odd for such a nice place.

Fabulous location, great for a stop over on the Queen Charlotte track, but the place seemed in need of some care and attention around the grounds. Food was good, and accommodation ok but for the cost it felt like it needed some TLC around the estate.

The lodge is in the wilderness and does a great job of handling people and luggage. It has wonderful views . It’s very expensive though.

Great stay, enjoyed our little chalet especially the fantastic views. Staff were excellent and they provided a awesome packed lunch for our walk on the Queen Charlotte Track, great that you can check out from the top restaurant on your way out.
