+Lovely location in the rural area. The nature is breathtaking. The waterfall just a few steps from the hut. Good value for the money paid.

“Staff is really welcoming and knows the track super well. The lodge is really comfortable.”
+The staff was awesome and super accomodating. They gave us good information about the location and warned us about a bit of extra uphill riding at the end. They also gave us a ride up the hill on the 2nd day. Thanks guys! And overall they were just really helpful, knowledgeable and welcoming. They were also super kind and helpful to one of the other guests who had issues with his bike. We loved the spa pool, garden and the waterfall walk, which was beautiful… even in the pouring rain! The lodge has a super warm and relaxed vibe. We were extremely wet when we arrived. It was a great place to dry off, warm up and refuel for the next day of our adventure. Our son especially loved the cozy living room and pool table. Kitchen was super well equipped too. We cooked for ourselves and had everything we needed.
−The location is a bit off the track but totally worth the extra distance.

“Gem in the wilderness”
+We loved the remoteness, Mark was super friendly and helpful. The facilities were excellent. Loved feeding the rainbow trout and the walk to the waterfall. Even though it was 6 km from the trail, the ride through the forest was pretty neat. Good covered in e bike charging station and a ride in Lokie halfway back to the trail. We weren't disappointed by any aspect of our stay
−That we only had one night.
