Jen was an outstanding host- incredibly attentive, helpful and kind. Allowed us to drop our bags and ensured the room was ready as early as possible. The room was very clean too! There was so much detail/ thought put in the room - a great selection of complementary breakfast, tea and coffee, even though we didn't need it there was even an umbrella. Overall an outstanding stay - thank you very much for having us 😊

Featuring a hot tub and BBQ facilities, Altamont Lodge is just 1 km from Lake Wanaka. You can relax by the fireplace in the guest lounge, or enjoy a meal in the communal kitchen and dining area.

Really love small lodge with friendly staff and very well equipped kitchen. Hadn’t read about the hot tub which was an added bonus. Slightly out of the centre but didn’t matter to us. Only couple of minute drive to main part of town.

    Excellent accommodation with a stunning view - so peaceful and relaxing and the shower was to die for. So much better than staying in town and well worth the short drive out to Mt Barker Farmstay. A perfect base for daytrips around the region - thank you our lovely host, we appreciated the beautiful environment and quiet downtime.
