So I have already mentioned the mud, food and drink....what else is there to tell you? Well not much really. The weekend was just the thing we needed and we couldn't have picked a better place to stay.
I can't help but wonder if part of what made this place so good were the hosts Lou and Ben (I assume they are married but they have different last names) They have been looking after the property and it's guests for the last 12 months now (the lodge only opened in 2004) and have only had 2 days off in that time!!!! They live in the cottage about 100 metres from the lodge and are in at 7am usually and then stay through until dinner and drinks are over and most guests have retired to their cosy rooms with those toasty fireplaces. Anything you need they will get for you and they also serve the meals. Ben is one of the cooks and takes over when the other 2 regular chefs have their days off. They were nice to talk to and obviously like what they are doing otherwise I am sure those sort of hours would drive you crazy.
So that just about wraps up our weekend away. It is definitely somewhere we would like to visit again. Oh and on the trip back down the hill with Ben in his 4WD he mentioned how a BMW Z4 made it up the hill in the mud after we arrived! He sure knew how to make a man feel inadequate!
