THE LODGE

The character of the lodge at Mt. Nicholas is an extension of the natural surroundings. Nestled in a secluded and private setting, the 80 year old lodge has been adapted from the property's original homestead, offering all the comforts of home with almost every window providing a spectacular view.
The rolling lawns, large flagstone paved verandas and mature garden setting all add to the unique environment.

As a guest you will enjoy a friendly, family like atmosphere and be served the very best of local produce, much of which is grown (or raised) on the station itself. The hearty breakfasts, gourmet lunches and traditional evening meals, as prepared by Adrienne in the large country style kitchen, will be sure to satisfy every appetite. Her expert knowledge of New Zealand wines will ensure the dining experience is complete.

The Accommodation

The lodge has three separate bedrooms, one with an ensuite, two with separate bathroom facilities; the maximum number of guests at any time is five single guests or three couples.

If complete privacy is required, a single party can be accommodated by special arrangement.

Breakfast and lunch, often informal, is served in the large family kitchen, while evening dining in the lounge, with its spectacular views and large roaring fire, is intimate and relaxing.

Because Mt. Nicholas Station only caters to small numbers, you are guaranteed that your stay will be personalised to suit your individual requirements.
