SPA/B&B — Hotel in South Island

From a athletic, active guy who has massages every 8 weeks or so, Iv had some good massages and poor ones...||||This was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Walking in the front door Iwas filled with the Aroma and instantly felt relaxed. ||||Also Entered with quite a lot of pain from injuries, but massively soothed and loosened with the touch of a pair of Italian healing hands. Her procedures really stretched and aided; Very much like a posture realignment. Was so happy with that treatment alone! However It did get better when she did iron out every crease and ache when oil was applied. “Darntough” fingers and elbows too. ||||Can honestly say one of the best deep tissues iv ever had. Will be requesting her for the next time, she’s definitely one of a kind. (Hope she’s available, sorry I never managed to catch her name) ||||Room a good size with very fitting decor, felt warm and cosy considering it was a very cold day outside. can only condemn the bed ever so slightly. Was abit squeaky for my liking. But minor things. ||||Overall, a wonderful treatment that totally exceeded what I needed to loosen me up! ||||Thank you all and see you...

Firstly I would like to say that the room & communal areas were very well decorated. I cannot fault the decor at all. Very comfortable bed, lovely view and I very much enjoyed the hot tub. There were also lovely dressing gowns in the wardrobe. The only let down is the amount of noise in the morning. Our room was right off of the kitchen which is a communal dining area for all of the rooms. We were woken up at 06:00 as the host was making breakfast for the guests. It was very loud and consistent noise for at least an hour. Cooking noises (frying pan & pans clinking etc,) kitchen cupboard doors banging, washing up, there was a lot of noise. There was absolutely no chance of getting back to sleep afterwards. I like to get up early on holiday but 06:00 was too early to be making so much...

A beautiful little lodge in Frankton 10 minutes walk from the bus station and local restaurants. Only 15 min drive from town and there are shuttle buses to the ski hills. The rooms have panoramic views of the mountains and the lake and are very comfortable. The hot tub has a great view of the lake and is a must! The host Josef picked me up from the airport even though my flight was delayed late into the night. We chatted regularly during my stay and even went for a ski together on my last day. I can't wait to stay at Josef's little piece of paradise...
