Winston Lodge

Excellent experience.

I had a great time at Winston Lodge. Nice size lodge and very pleasant common area with a real fire place. The staff was very helpful and the bistro next door is most convenient. Five minutes walk to the lifts : perfect. Thank you Tom for everything .

Winston Lodge is in the vicinity of Golden - some 12 klm or so away from the main town. It is a nice drive to get there from the town. We arrived and the lodge was open, but no-one was at reception (around 4pm). Room key was in an envelope with instructions as to where to find our room. We went in and the air conditioning was on and some nice music playing - we thought this is going to be great!. The room was large, bed large and bathroom very spacious. Room was a little dusty, and the TV a bit too small to see well if you wanted to watch a movie from the bed. The room had a small balcony with a nice outlook to the trees but there were so many mosquitos outside we couldn’t use it. We were there for 2 nights and the only time we saw any staff was when we were checking out. The lodge is described as self catering but I could not see any facilities other than a BBQ - there was one table with only 4 chairs - we were lucky that there were very few guests so we were able to use it one night to eat our takeaway meal from town - there were no restaurants nearby. I dont know if there were any facilities available for our use as there was no-one there to explain what was available for our use. The common area looked old and dusty - if you dont want guests please just say your are closed.
