We were looking for a peaceful accommodation to rest and clear up the jet lag after long flights from Finland. Lake Coleridge Lodge was a perfect one not only for resting but also for many activity possibilities we found there. The place was tidy and well run, kind hosts Toni and Dean guided us to meet the attractions of the... More

Just back from a weekend away at the Lodge. What a great time! We travelled as an extended family group (9 adults, 5 kids), ages ranging from nearly 90 years old to 15 weeks young! Toni and Dean were great with correspondance pre arrival; making sure we would have everything we needed to make our stay stress free. As mentioned... More

Lake Coleridge Township has an amazing aboretium which is a drawcard for us and is ideally located for lots of day walks with stupendous views of... More

We were a bit nervous with the long trip out to the lodge but wonderful hosts, beautiful meal and service in a warm, homely lodge. Great walks around and the drive up to the lake was pretty. Could imagine it great to relax in after skiing or for a couple just wanting to get away from it all and enjoy... More

After traveling the long flight from Canada to Christchurch, we were looking for a quiet place to unwind, relax and do some walking and exploring. The one hour drive from Christchurch was easy. While the lodge is older it has been recently taken over and rennovated in the past year by a young couple, Toni & Dean, who were absolutely... More

My husband and I have been walking the length of New Zealand on the Te Araroa Trail. It was wonderful to walk off the trail after a very long, tiring day and into a warm welcome at this lodge. Our accommodation was perfect in an ensuite unit, and Toni and Dean were both extremely helpful. They even let us use... More

We escaped Christchurch for a "last minute" night stay in lake Coleridge lodge and were very happy of our choice. The place is very comfortable with all possible amenities. The evening meal was fantastic as was the breakfast. But of all, the best are the owner's kindness. They are always available to show you the best places and things to... More

We decided to visit Lake Coleridge Lodge after a short stay in Christchurch. What a wonderful place to completely relax - or fish - or walk - or do whatever you decide. Toni and Dean and great hosts, friendly and welcoming. The food is excellent, especially dinner in the evening. Superb!! One of the days we had a packed lunch... More
