Guest Reviews

• Alain (9/5): - Bonne literie et super petit déjeuner
• chunrong (10/5): Thank you for everything. - Everything went so smooth from arriving to departure. The breakfast was delicious and the atmosphere with the woodfire was so cozy. Thank you Philipp and see you again.
• Lee (10/5): Had a wonderful night and wished that we were staying for longer - Phil was extremely helpful and the rooms were beautifully looked after
• Iesley (9/5): Easy and pleasant - breakfast excellent. Freshly made loaf of bread and even one to take away as we left. bedroom large and comfortable. Host was available for checking us in and then to farewell us which was lovely as are finding the whole idea of bed and breakfast has mostly been lost with lock boxes with keys - no breakfast and no contact with the owner, and has become very impersonal We would have liked to be able to watch tv even just for the evening news.
• Carolyn and Rene (9/5): A lovely place; cosy and comfortable. Philip is an amazing host, ensuring we had a comfortable stay. The breakfast was n - Great B&B. Great host.
• Tomer (10/5): Great B&B - The cabin was very cozy, especially the fireplace. The breakfast spread was phenomenal and a great surprise. Philip is an amazing host! We thought Murchison would be just a quick stop to sleep at on our way South, but the Murchison Lodge turned out to be a real gem and highlight for us. Nothing
• Mark&Mila (10/5): Highly recommend this lovely lodge - We had a fantastic stay at Murchison Lodge and only wish it had been longer. Philip was a wonderful host, the room was spotless and very comfortable, and the setting is absolutely beautiful. Highly recommended to anyone.
• Joan (9/5): Comfortable, sustainable with great host and location - Lovely location, great host, delicious breakfast provided.
• Erin (10/5): - An exceptional stay! Phil was a fantastic host and so welcoming, with a wonderful breakfast. The lodge and room were beautiful, and it was lovely to relax in front of the fire after a long drive. A perfect spot and very kind host - can't recommend it enough!
• Anne (10/5): - Philip was so welcoming and full of enthusiasm. The property and grounds were unique. The shared lounge and kitchen area worked well and there was a gorgeous log burner lit in the evening .Breakfast was perfect 👌 Nothing
• Esme (10/5): Fantastic place to stay. - Very homely. The location was quiet but within walking distance of the centre of Murchison. The owner was very welcoming and provided the best breakfast of my 14 day road trip! I didn't want to leave ....
• David (10/5): Excellent stopover accomodation in Murchison. Worth staying an extra night to explore area. - Fantastic host, Philip was very friendly and made us both comfortable and welcome. Great breakfast, cosy communal lounge.
• John (10/5): X dairy Farmers - Host was excepional Well educated and up with the real world Drive potholes could be filledX
• Jasmina (9/5): Toll auch für einen längeren Aufenthalt - Sehr saubere Unterkunft mit schönem, großem Zimmer. Es gibt eine große, gut gepflegte Gemeinschaftsküche, die man mitbenutzen darf, ebenso einen gemütlichen Aufenthaltsraum mit einer großen Auswahl an Brettspielen. Philip hat uns ein ganz wunderbares Frühstück mit selbst gebackenem Brot und richtigem Kaffee gezaubert. Die Lodge ist sehr ruhig gelegen. Parkplatz direkt am Grundstück. Es gibt auch einen überdachten Sitzbereich im Freien. Leider das übliche Miniaturwaschbecken im Bad, aber dafür gab es eine normale Handbrause in der Dusche.
• Michael (10/5): A gem to return to - Tucked away yet easy to find. Quiet. Welcoming. Every aspect of the space was warm, friendly, and comfortable, and our hosts provided a superb experience. When we arrived, they asked us to fill out a menu request in detail for breakfast so they knew what we would want, and then went beyond our expectations. Almost all the breakfast fruit was from the property, and it was delicious. Freshly-baked bread, spreads made from their own fruit, very good coffee. Everything on the table was high quality. There are plenty of B&Bs I'd happily stay at again, but not many I'd arrange an itinerary specifically to revisit. This was in that elite class; if I have the good fortune to visit the south island again, I'll look for an opportunity to return, for a longer visit next time.
• Charles (10/5): Totally perfect - thank you! - Excellent host provided an extensive breakfast using many home grown fruits and local produce. Lovely room.
• suzie (10/5): - Phillip was very accommodating and kind. The lodge had some really nice touches like free tea and coffee and fruit. The breakfast was great, eggs poached to perfection!
