What our previous guests have said
I rarely give anything 5 out of 5... however Schist Rock thoroughly deserves it. Everything has been carefully considered and the result is certainly a 5 in

On the Otago rail trail all the accommodation was first rate, but Schist Rock Lodge was standout excellence. Cleanliness, comfort and attention to detail.

We think we'll stay here as it's so sumptuous, not proceed with the Otago Rail Trail, then arrive back in Clyde in 4 days looking worn out :)
