Riverview Cottage

This year, we have a new Riverview Cottage to unveil.
New in 2004, the Riverview Cottage has enormous windows to take full advantage of its sweeping views down the Cass River and across to the Puketeraki Range. With simply the best situation on the property, the Riverview Cottage is a short golfcart ride or small stroll from the main lodge building. It is built to fit in with the surrounding environment in a modern alpine style.
It features two junior suite bedrooms of 51 square metres (550 square feet), each with their own gas fireplace, with walk-through wardrobes, separate toilets, and spacious bathrooms with individual vanities and jacuzzi baths.
In addition, both rooms have a king or twin single beds, comfortable armchairs, antique desks, internet port, and a deck with outdoor chairs and table.
With a full lounge and open-plan kitchen shared between the two junior suites, this can be taken by one couple that enjoys space and privacy, or is perfect for two couples travelling together or a family.
The snug has leather armchairs, books, TV with satellite connection and video/DVD player and CD player, to provide a cosy hideaway in front of the double-sided open stone fireplace in cooler weather.
And oh yes, we do provide the golfcart, for guests here without transport.

Tariffs and Inclusions
This season we are selling these rooms at a rate of $NZ1500 + G.S.T. per room, share twin or double, for two couples sharing the cottage. The cottage can be booked by only one party at a time.
The rate for the Cottage Suite (i.e. one couple having sole use) is the same as the Grasmere and Chalet Suite, $1600 + G.S.T., and of course these rates include pre-dinner drinks, a five-course gourmet dinner, country breakfast, complimentary minibar and the 90-minute 4WD farm tour, usually taken by either Oliver or Tom.

Other News
In keeping with our normal refurbishment programme, this season we have re-carpeted and re-lit the original Homestead building, re-painted the Lodge building and re-surfaced the tennis court, as well as stepping up the landscaping yet again.
This year Beth has successfully hand-reared a beautiful orphaned fawn, Dory, and two more lambs, with the help of Joanna.

Our Promise
With our continued proud New Zealand ownership and operation, you can be assured Grasmere Lodge will continue to provide a unique “Kiwi Experience.”
Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any question about the developments above, or want more information.
With kindest regards
