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.

The house was just as described and seen in the photos. Simply Stunning. The panty and kitchen were fully stocked and the instructions and communication was excellent. Music system was awesome. Great place for walks along the lake as well as all the house has to offer.

A luxury stay in a stunning and tranquil location

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.

Simply Amazing

Fantastic place to stay - house was amazing. We had a family of five and a grandparent and enough room for all of us comfortably. Great place to hit the slopes and relax afterwards. We highly recommend it.
