Great Whanau getaway
Great Communication
There were 18 of us so well worth it for the price of just a little over $20 a night each. Fireplace is awesome but down it the bathroom was very cold! If you like the basics then you will be fine. Be prepared to give it a little bit of a clean wipe down when you arrive as there was evidence of rodents. Other then that great place.

Old school scout lodge.
The previous guests hadn’t least the place in the tidiest condition which didn’t give the best initial impression. After a vacuum and air-out we had an enjoyable stay. The fire kept the place very warm.

Repeat visit
Second year in a row that we've stayed here for Labour Weekend. Was peaceful and quiet, ideally located for a range of activities nearby. Kids enjoyed gathering dead wood for the outdoor firepit, played boardgames into the evening, enjoyed the view of Ruapehu while sitting outside. Gorgeous location.

Great for a varied group
A group of 7 people wanted to do the Crossing, so we decided to make a long weekend of it. Partners, kids, the kitchen sinks, all packed away. As a Scouting family we were prepared for basic but functional, and it didn't disappoint in any way. We put the kids in one bunk room, and then adults bunked everywhere else. Those not doing the crossing prepared food, played games and popped in to Ohakune. Others went for shorter walks nearby. Was great and everyone wants to make it an annual thing.

Easy comms, easy to find. Great base to go explore central Mtns. We took an extra stove top to ease the pressure of cooking, worked well. Heaps of fridge space and oodles of fire wood!! Enjoyable time away.

Great value for large groups
A characterful old lodge in a large grassy meadow surrounded by native bush. The lodge is rustic but comfortable enough, and unbeatable value at this price. Close to the mountains, Ohakune and National Park townships for supermarket, playgrounds, bushwalks etc. Fire pit was great and log burner works well, lots of good firewood supplied. Kitchen well equipped, lounge is basic but comfy, bathrooms and bunk rooms adequate. Worked well for our extended family’s Christmas gathering. Thank you.

We enjoy staying at The David Frisken Lodge, we have stayed before. And both times it was comfortable and easy because notices were placed on walls to help us enjoy the facilities. Well equipped in the kitchen. Remote and restful.

Be prepared
The place was really good value for a big group, with all the necessary amenities.
Only issue was that our group found the house to be quite cold. The fire heats the lounge area somewhat, but not the bedrooms. It’s a great place but if going in winter, I’d suggest bringing your own heaters and extra blankets.

Whanau Snow Trip
Access and instructions were on point. Thanks Phillip. We read other review comments so we prepared ourselves to have to clean the place when we arrived. It wasn't too bad but we gave it a good clean anyway. Plenty of fire wood, dishes, basic but everything you need. We took down some sheets to cover the couches which made a big difference. Our group had 7 adults, 7 kids. We all loved it. Will be back

Good for groups
We enjoyed our stay for the size group we had, the place was well equipped to our needs, very basic but all essentials are there although I would suggest possibly some nicer furniture and curtains, was nice to have an outdoor fire toasting marshmallows though and not many places allow that so that was a bonus.
Thankyou

Good economical choice for large groups
Good choice, on a budget. Close to ohakune and National Park. Very basic, but had what was needed. It would have been good to be warned that the ladies shower mixer is unusual and needs to be on cold for hot water to come out There was also quite a bit of construction/ renovation material in the drying area which covered the wall heater to dry our snow gear which we had to move in order to use it. But once we figured that out, it worked well
