We stayed at the lovely Aya Lodge in Jan ‘24. Drew, Lisa & their super crew were beyond helpful from before our arrival! They gave us advice on restaurant bookings (essential) & helped with ski gear hire & lessons.Our stay was wonderful & super chilled! The crew were always friendly & helpful.The location of the lodge is super too, close to everything.We’ll be back for sure.

Excellent stay with superb hosts and staff.Accommodation was cosy. Beds comfortable in our family room with ensuite toilet and floor heating which made all the difference.Hot breakfast of eggs and bacon was served each morning. Ready in the table was a good supply of breads, spinach mushrooms, jams, cereals, juices, coffee and teas. Hot rice, miso, tea available throughout the day as well.Location is very convenient and a short walk away to the chairlifts.Thank you to Drew, Lulu, Lisa & team for a wonderful stay. We will certainly be back!

Our stay at Aya Lodge in Feb 2023 was like walking into a family friends house with the welcome from Lisa and her staff absolutely above all levels we have experienced elsewhere. …

We were welcomed by owners Lisa and Drew from the time we arrived until we were safely on our way. They offered great local knowledge and booked restaurants for us. We felt as if we were staying with old friends. Lisa couldn’t do enough for us (even with a broken leg). Great location for us as skiers.

Lisa and the staff at Aya Lodge did a great job making our stay so memorable. The mountain provided the best snow of our lives and the boys gave us the tips to make sure we got the fresh powder. Lisa helped with us so much with dinner reservations and travel arrangements. Thanks team.

Very comfortable place to stay with amazing beds. Staff and owners were awesome . The information that Drew shares regarding side country access helped us get to places it would have taken years to find on our own . Highly reccomended.

From the first day when we arrived to the minute we left AYA Lodge Madarao we felt welcomed as friends, not just guests. With two children under 10 there can be hassles with snow holidays, yet Lisa and her team organised dinner reservations, contacts for rentals and lessons and even looked after the boys in the lounge area for a few hours so we could sneak out briefly by ourselves. The staff were so friendly, efficient and welcoming I can’t speak highly enough of them all. All this whilst Lisa nursed a broken ankle, which never once stopped her happy and optimistic outlook.This place is heaven for those who would like want to stay where it feels like a home and not just a room.And the powder snow and access to multiple resorts makes it a must do.We will be back to AYA Lodge and are happy to recommend to all to visit.
