Skyrim Lodge

Skyrim Lodge

8/10 Good
"Checked into this property last minute on our trek in South Island, NZ. Very comfortable, spacious and safe neighborhood. The house/apartment had all amenities needs for you stay. We were able to wash clothes and refreshing up really well. The only thing we did not realize was that there was a washing machine, but no dryer. The property did provide a dry rack so we hung our clothes overnight and it dried perfectly. My wife and sister law loved star gazing from the back porch of the property. I highly recommend this property."
