Lakestone build 5.0
Roof Trusses
The first of the roof trusses went up yesterday with some assistance from a HIAB crane. There are a lot of trusses and we have only about half of the guest wing trusses in place so far. It is really taking shape and gives us a great idea of what the skeleton of the building will be. The wind picked up towards the end of the day which made the job a bit too difficult so we have decided to abandon things for a couple of days until the forecast looks a bit more promising. The weather is definately starting to deteriorate (we have already had some snow on site earlier this month) and it would be good to get the building enclosed as soon as possible to provide some shelter from the elements.
What our other guests had to say
From the moment we arrived till the follow up visit to pick up our bikes that had graciously been looked after while we shot up to Christchurch, the service and hospitality was amazing. Mike met us and with his staff quietly looked after our every need. Food was delicious and very well...

A few days ago we treated ourselves to 2 nights at this luxurious little lodge (it only has 6 guest rooms) We chose it as a relaxing base from which we could access sections of the Alps 2 Ocean Cycle Trail & various walks. The location is stunning and the food, thoughtfully prepared by Chef,...

This small lodge has excellent and very helpful staff. the rooms are good and the food is excellent. However the crowning glory for my wife and I was the magnificent view along the lake with Aoraki Mount Cook central to the view surrounded by other snow covered mountains in the Southern Alps.

A group of tired cyclists arrive wet and cold. We are met by a very charming host, Mike, and shown to our lovely rooms, with beautiful views over turquoise Lake Pukaki. A rabbit runs by, pursued by a cat. There is tea and coffee, cupcakes, biscotti and fruit. Cocktails in the lounge are followed...
