Cosy comfort

Amazing location nestled in the bush right beside the lake. The cabin was clean and cosy, and the bed was super comfortable. The Lodge area is organised well with some cool communal spaces. It was so nice being right next to the trees and waking up to the sound of bird songs.

Very comfortable cabin. I really enjoyed the peaceful surroundings and the easy walk to the ferry terminal to get across to Doubtful Sound. The facilities were great and would definitely return.

Get new keys and a safe non-muddy grass area between room and toilets and bathroom.

I didn't stay the night, but it's cheap.

  • • The ground between the room and the toilet was muddy wet grass. I thought it was not safe for walking at night to the outside bathrooms. I also couldn't open the door of the room so I was locked out.

Gateway to the fjords

This is a great option if you are planning to be out most of the day and just need somewhere to sleep. It’s a great gateway to the fjords and also amazing for the price. There's a fireplace outside which is quite nice in the winter or just when it’s cold. The showers and toilets at the lodge are quite clean and convenient. The shared kitchen is well equipped (can be seen in pictures). Our tea and tuna got stolen from the cupboard (???) but we did leave it there without labelling so that’s kinda on us (it is requested that everything you leave there is labelled with your name). There’s also a nice cafe right nearby which serves good food and has friendly staff. Overall we were very happy with our place!!

  • • It was a bit cold when we checked in and arrived in the room (we were here in June) but this is understandable because you can’t leave the heater on unattended. It did get warm quite fast once we turned everything on (heater + electric blankets) and it was comfortable.
