風笛手山林小屋(Pipers Lodge)

我們正在尋找冬季週末過夜的地方，並在這裡找到了房間。旅館位於國家公園村，距離華卡帕帕（Whakapapa）約 15 分鐘路程。他們現場確實有一些停車位，但已經滿了，所以我們最終上路了。辦理入住手續很簡單，因為我們是在接待處 2100 點關閉之前到達的。您在旅館預訂房間，所以沒有辦法像背包客那樣預訂單人床。他們還有其他設施，例如熱飲站和烘乾室。還有一個浴室，裡面有很多隔間，所以不需要等待。這個地方看起來確實有點過時，但很舒服。房間裡有床和物品架。休息室很大，後面有一個遊戲室。餐廳裡有一家內部餐廳，很高興知道這一點，因為國家公園的用餐選擇非常有限。預訂的房間還附帶歐陸式早餐。這是一個非常好的住宿地點，並且很樂意在將來再次入住。物超所值，尤其是含早餐。

這是旅館，不是飯店，因此人們需要管理自己的期望，重點： - 工作人員很友好 - 飯店夠溫暖，適合寒冷的天氣，但房間內沒有暖氣控制裝置，而是中央控制的 -廁所、浴室和熱水都很好 - 床不是很舒服 - 沒有嘗試過旅館餐廳的食物 - 免費熱飲和飲用水水龍頭僅在休息區提供，因此您必須離開房間然後再返回 - 設有廚房區，可供您自己做飯 - 清潔度一般（除非你不挑剔） - 提供免費停車位 - 歐陸式早餐很一般

很棒的客戶服務。地方很乾淨。無論大人或小孩都在遊樂場度過了一段愉快的時光。第一次享用免費早餐，對早餐的選擇和口味感到驚訝。會推薦其他遊客嘗試他們的晚餐菜單。

感謝 Akuila 在我們入住 Pipers 期間所做的一切。你簡直太棒了。這是我們的孩子們將永遠記住的一次旅行。順便說一句，他們很喜歡這裡的食物。強烈推薦你們！！

我們在這裡過得很愉快，這裡非常適合家庭入住，是前往山區和附近地區旅行的絕佳住宿地點。提供無限量的茶/咖啡以及帶遊戲和壁爐的精美大堂區，讓您的住宿體驗非常愉快！

工作人員非常樂於助人而且非常有禮貌。我和我的 3 個孩子非常享受我們的住宿。一定會再入住😊強烈推薦

Great place and extremely friendly crew, we did the crossing, and all was very well organized by Aku, including yummy food before, for and after the crossing. Room wasn't up to expected standard, but we have had wonderful time and will definitely visit them again. Very impressed of how good people can make the place!

All those who experienced Pipers Ski Lodge under the capable and loving hands of Bruce and Di would be appalled and disappointed at the changes the new owners have implemented. Yes, there have been some upgrades/renovations to the ensuite rooms, but even here the choices made are questionable. The ensuite bathrooms have been updated, but unless you have a family used to seeing each other naked, the frosted glass wall between the room and the bathroom really doesn't provide any privacy for toileting processes without anyone still in the room getting an eyefull. The pool table, gone. The table-tennis table, gone. The bar, closed. The drinks vending machine, gone. The spa pools, gone. The seperate kids tv lounge, gone. In their place is a gaming room that could put Time-Out to shame. Lots of flashing lights, thumping music and whining children wanting another $2 per game. The lounge has a TV, but the remote is a free-for-all, so while we were there, an animated Spiderman played twice in a row and then a Korean animae. The selector holding tight to the remote. Children allowed to run in the hallways, no respect given for those trying to put little ones down by 8.00pm. From our room (a bunk room several rooms away from the gaming space) we could still hear the thumping music from the games, this definately also drowns out the noise on the TV (maybe this was a blessing after-all). Clothes left to dry around the fireplace really turns this once bold and beautiful Ski Lodge into a backpackers. Our room temp was set so high it was hotter in there than in the drying room, with no way to turn it down. The bunk beds squeeked every movement that was made, add that to the heat of the room and it was the most uncomfortable night with the worst sleep I think I have ever had. The garish fluro wings that light up the lounge really show the changes that the new owners have put in place. We have been regular customers of Pipers Ski Lodge for over 15 years, we have had family reunions there, stayed for full weeks during the ski season and the occassional night or two where we could skip out on work to get some skiing in. What is sad I think is that all the newbies to Pipers do not even realise whats missing from their Ski Lodge experience. They do not know how great it was, to even know that what they have experienced is subpar. We will not be back.

All staff were so kind, always willing to help, and very professional. So thank you to each and everyone for everything! However, the premises are in serious need of renovation and update, and the couches should be replaced by new ones, with no stains or holes. Also, while the communal area was decently heated at night, it was quite cold in the morning. Finally, breakfast was a little too basic for the price we paid (the average price of a 5-star hotel). So altogether, overpriced accommodation with a large room for improvement.
