We stayed at Grasmere Lodge for four nights and found it to be a remarkable place. It is in a large open area surrounded by mountains and the feeling of isolation was wonderful. Tom, Jo and their staff were very friendly and informative and the food and wine were superb. Tom offers a tour of the area which is well... More

We have stayed here 3 times in the past 4 years. Most recently we had 4 rooms and occupied the whole of the Mountain chalet. Grasmere is not cheap but it is excellent value. Rooms are vast and superbly equipped - big comfortable beds with piles of pillows. Log effect gas fires are very warm and fit the setting -... More

We only stayed 2 days but wished we could have stayed 2 weeks, 2 months, forever? This is just a stunning place! The lodge itself is gorgeous and the surrounding area amazingly pretty. The staff is wonderfully welcoming and friendly, and the food awesome - this is truly a special place! More

We stayed at Grasmere Lodge around this time last year and loved it so stayed again this past weekend - it has got even better if that is possible! The food was fabulous and the lodge grounds looked amazing. All of the lodge staff are just so nice and natural and go out of their way to ensure that you... More

We returned to Grasmere one year after our first visit to the Lodge. Many high end lodges in New Zealand and Australia are located in beautiful surroundings, but Grasmere has not only a gorgeous mountain setting but it also has warm and wonderful people who staff the lodge. Everyone who works there seems to love being there and welcoming their... More

As the gale force winds came in, we could imagine the sheep farmers who set up Grasmere, entirely isolated in the glorious and bleak valley in which the lodge sits, seeking shelter in a draugty barn or snuggling for warmth with a merino sheep. Such musings taking place from one of the extremely luxurious chalets as we settled down to... More

Two days of total indulgence. From the moment we arrived, Tom and his team of hospitality professionals went above and beyond ensuring we had a stay, we'll never forget. The high country views were simply stunning. Dining was another highlight with outstanding cuisine and wine list to match! More

We felt as if we were guests at a private house party while at the Grasmere Lodge. The property looks like the old TV show, "The Big Valley." Jo greeted us at the door, not letting us lift a finger. Tom hosted us for our all too short visit. The main house is so warm and comfortable, we almost wished... More
