The staff were very friendly and helpful.
The tv dint work
DavidNew ZealandOk, but disappointed as feels like we were deceived regarding location in particular.
Spacious and plenty of heating options. Clean and nice linen, towels etc
It’s a significant distance from the main accomodation area, which promotes a cafe and hot tubs. Being 500m away, it’s the accomodation we stayed…

Questions about LKNZ Lodge & Cafe
What time is check-in and check-out at LKNZ Lodge & Cafe?
Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does LKNZ Lodge & Cafe allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at LKNZ Lodge & Cafe?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Is breakfast included at LKNZ Lodge & Cafe?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does LKNZ Lodge & Cafe have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does LKNZ Lodge & Cafe have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book LKNZ Lodge & Cafe?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
