    A Thoughtful Layout for Families & Groups

The second bedroom includes a comfortable queen bed, perfect for couples or additional guests. Each room is designed with simplicity and comfort in mind, ensuring a restful night’s sleep after a day of exploring.

    Outside, Lavender Lodge is surrounded by a beautiful garden setting. Lavender plants, seasonal flowers, and fruit trees create a peaceful outdoor space where you can enjoy your morning coffee, unwind in the afternoon sun, or simply take in the fresh alpine air. The garden changes gently with the seasons, making every stay feel a little different.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
The house is below par in heating due to minimal insulation, high ceiling and single glazing. The heat pump and electric heaters were not able to maintain an agreeable temperature with below zero temperatures outside. I know New Zealanders are used to bad heating, but we as Europeans feel this house is NOT COMFORTABLE. Even with the log fire going...
