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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
