The lodge is an ideal location for a gorgeous outdoor ceremony, photographs and a perfect venue for the bridal party or family members to stay and prepare for that important day.
We are happy to provide a barbeque the day after too.

Get a Group Together and Book the Lodge
The lodge is a great place for families or other groups to have exclusively. Because it is so spacious there is room for up to approximately 18 people at a time. If you book the entire lodge there is a special group discount.
Whether it is a family skiing holiday or a visit to Central Otago, why not get a few families together and check out our very reasonable rates. Children welcome.
