We stayed in the studio for 3 adults with spa bath. It was very comfortable and had everything we required. We only had an overnight stay and unfortunately it was raining in the evening when we arrived so we quickly explored the area in the morning before heading up to Mt Cook. Would definitely stay there again.

Good overnight stop

A comfortable overnight stay for a road trip. The receptionist was so friendly. The room was comfortable and close to the toilets/kitchen with free parking outside the cabin. The toilets and kitchen were relatively clean.

The room is very clean and well-maintained, with jacuzzi bath and very close to the lake. The reception is not quite visible from outside and signage is not easily found. Parking is a bit inconvenient due to the room entrance is facing main driveway to other rooms.
