"Wanted to thank you again for a fantastic stay at Pudding Hill Lodge. Our team had an amazing time and for boys to have a bonfire and sauna after their race was very special. It is great to create memories for boys."
Paul Dominikovich - New Plymouth Boys’ High School cross country team

The lodge was a magnificent place for us to be based and the meals were great. You guys were exceptional hosts." Paul Merrit - St Bede's Football Team "I applaud you on the inside events that you came up with which allowed team participation. The quiz that you ran was first notch, a mix of questions good use of visuals and some interesting brain teasers. The facilities and you as hosts were “top notch” and I would have no hesitation in promoting Pudding Hill Lodge as a great place to hold a corporate event."
