"Beautiful remote location, rustic communal lodge."

8.0

Remote location, views, large communal facility, big ski lodge feel.

Only double bedroom is only a wall thickness from Kitchen sink, very loud when people were doing late night wash up. Be no problem in the other rooms.

"Comfortable and warm lodge, with great high-country scenery"

10.0

The place was comfortable and warm, had friendly staff and amazing scenery, not far from the main road. It reminded me of the times I had stayed there as a kid, quite a while ago!
