Lochmara Lodge

Overall it was a good trip, could have been better. There were several lovely members of staff who actively improved our stay however the member of staff on reception seemed annoyied with us with every interaction we had, not sure what we did wrong. The restaurant is expensive, I appreciate the location adds a premium but the quality of meals wasn’t particularly high to justify the high price. Rooms were spotlessly clean but basic and feel slightly tired. Amazing art everywhere and a beautiful setting.

Friendly helpful staff. Great facilities and spectacular views over the sounds

Stunning place with great service and an amazing menu, was not disappointed! Bonus was kayaking right next to the dolphins which the staff said was very rare

Excellent stay - we wish we could have stayed longer! Nature surrounding the lodge was stunning and the highlight was kayaking and doing the Queen Charlotte Track day walk to the lookout point. -

This is the highlight of our trip so far. In an unbeatable location. I wish I had booked more than one night.

Absolutely fantastic location. Staff were very warm, helpful and welcoming. The food in the restaurant was fantastic made with fresh ingredients. Picturesque surroundings and loved the animals.

This resort has a lot of interesting activities to check out, is close to Picton and had friendly helpful staff who went the extra mile, literally in our case, as we got a bit lost.

My husband and I travelled from Auckland to Lochmara for a 3 night getaway. It was a was a whole day of travelling each way but well worth it. Our room was very clean and comfortable with a nice view. It was so relaxing sitting on our patio in the early evening with a bottle of wine, just watching the beautiful bay. The food in the restaurant was amazing as was the outlook. There are free kayaks to use and theres's lots to see when walking all around the grounds. Also plenty hammocks to relax in. Hammockville amongst the trees right on the waters edge was my favourite . I could lie there and watch the stingrays go by. We did the walk up the lookout on Queen Charlotte Track. Steep in places but so worth it. We had a great few days and I would highly recommend Lochmara Lodge.

Great views over the bay. This is a very good 4 star property. Rooms clean and functional. Excellent food and friendly service. Wine list could be more extensive with some quality wines. Some great artistic walks around the property. This is my second time this year, so definitely recommend as a stop along the way.

Unfortunately it was raining on both days I have stayed but if your looking for a peaceful relaxed location to stay. Disconnect from reality-with no TV.
