The Mountain View Chalet and Riverview Cottage are built in a modern alpine style with spacious interiors and the atmosphere of a private, cosy hideaway. At the heart of the Lodge is the original farm homestead, which is home to a large comfortable lounge, dining room and Mountain Spa, offering indulgent pampering and therapeutic massages. Sample delicious dishes that incorporate seasonal and locally grown produce, from breakfasts on the veranda and intimate evening meals with fellow guests. Unwind on a lounger by the pool, go fishing, horse riding and hiking in the picturesque valleys or kayaking on guided trips to explore beautiful alpine lakes.
