Winthrop accommodation from NZ$156

I like that the cabin is well equipped with heat, electrical(plenty of outlets for charging phones), hot water, refrigerator, microwave, table & chairs. It was perfect for our group of 4, allowing us to bring foods that could easily be reheated. The only things that could be enhanced would be to move the toilet paper hanger a little farther forward(cabin 6), & to install a different light above the center of the room(one that shines brighter straight down). The current light is fine for the room, but didn’t give quite enough light for playing cards. Also, there was a big gap in the front door that allowed cold air to constantly disperse a cold draft into the room. Every night we jammed newspaper into the gap between the floor & wall to stop the cold from entering. The door needs to be straightened, stiffened, & the sill needs to be redone.

Such a great deal if you want a home base for a skiing or hiking trip. They have wonderful homemade food for breakfasts, included in your stay. The cabins with the hot tubs are well worth it for after skiing in winter and the kitchens are great for making your own food. The setting is in between, it’s a little too far for walking into town and not far out enough to be really in nature. But as I said it’s a great deal for a home base.

Love this place but the restaraunt is over rated.
