Fantastic stay while visiting for Mystery Creek event. Close, clean, nice pool facilities and friendly staff. Will be back.

Quiet and relaxing

Enjoyed our stay at Podium Lodge and the pool was much appreciated. Very clean with good furniture etc There were other open areas for recreational use but we did not have time to explore them. The only negative about our room was that the ranch sliders opened out onto a small courtyard - this was nice but anybody walking past looked right into your "bedroom". Not all the units were designed this way and a small issue. Otherwise really enjoyed our stay and would recommend to friends.

Amazing service from beginning to end. 5 stars

The Podium was a perfect place for members of a sports team in Cambridge for an event - clean, comfortable and convenient. Reasonably priced, beautiful swimming pool

Great hotel

Great hotel, clean rooms, late check in available with prior notice.

I enjoyed my stay sooo much! It was so clean, comfortable and the staff is amazing. I felt welcomed and at home right away. My Favorit was definitely the pool/hot tub ✨ the kitchen was also clean and had everything u need.

Beautiful lodge. Welcoming man on reception. Great pool! Great hub for families. Highly recommend and will definitely return.

Nice clean and tidy property

Great stay. Room was spacious and comfortable. Bed was excellent. Nice location.

Arrived late and the manager left room open for us. Room was well equiped and very clean. Comfortable beds. Would stay agaony

I was only there one night - but it had a great vibe. The town is amazing. Cute and lots of good food.

Comfortable, quiet. Easy parking flat and no stairs to climb.

Lovely and peaceful location.. well appointed.

Very comfortable stay at Podium. Room was spotless and had everything we required .

Pet friendly property. Neighboring unit had 2 dogs that would yap every time you walked past and would run at you when outside. No complaints in regards to our unit. Modern, clean and well appointed.

Love that each hub is named after the host cities of Olympics. This property served our requirements. We were training at Lake Karapiro and had our miniature schnauzer with us. We could stay here with her, we had access to great laundry to wash and dry our training gear. It does not have cooking facilities - only a microwave. But for a very short stay it suited our needs.

Great facility for our needs. We had a training camp based at Karapiro. We had to bring our dog and Podium presented as a clean modern accommodation to support our requirements to bring our wee dog. We are returning there in 2 weeks for our last training camp.

Super, clean, modern, tidy, comfortable.

This was an outstanding place to stay at, one of few pet-friendly accommodations in the area too. It was peaceful, spacious and very clean and tidy. Thank you Podium Lodge.

Good motel, slightly out of town but very quiet. Easy parking. No stairs to climb. Very comfy Bed, good linen. We will be back.

great stay thanks

Stayed March 31 2024, 2 nights. Staff were excellent we had rooms separated and they graciously gave us 2 more rooms together. Beautiful facilities. Will definitely recommend this eco lodge

Was a perfect location for our planned Riverside Ride, shuttle pickups etc. Second time we have stayed at the Podium. Super comfy beds, and perfect for groups.

Great place to stay if you are in the Cambridge area.

Clean, quiet, great facilities and friendly staff. Perfect overnight stop.

Lovely fresh country air..

Very comfortable bed. Aircon excellent. Liked that this unit had a table and chairs. And also that access to deep freezer was available.

Excellent facilities, clean, modern and good location few minutes drive into Cambridge township. Highly recommend staying here, beds are super comfy and unit had everything. Fabulous cafe across the road in the garden centre.

The podium Lodge was a nice surprise, We had a lovely welcome a reception and very clear instructions on how to fine our accommodation for the night. The unit was bright and inviting. And had all that was needed. We will be back.

We had a fantastic stay at the Lodge, specially with our little dog.

Was very busy place.

A lovely new clean, bright motel. Reasonable price.

Close to Lake Karapiro

all good

Was exactly what we wanted, very friendly service and will definitely go back.

Highly recommended!

Very happy with my stay here. We will come back again next time visiting Cambridge. Highly recommended.

Everything was as it should be

Property was perfect for our group. Lovely space and lots of room to feel comfortable

Clean spacious room. We have stayed there often and will again.

The most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept on!

Excellent customer service

Very new facility and excellent all around.

Lovely clean modern accomodation

We didn't have a long stay at Podium - we arrived late at night and left early the next morning. Our room was clean and fresh, warm and comfortable. And super close to St Peters College - where we were competing. Would definitely recommend.

Very pleasant place to stay.

Comfortable and suited us for e nights. Just that there was no tv available on room

Clean. Friendly. Service was only towels and clear rubbish bin over 4 day stay. Wld been nice to have tea, t-rolls and beds serviced and stocked up. Be prepared to do dishes and tidy rubbish for this price.

Great location being close to cambridge but situated off main road for some quiet.

Great location for velodrome, super clean, new and nice facilities. Staff were great and will be back again.

Amazing place, loved it. Felt like we were home as the room was very comforting, and warm. Would recommend staying here, lovely people working there too

Great all round.

Very comfortable bed and pillow

It was OK but over priced in my opinion.

Excellent dog-friendly accommodation

The Podium Lodge exceeded my expectations. The accommodation (studio unit) was spacious and tastefully decorated. I had a good night sleep as the bed was very comfortable and the location peaceful. A huge bonus to find a nice place to stay that is dog-friendly. There was ample floor space for my dog to have his large travel bed set up. There was a large grassy area away from the rooms, suitable for exercising dogs. It's not right in the town centre but is only a few minutes' drive away. Overall, an excellent stay.

Availability and location

The property was perfect for our group of 14 incl kids. Really enjoyed our time here. Thank you for having us

Great facility, loved sitting outside with a wine watching the wildlife

Even thou its mainly for sports teams...there was no iron or ironing board. Great place and to stay very tidy and clean. Would stay again.

Everything was above expectations.

Nice new and well appointed property

Great place to stay with a dog, nice and quiet and the staff are very friendly. The rooms are tidy and in good condition.

Unique property. Great amenities. Perfect place for a one night stay.

.

Very nice and clean rooms. Was very pleasing to see the cleannesses . Bedspread pillow’s all newly spread and displayed

Nice and clean. Parking is a bit of issue, the water pressure is low for shower

Great stop off

Great place to stay, good location. Many options for size of group or family’s.

This was a fantastic place to stay for a family. We had a two bedroom unit and it made life super easy. Staff were friendly and the site was super kid friendly. Highly recommend.

Stay was very cosy, Thanks.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The place was so clean with good amenities. It's a nice space for families especially if you have pets. My dog had a great time staying here too! Overall a great stay and I would definitely recommend. We will be back here again.

Fabulous communication with staff - lovely clean room. Everything exceeded our expectations- and wonderful to accommodate us travelling with our dog. Highly recommended.

it was enjoyable if anything was negative was i couldnt find a dessert plate for my porridge and not enough milk available

I liked how tidy and clearly layed out the property was. Awesome grounds and nice rooms

Great stay lovely accom and value for money

Loved the dog friendliness with a large area to run around. Facilities are clean and well stocked. Would recommend and visit again.

It was a good stop over but would have liked a microwave & a toaster
