My family of 3 stayed over for a night here. We checked in pretty early like slightly past 2pm. We had a great lunch. It is so good that we could still get vegetarian food prepared accordingly to our request in this mountainous area. After lunch we checked out the surrounding areas. One can do mountain biking here or chill at the cafe. There are a lot of board / card games available at the cafe and even can play pool. The area is not big and we comb the whole area within one minute or two. After exploring the area, we decide to rest in our room. Peacefulness and silent were broken once our neighbors next door checked in. We could hear them going up and jumping from the double bunk bed and it just keeps going till they rest for the night. We have our dinner at the cafe again. My family was so glad they served vegetarian options here.

We visited Porters Lodge once again on our way to the annual Coast to Coast race. This is our 5th year in a row and we've booked again for next year. Its a magic place to stay up in the mountains. Yes it's a 5 km gravel road, so look after your car or camper and DRIVE SLOW! The views are worth it. The rooms and facilities are clean and tidy and as you would expect from this kind of lodge :-) There is powered and non powered parking for motorhomes too. A good selection of beer & wine and some great pub grub. Thanks team :-) Rob, Brenda and the rest of the kayaking gang

The location of the lodge is great. Close to Castle Rock and 55 min away from Arthur’s Pass. The short dirt road allows you to feel like you are in the wilderness. We came as a family and the loader was comfortable and the staff very friendly. The kids enjoyed the board games and the game room. The food was good to top it all!

We stayed one night as a stop over - there is a little drive from the main road. They provide really nice evening meals. Heater in the room. Friendly staff. Great coffee. Gets a little wind exposed in the night which woke me up - but nothing too major. I would recommend this place.

If you are looking for a special place with you Campervan, you will find it at Porters Alpine Lodge. After 5km of gravel road you are deep in the mountains and find a magical place, great food (burger) and beer as well as a magnificent sunset and sunrise.

Incredibly rude male staff member and the 6km gravel track to get there broke our van! Weird showers with clear doors, no separate cubicles so zero privacy. No one else was staying at the same time as us and I can see why. Would not recommend you wasting your time driving there.

The lodge is located close to the skiing field in lovely surroundings (which is why I booked it), and is great for kids to play outside on the snow if the weather is good. The views are lovely from around the lodge. However, the accommodation is below the pub, small, with thin walls. Our room had no windows, apart from a skylight high up in the ceiling which leaked (a photo attached, includes the bucket to catch the water from the skylight). The only social area outside of the room was the pub. So, if you are there on busy winter afternoon/evenings it is possible you may not be able to find a place to sit and relax/play cards/read a book. It may have been a lovely private ski lodge some time ago, but turning it into a pub, accommodation for guests, and accommodation for staff is a stretch too far in my opinion I am afraid. The two small ladies showers and two ladies toilets were shared with the pub.
