BUG review
Rata Lodge is really just a house on a hill about ten minutes north of Arthurs Pass. It is secluded and quiet, and consists of a couple of dorm rooms with single beds and some nice double rooms. There is a well equipped kitchen, clean bathrooms and spacious dorms with electric blankets. All rooms have en suite facilities. It is close to the mountains and some glow-worm trails. The atmosphere here is very quiet, and management are friendly.
