We thought this lodge was expensive for what we got - not good value for money at all. But that is probably due to its location, close to the National Padk. We stayed in the lodge itself and the room was very small with a really tiny bathroom - nothing like the photos on Hotels.com. It was cold when we arrived and it took the small heater provided a long time to heat the room. The breakfast was very basic - left in fridge for us.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Nice big room but right next to noisy highway, so we got very little sleep. Shower awful
Positives - location was handy to the crossing. Bed was comfortable and the room was a good size with everything I needed. Check in was fast and friendly. Beautiful views. The cleaning was great and staff turned on the heated towel rail and heater when they knew I had been out on the crossing for the day - nice touch!
Things that could have been better - was not advised that the road the lodge was on was closed at certain times of the day so I could not actually get to the lodge until after 4.30pm when the road opened. Wifi is terrible. Shower pressure is terrible. No check out guidance provided nor any room directory with local info etc. All milk pottles provided were at least a week past use by date.
