Travelling with 2 adults and 3 kids we needed one nights last minute accommodation en route from the West Coast to Christchurch. The lodge exceeded our expectations. We had a 4 bedroom cottage, which was perfect for us, opening up onto a gorgeous garden & pond area. Nothing flash decor wise but clean and warm. The food in the lodge... More

The grounds are really gorgeous and our two bed unit was clean and sizeable. The patio doors opened out onto lovely garden area with a trout pool in it. They have a restaurant that looks out onto the gardens. They serve a limited selection of good food. Only note worthy shortcoming here was our bathroom. . Bathroom was disabled friendly... More

We stayed for one brief night at this lodge in a spacious 2 bedroom cottage/cabin. The views from the lodge, particularly from up the knoll, are spectacular overlooking the lake towards Arthurs Pass. We wished we'd had more time to do some walks round the area and see the goings-on at the working station, sheep shearing etc. The cabin itself... More

What a great place to stay for a weekend get away (or longer) in a very beautiful part of New Zealand. Loads of walks within a short drive. Had a group of us and stayed in the backpackers rooms. Excellent clean bunk rooms and super clean facilities. Warm and comfortable beds (need own sleeping bag but comes with sheet and... More

Stayed one night in cottage with family en route to west coast. Lovely isolated location with picturesque views and nice walks nearby. Cottage (more like a wood cabin) was clean and lots of room as there were 4 bedrooms for family of 5 of us. Basic but functional and quite fun rural atmosphere. Decent restaurant on site (meals finish at... More

Just stayed here with 2 couples - they assigned us a 4 bedroom / 1 bathroom cottage which was very comfortable and clean - and excellent value for money. Unfortunately we were just passing through from Franz Joseph Glacier to Christchurch so did not have time to fully appreciate the wonderful setting - would love to come back and spend... More

We recently had the good fortune of staying at Flock Hill Lodge. WOW! This place is gorgeous. Located in a park like setting with beautiful gardens and views of the Southern Alps all around you. This is a working New Zealand high country station that thankfully is also run as a lodge - accommodation to suit all budgets and a... More

We stayed one night on a South Island trip and wish we could have stayed longer. The double bedroom 'motel unit' was extremely comfortable with amazing views from the bedrooms. The bed was huge and the place spotlessly clean. Taking both motel units would have been good for a group of friends or two families. We had hoped to do... More

The accommodation are renovated worker's quarters that most likely used to be used on the farm. They are basic, but very big and very good value for money. The surrounding area is breathtaking with beautiful scenery. We went for a walk and saw the farm animals - which was nice. We ate dinner in the restaurant. It's not fine dining... More
