Ideal for nature-lovers looking for a self-sufficient getaway, lodges are fully furnished and self-catered. Usually made of wood and surrounded by forests or mountains, lodges can be part of a group or a single unit. More remote than holiday homes, lodges are popular for safari trips.
Beautiful lodge with great facilities. It is quiet and peaceful. My little Pug, Pixel, travelled with me as he had an operation in Hamilton. There are a lot of grassy areas for dogs to get a good run here. The room was very clean and new. The bed was one of the most comfortable I have ever slept in.
The owners were lovely. They were kind enough to give me a big discount on my second night.
I definitely recommend Podium Lodge.
Great location & room.
Friendly & helpful staff
Across the road is a great cafe.
Room does have coffee & microwave.
Podium Lodge is very close to Waikato river cycleway & Velodrome.
In a quiet rural location, the lodging was a wonderful place to stay while exploring the area around Cambridge and Hamilton. With 2 bedrooms, we had space to spread out. Our host was welcoming (with fresh bread and fruit) and helpful. The place was spotless with a huge bathroom. There were plenty of fruit trees in the yard for those interested...and cows, sheep and horses just down the driveway.
Podium Lodge is perfectly located for doing anything in the surrounding region.
The units were well sized, comfortable and easy to warm with the aircon.
I found the kitchenette perfect for us to utilise and the beds were warm and cosy
Booked late. Really friendly and helpful receptionist. Room facilities, especially kitchen and shower room, exceptional. The lodge has a real personality.
