Schist Rock Lodge is just off the rail trail. Mandy was a great host, meeting us on arrival. The units are only a couple of years old and well set up ... loved

This is an absolutely fabulous place to stay should you be riding the rail trail. Our host was extremely accommodating, arrangements were in place to charge

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