Ideal for nature-lovers looking for a self-sufficient getaway, lodges are fully furnished and self-catered. Usually made of wood and surrounded by forests or mountains, lodges can be part of a group or a single unit. More remote than holiday homes, lodges are popular for safari trips.
We loved everything about our stay at Lochmara Lodge. We stayed for two nights with our family and It was a little bit of a splurge, but did not disappoint! The location was stunning, the fact that you got there by water taxi made it remote and uncrowded, and there were plenty of things to do (hike, paddleboard, kayak). Also, the food was delicious and the staff was accommodating and helpful.
Beautiful lodge in the Marlbourough Sounds. Convenient for hiking the Queen Charlotte track. Unique activities. Relaxing atmosphere. Very delicious food.
We walked into Lochmara Lodge from the Queen Charlotte Track, and after a long day of walking, appreciated the welcoming staff and great facilities. Our room had an outdoor seating area with beautiful views across the bay - just lovely. The room was spacious, clean and airy with comfortable beds, a hot shower and nice toiletries. We had organised our walk to finish at Lochmara Lodge and had a wonderful relaxing day enjoying kayaking, the walks and great food options that were available from the cafe and bar. A wonderful relaxing visit.
Lovely down to earth lodge with an amazing outlook. Enjoyed the variety of sights on the walks around the property. Very comfortable bed. Will definitely return.
Loved the location; loved the friendly resort-style feel of the Lodge. The staff went out of their way to ensure our stay was comfortable and relaxed.
Every detail was taken care of - the restaurant even cooked our fish for dinner.
