Great facility for our needs. We had a training camp based at Karapiro. We had to bring our dog and Podium presented as a clean modern accommodation to support our requirements to bring our wee dog. We are returning there in 2 weeks for our last training camp.

Love that each hub is named after the host cities of Olympics. This property served our requirements. We were training at Lake Karapiro and had our miniature schnauzer with us. We could stay here with her, we had access to great laundry to wash and dry our training gear. It does not have cooking facilities - only a microwave. But for a very short stay it suited our needs.

Excellent dog-friendly accommodation

The Podium Lodge exceeded my expectations. The accommodation (studio unit) was spacious and tastefully decorated. I had a good night sleep as the bed was very comfortable and the location peaceful. A huge bonus to find a nice place to stay that is dog-friendly. There was ample floor space for my dog to have his large travel bed set up. There was a large grassy area away from the rooms, suitable for exercising dogs. It's not right in the town centre but is only a few minutes' drive away. Overall, an excellent stay.
