isolated and beautiful location, unsealed road to the lodge, shared shower and toilet facilities
It's a dorm-style setup, so expect noise at night!!! The lack of food options is frustrating, especially when you have to dine at their overpriced restaurant. Pity about the limited power sockets too!!!

I really loved the cozy atmosphere here. the large lounge area is perfect for winding down after a long day outside, and it has a nice homely vibe that just feels right. The communal spaces are clean and provide a nice spot for families to kick back and enjoy some games together.
The shared facilities can be a bit cramped. specifically, the showers don’t offer much room to change, and you’ll find the dorm setup can get noisy at night. the food options are limited as you can only dine in their restaurant, which, while decent, can take a long time to get your order out. Why force guests to eat there when plenty of great spots are just a trip away? Lastly, having limited power sockets in dorms might get inconvenient, especially when you've got multiple devices.

A cozy lodge with a lovely atmosphere made evenings enjoyable, especially with great views and a warm fireplace. The evening meal, including delicious beef dishes, was a highlight. the unsealed road leading to the lodge can be treacherous, particularly in bad weather, which is a significant downside. The limited number of sockets in the dorm was also inconvenient, especially for a room with six guests.

The lodge had a warm and cozy atmosphere, with a large common area suitable for relaxation after a day outdoors. The communal facilities were clean and accessible, ensuring I felt comfortable during my stay.
Clear pathways for easier access would be helpful.
