Aigle District accommodation from NZ$301

On arrival the staff were very helpful and friendly. The room was was bigger than expected and had a balcony with stunning views of distant mountains. Our son loved his bunk bed with integrated light and USB charger. There was a separate toilet and shower room but no bath. We also missed tea and coffee making facilties though were able to borrow an iron. The lodge was in a great location for our summer exploring and we look forward to returning one day.

We had a fantastic time here. The staff went above and beyond, and the on-site restaurant was a real highlight — genuinely excellent food and service that made the trip. The views are spectacular and worth the visit on their own. A couple of practical notes for future guests. The hot tub runs cooler than what we're used to in the US — I'd estimate around 90–95°F — so if you like it piping hot, just set your expectations accordingly. It's still lovely, just more of a warm soak than a hot one. Also, it's a bit of a walk from the train station. That was totally manageable in summer, but I'm honestly not sure how it would go in snow. If you're visiting in winter, I'd check with the property beforehand about whether they run a shuttle — worth verifying before you book. Internet was usable for email, did not try a video call. None of this took away from a truly great stay. We'd happily return.

Everything was amazing. Every person who we met was amazing. Views are to die for. 10/10
