Beautiful views of lake . From our lodge bedroom. the staff were so helpful . thank you Chloe . It would be helpful to have a concrete path thru the lawn area by the lodge rooms to get to and from cars . It was so wet and held rain on the lawn area could not avoid getting shoes wet. The rooms are clean and warm. Bed very comfortable. The main lounge comfortable with bar and coffee lovely fire in evenings. there is a ping pong table . No pool table. lovely surrounding bird song and peaceful. I would go again in summer and probably rent suites with car access to door Very helpful dog friendly

Lake Okataina lodge is tucked away from the beaten track, sitting on the foreshore of a pristine lake and surrounded by native bush. The Lodge itself is framed by soft lawns, hydrangea plants etc on the edge but also native trees and bushes which come right up to the lodge where all the chattering bird life ‘hang out’. With some TLC this would make an awesome ‘eco lodge/retreat’ getaway. The Lodge still has all the aesthetic bones of what it was in its heyday (I stayed there once before 30 years ago) but unfortunately has been neglected. I understand from talking to the lovely and friendly current host he would love to part of bringing it back to shine and I wish all the best.
