The Shan's Lodge

Good

Liked: Breakfast was fine, but very basic for a bed and breakfast.Location of main house is superb but not utilised by being in the studio out the back.

Lake Hayes retreat, exceptional spot!

Liked: Location was awesome! We had awesome views and incredibly easy access to lake Hayes being just across the road. The accommodation was very comfortable and spacious. It was clean, well organized and provided us a great relaxing time away

not good

Liked: No breakfast no office no room cleaning no lights in carpark at night felt abandoned

Comfortable room but no views.

Liked: Right across from Lake Hayes with access to walkway. Comfortable bed.
Disliked: Lilac studio is round the back with none of the views you see in the photos. Didn't feel like we could access the front patio and enjoy the hot tub or outdoor chairs there as felt part of the front units.

Exceptional

Cozy and calming

Liked: Super cozy! Loved that we could just come and go and how easy it was to ‘check-in’. Location was absolutely stunning. Not too far out from town itself! Bed was so so comfortable. Loved the little amenities, having lots of dvds was such a cute take. We loved coming back at the end of a long day and popping one on to fall asleep. Bath was absolutely incredible! Overall very lovely little stay.
Disliked: The water temperature for the shower was very niggly. You’d turn it the slightest touch towards cold and it would be freezing and when turning it towards hot would be boiling. Shower head could also do with a really good clean.

Pleasant

Disliked: Would prefer to be met and welcomed.No milk in fridge, no answe when we tried to ring.

Sweet home

Liked: Very nice owner, Lake view

Everything we Needed

Liked: Everything we needed was there: extra blankets so we could adjust the bedding temperature: very well equipped kitchen: beautiful bathroom and laundry: extra touches like dvd's and bathrobes.Well insulatedAn easy drive to Queenstown and Arrowtown.Was private but hosts were very quick to respond to any questions.
Disliked: Just a personal preference but I'd like a softer pillow in the choices.
