I loved my time at Woodhouse! The property was so beautiful. I loved the long, private drive up to the lodge with all the birds and animals. The food at the lodge was delectible, and they had a great wine and cocktail selection. Customer service was incredible - special mention to Ms. Sharleen who gave us great recommendations and was just so kind and welcoming. I would definitely recommend staying here!

Stunning accommodation and location.

My husband and I treated ourselves to a night at Woodhouse the night before departing New Zealand. It is only an hour and a half from Auckland airport despite being quite out of the way in amongst hilly sheep farms. Everything was wonderful...views, decor, food. The main lodge and the cabins have been beautifully decorated. Cabins are large with ample living area including a fireplace and a large bathroom with double shower and spa tub. Dinner and breakfast were delicious. Customer service was excellent. My only complaint...our spa bath and gas fireplace did not work.

Shouted the hubby one night away without the kids. Only an hour away from where we live. Amazing view, so nice & peaceful. Only downfall was the driveway to the place was narrow & we could not see upcoming vehicles approaching around the windy roads. The meals were overpriced a three course dinner (small portions) was $118 & breakfast was a-lot more. Otherwise overall a nice short getaway.

Nice, not great

Woodside Mountain Lodge is a nice hotel in a lovely location once you have driven the twists and turns of the five km of mostly gravel track to find it. Staff members were all very nice indeed. Breakfast and dinner were unremarkable; this is not haute cuisine. We think that they need to do more to merit the four stars.

Mountain Retreat

Disappointing that the spa bath in room was non operational and apparently all spa baths were the same. Shower complicated control system. Tried to go fancy but failed. Included breakfast good but doesn't start until 8am. Dinner nice but exorbitantly overpriced. Single lane gravel road into property dangerous with lots of blind corners and cars travelling too fast. Had a number of near misses.

Excellent. Make the detour here!

We chose this to break the journey to Russell but, could not have been more pleased. 5km down a single track dirt road, slowly climbing up a dirt road. An amazing journey to get there and well worth it. DEFINITELY book dinner. Delicious food and a real destination hotel. We will definitely come back and would recommend.
