Sue Boyd
This is an amazing house with great facilities. A great amount of space for a large crowd to enjoy great times and memories made. Beds are comfortable and the open plan living area is a great space. The outdoor surroundings were beautiful with amazing views and walks around the farm. Thank you

We have stayed in many Holiday Homes and this would be our favourite by far! It had everything we needed. The kitchen was well stocked with quality cutlery, crockery and cookware. Modern stove and fridge/freezer. Plenty of warm bedding. 2 fires that did a great job of heating the whole house - which was great as it was very cold when we arrived. Large lovely gardens to wander and play in.

Snowdon Lodge is simply wonderful and beautiful. As others have said the pictures don't do it justice. The location with views to the Alps and its great situation on the farm with views from every window make you quiet and impressed. We were four couples and 6 children under five yrs old. The lodge was spacious enough for all of us, while still homey with the authentic large open fireplace and stylish furniture. The bedrooms are spacious with quality linen. The kitchen is well supplied. The wrap around verandah gives protection from sun and rain and the beautiful native gardens with well kept lawns are a safe place for the kids to play around and for a volleyball game for the adults. There were a lot of toys in and outside and otherwise the pig Wilburn, the sheep, the cattle, the Californian quale give entertainment. Bellbird song fills the air. During the day we had a drive up the farm and looked at the sheep being drafted. We enjoyed the BBQ and the hot tub under the clear Canterbury sky. The hosts are very kind and helpful. Certainly a place to visit again.
