She owner offered to feed us if we were not succesful, lovely gesture!! We stayed in the lodge with communal kitchen with everything you need to cook or make packed lunches. Rooms were clean and spacious with a great deck overlooking Mt Cook and a great place for star gazing at night. A nice heater in the bathroom to keep you warm on cool mornings. The bonus of having a pet dog for a couple days was awesome for our son who read to him and played, i felt comfortably safe letting him play. Would stay here again and certainly will be suggesting this as great base for Mt Cook, the drive up to the village along the lake is exquisite.

Because it was so late, the menu was limited, but the bar tender helped me find something that was available. The chef prepared a beautiful chicken salad! I was hoping for something to fill my belly, but it was better than just filling. On a bed of lightly dressed lettuce the chef placed beets, onion, sweet peppers, and tomatoes in a pinwheel arrangement. On top of that, lightly breaded and crispy chicken breast. I'm so glad I happened upon this quaint little town and this hidden gem of a restaurant!
