Porter Heights Alpine Lodge
Imagine this… after a hard out day on the slopes at Porters you load your board /skis onto your vehicle and head down the mountain. Just five minutes drive down the road you veer left and park right below a rustic lodge located on a ridge, set against a superb backdrop of snow capped mountains.
Step inside, slip off your boots and jacket, hang them in the drying room, slide into a pair of slippers and head upstairs to a lounge where a log burner is roaring. Relax back in one of the deep cushioned couches, pour yourself a drink and chill. You deserve it. Dinner will be served soon enough and in the meantime, you can relive and recount each downhill run with like-minded powder enthusiasts. Or, if your trail weary body needs rest, spend time relaxing in your room. The choice is yours.
After dinner, if you are up for it, get your gear off and pop outdoors where two steaming tubs are brim full of hot water. Lie back and unwind in a hot bath; a great finale to a great day. And in the morning, after a fine night’s sleep and a continental breakfast, be first up the mountain to ride the fresh powder slopes.
The Alpine Lodge is communal, convivial and comfortable and best of all, it is located just a few minutes below the Porters ski field operation. The lodge occupies a prime position on the mountain side and offers excellent almost-on-field accommodation. Outdoor baths, panoramic views and a friendly casual ambience are all included in the reasonable nightly rates.
Open from July until September (snow & weather permitting), the lodge is owned and operated by the Porter Heights Ski Club and whilst ski club membership is encouraged, casual guests are welcome. The lodge offers a dinner, bed and breakfast package including a hearty two course meal prepared and served by the resident management team.
Alpine Lodge accommodates up to 42 guests in bunk rooms that provide sleeping for four to nine people in a combination of single and double bunks. The lodge is ideal for group bookings and families, although individuals are also welcome.
Because of safety concerns, babies and / or children under four years old, are not permitted to stay.
The lodge is powered by a generator – electricity is turned off each evening at 10.30pm and reactivated at 7.00am
To enquire about bookings go to our online booking form, email us (pamela.taylor@clear.net.nz), or call (03) 318 4011 for further information.
