The Doug

Absolute luxury in the mountains, thanks so much!

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

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

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 were completely smitten with your gorgeous home. It is by far the most user friendly and welcoming holiday home we have ever encountered. Thank you for sharing The Doug; it is quite magical and full of great energy.

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

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!

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

We’ve really appreciated how cosy the house is, and also how easy it is to manage gear, kids, meals etc in the house. It’s wonderful to come up and be reminded of these beautiful places so close to home.

Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality – we had such a comfortable night and luxury shower. Your house is wonderful.

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

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.

I relax as soon as I walk in the door!  Another terrific holiday at The Doug.  Such a homely place to make some special memories.  Thank you!

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.

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!! 🙂

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

A fantastic place to base yourself and explore the local area. Very well set up, warm, comfortable and inviting. All that adds up to a place that is easy – everything works as it should so you can just get on with relaxing or making the most of your time. By the time we left we were already talking about what we would do the next time we went back. Hopefully soon!

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.

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