Vanceburg accommodation from NZ$138

We only stayed one night. We enjoyed the wildlife and the calm and serenity of the lodge. I never knew it existed but we will be back again.

Traveling as a family of 5 is tough to plan and our teens are too big to share hotel spaces these days. Our stay was perfect for our family. The property is magic and our teens spent a lot of time exploring the trails and creek. We would love to come back when we can stay longer. So peaceful and just right for us!

The couple (I believe they are a couple) who own this place are incredible. So, nice, so accommodating, such a lovely couple of people. However, I do need to be honest. The place was not great. * Let me preface and say that I am not a high maintenance person, if there are scuffs, dents and dings in places - I don't care, that's normal. But, I do need to point out that the sheets reeked of cigarette smoke. It got so bad at the end of the night when I laid my head on the pillow that I needed to spray my perfume on them pretty heavily just to be able to sleep. There were a couple of dead bug bodies smooshed to the wall, where you could tell someone smashed them and just left them and no one cleaned them up. There was a booger on the wall next to the bed and that was pretty obvious to the naked eye if you were looking. The hair dryer, and the soap dispensers were covered in dust. The water pressure in the tub was so/so - it would be normal for five minutes then shoot out at high speed and be super loud then go back to normal. The air conditioner worked well but it was a little loud and annoying at time, but after a while, I was able to ignore it. And, lastly there was a security light right outside my room, which I get is needed, and I don't wish anyone to fall or not be able to see outside, but I think if they're going to keep it in that location then they should invest in better curtains/ blinds, because the light was extremely visible at night.
