We came for Wakaama Nationals and had an amazing stay at Podium Lodge. The rooms were clean, cosy, and modern. The beds were super comfortable and we got a good night's sleep. The staff were incredibly accommodating and provided excellent service. The facilities, including the pool, were top-notch. We loved the soundproof rooms and the communal kitchen. our stay was fantastic and we highly recommend this hotel.

The vibe here was chill. the hotel is conveniently located right across the road from a cafe in the garden center, a velodrome, and a supermarket 🌳. Plus, it's just a 5-minute drive to the raceway.

I had a fantastic stay at a brand new accommodation on the outskirts of a charming town. The beds were comfortable and the layout of the rooms was perfect for my family of four. The kitchen space was well-equipped and the shower was excellent. I also appreciated the option to order takeout from town if we didn't feel like driving in the evening. The staff were friendly and it was great to know that the accommodation is run by a charity. I would stay here again without hesitation.

Our xmas stay was great! We received complimentary breakfast and a bottle of wine, which was a nice surprise. the location was perfect, with scenic drives all around and easy access to restaurants and a supermarket. Plus, we really enjoyed the spacious and clean room, which had a comfortable bed and good amenities.
Although we had a lovely stay, we did have a few minor complaints. One of the dining chairs was broken and the room lacked sufficient cutlery.

It was all superb.

The room at Podium Lodge was so cozy and comfortable, with a seating area where you could just relax and unwind. I had the option of choosing between two king singles or one super king bed, which was perfect for a solo traveler like me. The self-catering kitchenette was a great addition, allowing me to prepare my own meals whenever I wanted. The premium bedding and air conditioning provided a luxurious touch to my stay. Plus, I loved having a kettle in the room, making it easy to enjoy a hot cup of tea.
I personally found the number of rooms a bit limited, but I understand that this could be subjective and others might still find it enjoyable.

Had a great time during my Xmas stay at this unique place. The setting was new, modern, and well-designed. The private rooms were in a pod format, giving each guest ample privacy. The staff was courteous and accommodating, making our stay more comfortable. The venue was always clean and tidy, with well-maintained facilities. The staff was always ready to help us, and room service was prompt. The location was ideal for active travelers who want to embrace the culture of the area. They offered laundry services, which we found very helpful, and we appreciated how soundproof the rooms were.
The only thing that disappointed us during our stay was the expensive price tag. Although we loved the venue and the services on offer, the price was a tad steep for us.

Staying in this modern accommodation was a great experience. The rooms were clean, spacious, and equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay, including a heat pump for temperature control. The communal kitchen was also a plus providing the necessary appliances to prep meals. The staff was friendly and approachable, always ready to assist whenever needed. Another bonus was the great shared spaces, including a pool, BBQ area, and even access to a nearby gym. The location was perfect, with easy access to surrounding areas.
The absence of a tissue box in the room was a bit of a drawback.

I had a fantastic stay at the brand new accommodation. The rooms were well-equipped, with ensuite bathrooms and kitchens. The communal kitchen in the Hub building was also available for those who needed more cooking facilities. The location was convenient, with the Avantidrome nearby where you could easily hire a bike. Although it was a bit far from the town centre, it was definitely worth the visit. I highly recommend this hotel.
