Abisko Campground is one of the BEST campsite we stayed at. It is very well maintained and strategically located at the town centre. When we visited on 11-May, we were the only ones there so we had the whole place to ourselves. The hosts were very friendly and told me that we could park our 6-berth motorhome anywhere we want....

I stayed at the Abisko on a ski tour of NZ. The accomodation was clean, comfortable, and warm: all I needed. What makes it stand out was the standard of service. When I was about to leave, I was in a big hurry due to a threatened big snowfall. As a result of the rushing around I managed to lock... More

My husband Peter and I really enjoyed our stay at Abisko Lodge, we were travelling with a group of friends as part of a wedding party. We hardly saw Alex and Luenne ourselves but still felt they provided a great service, they were very accomodating, helpful and friendly. We shared a 2 story flat with 3 bedrooms and a bathroom...

Rooms were clean, TV the smallest I have ever seen. Property central situation in Methvan but owners/managers are much more interested in business than the customer & hospitality industry. I had a party of 28 people booked and because just one person was unable to commit to the booking, owners would not budge on cancellation policy - beware! Be carefully... More

First of all, I would like to highly commend Luenne and Alex for all there hospitality before and during our stay at Abisko. Even before we had made our booking, Luenne went out of her way to organise us transfers to and from Christchurch airport as well as organised our mountain transfers and lift passes! Just an example of her... More

Service was excellent when we arrived and then just went downhill. We were put outside in an odd little room which seemed to be converted from half of thier garage. Good from some respects as we could have the heating on, which is not possible in the lodge as it is turned off at 10am & 10pm. Small kitchenette, with... More

Hi fairey_queen, Luenne and I are shocked and disappointed that we did not meet your expectations with your recent stay with us. It is unfortunate that your issues were not communicated with us during your stay so we could remedy this. I will attempt to address these point by point here.
