Fantastic
This is the second time we have stayed at Oraka Lodge for a week of skiing and we loved it just as much second time around. It is a top quality place with great views, super warm inside with under floor heating and a great spa for soak after a day up the slopes. Everything was perfect.
Rebecca
Hands down, this was the best airbnb we have stayed in. Amazing home and breathtaking views. Cosy and welcoming with every detail thought of. The whole process from start to finsh was easy and professional. 5stars all around. Perfect in every way. Thank you
Millie
All the bells and whistles
Excellent property with all the bells and whistles you would expect at this price point. The location offers a peaceful escape without being too far from places like grocery stores and coffee shops. The house is big enough to host a large group, with bedroom placements and number of bathrooms making it feel like each person/couple has their own space. Amenities in the house were fantastic, including the speaker system, spa, gas fireplace and automatic blinds. Heaps of different sitting areas meant we could enjoy the spectacular views from different perspectives. If you stay here, I recommend you take the short walk down to the waters edge and jetty. It’s truly peaceful. The house has clearly been designed to handle the colder weather with in-floor heating and outdoor heat bars, which allowed us to spend more time enjoying the location. Deb was also an awesome host, providing some useful tips during our stay and ensuring we felt comfortable interacting with the various features of the house. Bedding was also super comfortable with luxury linen. Overall we had an amazing stay and would highly recommend.
Tim
Beautiful location, surrounded on both sides by spectacular mountain ranges and, of course, the lake. Home beautifully appointed. Deborah was a fabulous host.
Gracie
What an amazing part of the world! The home was absolutely perfect for our family holiday. It had everything you could want and a guestbook which detailed everything. Deborah was super helpful and a great communicator. We hope to come back for another stay!
Robyn
Oraka Lodge is fantastic! Our group had the most amazng time. Lots of spaces to relax, 1 bathroom per room was a treat, the kitchen is well stocked, and we enjoyed the hot tub, fire places, inbuilt speakers connecting to spotify and outdoor heaters. This house is a gem and we couldn't get enough of the views. Deborah is wonderful. She met us on arrival, took the time to make sure we had all the info we needed at check in and very prompt with communication. We would love to stay again in the future.
Helen
We really loved our stay at the house, it is very spacious and warm with everything you could want. The spa pool and outdoor fireplace were wonderful and the views are spectacular. What a special place to come and stay!
Justine
From booking our stay right through to checking out Deborah was a fantastic host. The house is spectacular, views are amazing and location is great. Waking up to see snow capped mountains right outside every window was stunning. Also this home was so cosy and warm with under floor heating, and multiple fire places. We are a family of 6 and this home suited our large family perfectly. What was also an added bonus with this home is all the little extras, the kitchen had everything you could possibly need and more. Everything in this home has been well thought out. The thing I loved the most was how many indoor & outdoor beautiful spaces are in this home. Every space is beautiful.

Great Location
Really nice house in a great location
Devon
This place is magnificent!
'This place is magnificent! The views are impossible to describe or capture with photos. Stunning view of the Remarkables on one side, and the lake backdropped by more snow capped peaks on the other. And the house was gorgeous. Tall vaulted ceilings. Perfect indoor outdoor flow. Two huge outdoor areas. A fire pit. An outdoor fireplace. 4 extremely comfortable bedrooms. And even an office if you have to sneak away to work a bit. And to top it off, a lake packed with Chinook Salmon for the fisher-folks, which made for some delicious BBQs! A perfect holiday stay for two families with kids.'
Hayley
Wow what a place to stay!
'Wow what a place to stay! The house is great!!! Views out of all the doors and windows. It’s a spacious house on quite a big section. We went with our two kids and there was plenty of space for our son to run around. The two outdoor fire places were great! The spa was hot and relaxing! We were lucky enough to have a spa while it snowed one day! The house is warm. We had cold temps when there but would never know if when inside the house. It has everything you need. The kitchen is super well stocked with table wear and appliances etc. the study has adults and kids board games and books. Outdoor games in the garage. Comfortable beds. I loved waking up in the morning, opening the curtains and seeing the mountains in front of me. There are so many areas to be in outside. It would be great in summer as well. It’s just a walk down to the lake. My son loved playing down there and you can go for a big walk with the lake right next to you. The host...Deborah was so quick to reply and organised everything we needed. Thanks for a great stay!!!'

Beautifully presented
Thanks so much for being so accommodating.  We've thoroughly enjoyed our holiday. Please pass on to the property owners how well equipped and beautifully presented the house was.  We've recommended it on to quite a few people already.
