Wonderful place to stay. The unique style made of oldies goldies, the common room and its perfect homemade cookies, the fantastic staff, the gorgeous breakfast. One of the best places I ever stayed in, beats any four-star hotel hands down. Merci!

This place is SO cool! Kim, the manager on duty when we were there, was incredibly friendly and accommodating. We stayed one night in the music room and one night in the train car. Our friend stayed in the bus and the wagon. The train car blew my mind! It was spacious, with a great shower/bath, and just felt so unique. The lodge itself is beautiful. Breakfast is good and the library is a great place to chill, have a beer or coffee, and read. If you pass through Te Anu, definitely stay here!
