Perfect place for a romantic winter getaway. Stunning grounds, great room with lovely views, the lodge was cozy and the food was great - the breakfast in particular was amazing. Dinner was expensive but it didn’t disappoint and convenient onsite. No TV in the room but no need with the cozy fireplace. Bed was comfortable with nice linen. Mini fridge, good tea and coffee making facilities. Spa bath wasn’t working unfortunately but enjoyed the sauna. Would 100% recommend this place for a couple. Would also be a great place for a small conference, executive meeting or retreat.

This hotel was indeed a special find even though road access was more difficult - narrow gravel road - it was worth it! Lovely accommodation with great breakfast included in room rate. We enjoyed dinner the previous evening which was also excellent with a good selection of wines.
Views were magnificent and staff welcoming and friendly.
A wonderful stay.

For those who prioritize their vehicle's performance on unpaved roads and rough surfaces, it's worth noting that the access road may not meet your expectations. While the staff provided good service, there were areas for improvement regarding the food and accommodations. The dinner offered was a set menu consisting of an entrée, main course, and dessert. However, at a price of $110 per person, many may find the portion sizes to be inadequate and the overall value lacking compared to dining at a traditional restaurant.

Although the presentation of the dishes was appealing, the flavors were somewhat disappointing, and the meat was dry. Additionally, potential guests should be aware that the advertised bathtub in the room may not be functional. This issue is noted in the information booklet provided, yet it is not mentioned on the website, which could lead to confusion. While there are amenities like a sauna and spa, they may not provide the intimate experience couples are seeking.

Everything is amazing!

Fantastic hilltop views and large clean units. Felt a bit dated and there were a few small issues - jacuzzi tub not functional “due to unavailable parts” (according to the note). Very delicious food in the restaurant. I’d stay again - especially if I had some friends with us. But beware - there is a very challenging drive up to the property.

Absolutely loved this beautiful Lodge!
The Breakfast & Dinner was excellent!
My only advice is to make sure the shower control pads are cleaned properly & onetap in my bathroom was broken.
Will still highly recommend Woodhouse Lodge.

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.

Panoramic Perfection. Intriguing Infrastructure. Helpful Hosts. Pleasant Peacocks and Pukekos. Rambling Rabbits. Great Gardens. Lovely Lodges. My heartfelt thanks to the wonderful staff and all concerned for making our 38th wedding anniversary weekend a resounding success. PTL

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.

VERY remote but well worth the drive up the gravel road. The property itself is wonderful.

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.

A little remote down an unpaved road, but certainly well worth it once you arrive. Very peaceful and beautiful place. Great restaurant.
Only small suggestion is to add USB charging for foreigner traveler’s convenience.

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.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Very luxurious and will book again.

My only comment would be the road to the property was quite scary and dangerous. We drive a 4WD Ute and I’m so glad we do because we arrived in the evening and it was raining quite heavily. The roads became muddy and slippery and there is no lighting on the road.

Other than that amazing stay!

Probably the nicest place for the money I’ve EVER stayed. Quiet, beautiful setting with spacious, luxurious accommodations. Lodge is situated on top of a hill with panoramic views. “Villas” are widely spaced with big windows and verandahs to take in scenery. Generous tiled en-suite with two-headed shower, spa bath. Luxury is the word that comes to mind.

Luxury!

My husband and I stayed for one night for our 5 year wedding anniversary. We were greeted by lovely staff for our checkin. Very warm and welcoming.

We stayed in Villa 10 which was a short walking distance to the pool and spa. We used both of these facilities. There is also a sauna that we didn’t get a chance to use.

The Villa was beautifully furnished. It had a modern rustic feel. The bathroom is huge with a shower for two, seperate basins and a bath.

The bed was my absolute favourite thing. It was so comfortable and the pillows, linen and duvet were just luxurious. They provided a beautiful sleep mist also. Such incredible small touches.

We loved the gas fireplace which we used to warm up after our spa / swim.

We had the 3 course meal and a cheeseboard. Every meal was so well thought through and absolutely delicious. The eye fillet is the best steak I’ve had, compliments to the chef. 5 star quality!

There was also delicious shortbread provided in the room with the tea and coffee options. A breakfast is also included in the price, good range of choices.

My husband and I wished we’d had two nights there. It was just so peaceful and relaxing. We definitely would stay here again and absolutely recommend it. You can feel how much love and effort is put into every detail.

Thank you for the amazing hospitality.

This property is lovely. Rooms atre decorated well and clean. Lovely flowers and double showers. Stylish furnishings and lovely touches like baked biscuits on arrival, an espresso maker and umbrellas. Beds comfortable and linen great. Disappointing the spa baths did not work. The restaurant and main lodge area is beautifully decorated. The staff are friendly and the food lovely. Special thank you to the head chef who specially made a cheese soufflé for me. The dining room is lovely and the breakfasts superb. Overall I would highly recommend this property.
