Located in Otira, 12 km from Devils Punchbowl Falls, Rata Lodge Accommodation provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a shared lounge. The property is non-smoking and is set 13 km from Arthur's Pass Train Station.

We had a great stay at Rata Lodge. The house is charming (with a magnificent view of mount cook ;) ), the kitchen is very well equipped. The hosts made us feel very welcome and gave us lots of advice on nearby walks. I recommend it and will gladly return.

Set in Otira and only 12 km from Devils Punchbowl Falls, Basic, Super 'Cosy' Cabin in The Middle of National Park and Mountains offers accommodation with mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking. The property has garden views and is 13 km from Arthur's Pass National Park and 7.9 km from Temple Basin. The property is non-smoking and is located 13 km from Arthur's Pass Train Station.

A great stay in a great location! We were thankful to have our own cabin to stay in the Otira/Arthur’s Pass area. Gary and Dawn were very helpful and took extra time to ensure that we were aware of what to expect from the cabin, what to make sure to bring, and that we were able to check in without issue. They were proactive and made extra effort to ensure a comfortable stay. They were also very quick to respond to any inquiries ahead of and throughout our stay. Check in and check out were super easy, and Gary and Dawn provided clear instructions and followed up so there was no doubt about getting in and out without issue. On chilly evenings, it felt like a luxury to be able to light a fire in the fireplace. There is also a heater if you need it, but the cabin is well-insulated enough that the cosy hut stayed warm enough through the night long after the fire went out. The kitchen is equipped with the appliances and accessories for preparing meals in the cabin. The cabin is spacious, has a full bathroom inside, and towels and linens are included. We were also surprised at how strong and fast the wifi connection is. Located in the beautiful mountain area, you can view the mountains from the cabin and on a clear night, the stars pop in the sky because it is far from light pollution. An all-around great deal for the area and a great home-base while exploring Otira and Arthur’s pass!

The property features garden views and is 18 km from Arthur's Pass National Park and 13 km from Temple Basin. The property is non-smoking and is situated 17 km from Arthur's Pass Train Station.

Beautifully quiet, blissfully basic hut exactly as described. Warm comfy bed, all kitchen items, clean basic hot shower and toilet just outside. Fab little log burner with logs supplied warmed the cabin beautifully. Stunningly clear night skys, well worth popping outside to look at the stars of its clear! Even the train going past was nowhere near so noisy as I had expected. Perfect minimalist escape.

    We both loved everything about this place. The location is amazing, the accommodation is spotless everywhere and we even arrived to find that the electric blanket had been switched on to make sure that we were comfortable.

    Cosy lodge, great kitchen facilities. Lovely to share the dinner table with other travellers. Appreciated the kettle in our room for an early cup of tea. Gorgeous location and the walk to the waterfall is a must.

    Rata is a jewel in the heart of the Alps. A homestyle facilitiy with nice furniture, and good beds. Location is beautiful, and it really lets people get a sense of Kiwi land. So much respect for the owners as they have lived there 20 years. The land around was magnificent, and I enjoyed walking before sunrise and sitting out the back and seeing the spiral arm of the Milky Way, all the while being soothed by running river and stream water.

    Wonderful, eccentric and historic hotel. The place is amazing for its collections of antiquities and memorabilia - there is not a spare space in the place ! The location is ideal for stopping off while driving between the West Coast and Christchurch. The facilities were good, the room (room 7) was very comfortable, there is a sauna and massage chair in the guest lounge and billiards in the bar. We had a lovely dinner in front of the fire.

    Our stay here was a once in a lifetime experience. A great host; huge comfy 4 poster bed in a spotlessly clean room (number 9); so many interesting things to look at; very good food; cheap drinks; friendly fellow guests all determined to enjoy their stay. Cannot fault this place.
