Stayed for two nights over Easter. A great get away in a peaceful location in a beautiful building. Large comfortable rooms with views onto the lake, timber lined hallways, a well stocked library, two sitting rooms and verandahs to sit on and take in the view and chill out. With a short walk to the waterfall behind the lodge, or... More

Me & my 7 year old stayed 1 night in July. Lovely lodge & great value at the winter rates. Nice room, en-suite & fantastic bed. Hosts were brilliant & didn't mind my boy rampaging around their kitchen and chasing the dogs around the property. Extensive library & good fire in lounge a bonus.

We spent two nights at this beautifully remote lodge on the shores of Lake Brunner and had a most relaxing stay. The lodge has a very charming 1920s feel with it's elegantly proportioned, wood panelled rooms which are decorated with understated character. Our kind hosts David and Jackie welcomed us and went out of their way to ensure that we... More

We arrived in the pouring rain and we were offered tea and sandwiches, a fire was going and we all relaxed in what felt like our private lodge. The accomodations were wonderful with beautiful views of the lake.... More

Evenings were spent relaxing although the weather did bring a few sand-flies so the evening outside... More

This is a very lovely remote lodge (which we desired) and you need to be prepared to entertain yourselves.

Our room rate included breakfast & always a wonderful surprise 3 course dinner. We also enjoyed 'afternoon tea' in... More

WE stayed here after fantastic trip throughout South Island. We had planned on having 2-3 nights of luxury before our departure from Christchurch. We would have left within 10mins of arrival if it weren't for the distance we had already travelled that day, and lack of accommodation elsewhere..it is very remote. However we love remoteness, but service was basically non... More
