About this Holiday House

Torlesse Lodge is a fully equipped comfortable, warm house (double glazed throughout), with great mountain views in Castle Hill Village. With 4/5 bedrooms, two bathrooms, two separate living areas, a modern kitchen and a drying room for the skiers and trampers, Torlesse Lodge can accommodate up to 12 people. Only 70 minutes drive from Christchurch on State Highway 73 towards Arthur's Pass, passing the Craigieburn & Torlesse mountain ranges. There are plenty of outdoor activities within minutes - skiing (Broken River, Porters, Mt Cheeseman and Craigieburn are all close at hand, with Mt Olympus, Temple Basin and Mt Hutt a little further away), climbing, tramping, rock climbing/bouldering, mountain biking (including the fantastic Hog's Back Track and Craigieburn Trails), walking, fishing, water skiing, caving, tennis, golf and a petanque area. Castle Hill Village is a really friendly and safe environment for children - and the playground is just across the road.

Great house for a big crowd. Has all amenities you need. Parking is a bit tight but plenty of room inside and out.
Kate Leighton
A lovely house and grounds in a great location. The kitchen is well equiped with a comfortable lounge We found there was plenty of room for the 9 people in our group to sleep and hang out. We found the place clean and tidy. It met all our needs and beyond. Thank you so much for making our long weekend at Castle Hill comfortable and easy. I would definitely recommend staying here for a large group and we look forward to our next visit in the future.

Lovely owner! But the house needs a really good clean. The couches smell so bad, the cushions etc all need a good wash! Everything is very old. Needs an upgrade and thorough clean. The location and views are stunning! Kitchen is new and the best part of the house.
Response from Owner
Dear H We are disappointed to read your comment, although surprised as we have never had those kinds of complaints before, and we are ourselves regular users of the property. We have also checked with people who have stayed in the house since your visit who did not agree with your comments. We ask guests to ensure the property is left clean when they leave, and we ask incoming guests to contact us when they arrive if they have any concerns, so we can address them, which you did not do before posting your comment. Pleased you liked the kitchen, and hopefully also the new bathroom, TV, etc - but we will check the property closely over Labour Weekend to ensure it is as we expect and want it to be.
