“Ok and good as basic affordable sleeping accommodation for trampers / skiers / adventure seekers.”
+Great location for basic accommodation for tramping or sleeping. Shower works. Great we were allowed to keep our gear in the room until midday at checkout allowing us to complete our morning activities.
−No soap in toilets.

“The filthy kitchen ang fridges made me want to run. Shabby place needing better management.”
+Hard to find anything very positive about this accommodation. The shower was hot and had good pressure.
−Kitchen facilities are not pleasant. All pots and pans are burnt with no good way to clean them. . Benches dirty. Three fridges all with smells and not clean. One had a rotting cabbage. Not nice area or comfort. No fire going or welcome . Everything looks shabby. Arrived at 8pm after leaving massage about arrival time change a d could not get in. Finally someone comes out. Forgets to share wifi or any details. Room was okay but rig in bed was not fresh smelling.

“Could t wait to leave, was awake at 4am and packed - infact I didn’t sleep at all”
+The fire place in the main office
−The place was run down, the bedding was stained and had mould on the blankets, the carpets in our rooms hadn’t been vacuumed, there was used tissues on the floor, the toilet seat cover was on the floor in one of the dwelling and the shower and toilet in the other didn’t work, the rooms key was broken inside the door so we couldn’t lock it with our stuff in it, however the man who attended to us was extremely friendly and easy to chat with

+A lovely little lodge set in a lovely little valley. The kitchen was large and well stocked with cookware. I had a twin room, and it was small, but very comfortable. Lounge areas were warm and inviting. The entire property had a super chill vibe. I was also there during the shoulder season- so very few other guests.
−It was really quite dirty. The kitchen & lounge area were fairly clean, but the rooms and the bathrooms had not been vacuumed in quite a while. Cobwebs & dead insects were on the walls. Also - no garbage bins in the restrooms.

−The Lodge was filthy. The floors were covered in detritus and clearly hadn't been vacuumed for weeks. The bedding seemed dirty too.
