Great little rustic 1970's bach/cabin unit for a family on the go with 2-3 kids, or two couples wanting their own rooms. One room has a nice king bed, and the other room has a double bunk - thick comfortable double bed at the bottom and single at the top. Extra futon bunk in lounge. Internal airconditioning and heating in both rooms. The cabin has a lounge and TV and it's own private deck and outdoor chairs overlooking an expansive lawn and stream at the bottom. A warm spa hot tub is right beside the deck (shared facility). Miniature kitchenette contains full fridge, microwave, frypan, toaster, jug, electric cooktop and all the pots and crockery (no conventional stove/oven). Outside on the covered deck is a nice big BBQ for summer sizzles. At the upper Lodge grounds there are great family facilities to share including volleyball, trampoline, petanque, and sandpit. Our wannabe city-farm is great for kids to feed the sheep, chickens, rabbits and the occasional piglets during feeding time. During spring we will often have chicks, piglets and lambs to pet. We are on the outskirts of town, about the same distance from city centre as the gondolas (same Auckland-side of town). So there's no traffic and no sulphur smell, but the city bus stops right at the front gate and a taxi from the pubs is still affordable!
