Stayed here as part of a group of 7 going on a skiing holiday. Got three triple rooms in the one lodge (lodge T i think?) which had an awesome view of the Remarkables! One of the higher-up lodges I think, and the short uphill walk was definitely worth it for the view. The lodges were warm (heating in every... more

This place was a mistake for us - but it would be fine for backpackers. It's tricky for us as a family of 5 to get good accommodation without costing a fortune, so we gave this a go.

I stayed here while travelling around New Zealand in Feb 2006. There were 3 of us (2 girls and 1 guy) staying in their backpacker accommodation. This was by far the best hostel we stayed in during our time in New Zealand. The set-up is fabulous - its lots of little buildings, each with its own kitchen and bathroom. There... more
