I am currently enjoying my second stay this year at The Hobbit. The facilities here are excellent as is the friendly and helpful service. The unit is immaculately clean and well set out. I'm already looking forward to my next excuse to come down for another stay here.

We had a fantastic stay at The Hobbit Motor Lodge. Friendly helpful service, clean tidy room with adequate facilities, comfortable beds, lovely shower with good pressure and fantastic spa! We stayed in the lodge studio with ensuite. It had a shared kitchen which was kept very clean. Loved our stay, would recommend to others and would stay again.

I stayed at The Hobbit for 3 nights and have to say the place is very pleasant. Great location: between the town, the ski field road access and many hiking paths. Great accommodation: Rooms are huge, very comfortable and warm. Great staff: lovely and helpfully! I arrived very late but Leigh was still at the office waiting for my arrival.... More

We needed a motel last-minute after we couldn't get into our batch, and fortunately managed to get a 5 bed unit at the Hobbit. The unit had 2 bedrooms (one with a queen bed, the other with two singles) and an extra single bed in the living room. The kitchen had all the essentials for us to cook a good... More

The rooms here are very basic and the walls were quite thin, but it was very cheap. Also the rooms were quite cold.

I stayed in the backpacker wing, which was very cosy. The owners thoughtfully put me into a 2-person dorm, which I had to myself for the first couple of nights - bonus! The owners really went out of their way to help out, and the spa is a real treat. Only downside is the kitchen is a bit on the... More
