The Doug

This is the second time we have visited The Doug Log House. My husband and I just love it here. The snow has been great. I love the views from this house. Look forward to coming back.

Absolute luxury in the mountains, thanks so much!

Have watched the growth of The Doug over the last years, but nothing prepares you for the awesome reality. Really a fantastic place.

Another pack of Aussies returned to The Doug for a longer stay to enjoy the skiing and Castle Hill. We enjoyed settling into The Doug and making the most of this awesome log home. I fear I will yet again have to drag [my partner] away at the end of our stay. The kids love the playground at Castle Hill, especially the tree which is slowly growing into a tree house. We hope to return again next year, or [maybe even] fit in a fishing trip later in the year. Can’t say enough about The Doug, we love it! Thanks for letting us stay.

You have the most beautiful and unique house. This place really added to our perfect wedding weekend; we will be back whenever possible.

Awesome house, awesome everything! Loved staying at The Doug Log House.

Thank you so much for last minute accommodations at your beautiful home! The weather was great and our family loved the rocks at Castle Hill. We only wish we had more time to explore this amazing area. Next time…

Beautiful home in a beautiful place! We loved having The Doug as our home away from home for a couple days. A lovely way to end our three week holiday in stunning New Zealand! Thanks!! 🙂

Our first trip to NZ! Castle Hill was the second place on our tour of the South Island, and we couldn’t have picked a more beautiful house and place to stay. We’ve had a wonderful time and will not forget this place in a hurry.

Thank you so much – your house is fantastic – we had a wonderful 4 nights – and were so warm! Lots of room and the kids loved the foosball table.

Great time, sadly not much snow but was still amazing. We very much enjoyed The Doug and hope to be back soon!

We absolutely loved our stay here and would have extended it if we could have cancelled our other reservation!

Heaven on Castle Hill!! … We found a beautiful log cabin on a hill, filled with love and memories from previous residents and its owners. We have had such a lovely, relaxing weekend… We will definitely be back! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.

We had an amazing time; no snow but loved the house, trampoline, day trips. This place is magical! Can’t wait to come back.

We loved it there, such an amazing house and it was all so stunning with all the snow around – beautiful place. Would love to go back sometime. Everything was so organised and easy to find, made staying there so simple and relaxing. Perfect weekend … we absolutely loved it and want to be back there now! It’s a struggle heading back to work!

Thanks for a wonderful stay. What an amazing house – worthy of a feature on Grand Designs!

Un séjour agréable dans une maison très confortable. Nous avons adore les chocolats au retour devant la cheminée. Tout est vraiment fonctionnel, nous reviendrons avec plaisir. Merci beaucoup.

We’ve been happy to return to The Doug each day to the comfort and relaxing vibe. Looking forward to returning during a bumper snow year. Thank you for the great hospitality.

Thanks again for a great stay; it’s a mint place you have!

An inspirational mountain retreat you’ve created in The Doug, so warm and cosy.