• Mary (7/5): It was a pleasant and comfortable stay. - Philip was a humorous, knowledgeable and caring host. He tailor-made incredible breakfast for each of his guest which was cooked with fresh eggs and ingredients. The room and bathroom were spacious.
• lloy (9/5): - Breakfast was prepared by Phillip and had lots of homemade jams etc to choose from. We had a lovely cooked brekkie with home made bread.
• Beat (10/5): - Alles, was man sich wünscht. Sauberes, ruhiges Zimmer in super Lage. Hervorragendes Frühstück mit frischen, lokalen Zutaten. Netter Gastgeber.
• Alec (10/5): Great place to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery - It was away from all the traffic and just quiet and peaceful. Philip was an Excellent host, he made our stay memorable one. Nothing
• Christine (10/5): Lovely host & super breakfast - Excellent breakfast Our room (Tui) was right off the communal area & depending on who else is staying, could get noisy
• Kira (10/5): Warm, cozy interior, lovely owner and beautiful breakfast - lovely stay! - Amazing hideaway after traveling through the country! The lodge is surrounded by beautiful nature and is well maintained while the inside feels cozy with a great eye for interior. The lovely owner, Phillip, was welcoming us warmly right after arrival and made sure that we’ve got everything we needed. He was also kind enough to make us a beautiful breakfast in the morning, including many amazing (!) gluten free options which we really appreciated. Thank you so much! We‘d 100% recommend if you’re passing through Murchison!! Nothing. Everything was perfectly fine.
• Peter (9/5): Fabulous Riverside room with spectacular breakfast - Riverside King Room @ Murchison Lodge was wonderful, quiet, private, warm & comfortable with a brilliant breakfast by Philip who is a super host
• Emma (10/5): A must do stay can’t fault it. - Location was idyllic, hosts were fabulous ! Breakfast was out of this world. Home baked bread was delicious. Short walk to river was good to see sunset. Can’t fault anything - a must stay if travelling via Murchison. Nothing - it was perfect
• Paul (9/5): - Our room was really comfortable and spacious. Breakfast was excellent and Phillipe was a very attentive and friendly host. The position of the property is off the main road so very quiet and we liked the path down to the river where we watched the sunset.
• Jonas Wouters (10/5): Amazing gem in Murchison! - This place is an absolute gem!! If you are around Murchison and looking for a place to stay, this is the place. Philip, the owner, took amazing care of us from the first moment we arrived. The room was very nice and clean, newly renovated, spacious bathroom, very comfortable beds. Everything is walking distance (the town is not very big). Plenty of on site private parking. Breakfast was cooked by Philip with all home-made ingredients or things from the garden. We can definitely recommend staying here, and we hope to back again soon ourselves! Absolutely nothing!
• Chris (10/5): -
• Erwin (10/5): - Excellent séjour dans ce lodge magnifique ! Les chambres sont superbes et le petit déjeuner copieux. Nous avons été très bien reçu !
• Marlice (10/5): Great stay - Exceeded our expectations! - We loved this stay. Philip was very welcoming and the room (Fantail) had a lot of space to put things. There were hooks on the wall for jackets, two chairs, two luggage stands, and screens on the windows to keep the sandflies out. The horses were fun to visit and feed, the cats were always around, and the sheep would pass by in the evenings. It was walking distance to town, and easy walking to a food truck that sold burgers and tacos and next door to that was an ice cream stand. The breakfast was really nice! You got to choose every day what you wanted and it was delicious. There was an honesty box for drinks if you wanted them, and he had snacks out for you too. It was a lovely stay and we would not hesitate to recommend! The only minor thing was that the shower head didn't stay upright.. But we didn't bother to mention it.. It was a very small thing
• Leanne (10/5): - We had a very comfortable stay and enjoyed a wonderful cooked breakfast in the morning prior to checking out.
• Adam (10/5): Murchison Lodge - Fantastic B&B, ideal for short as well as longer stays. Very comfortable room, common area, and most importantly, a wonderfully kind host. Philip makes you feel very welcome the moment you arrive at the B&B, and cares for everything during your stay. Thank you Philip for the delicious breakfast and all the conversations :) Overall highly recommended, will gladly stay again.

• Fu (10/5): A good stopover between Christchurch and South Island’s northern hotspots with a charming and quiet small town atmosphe - Friendly host; yummy breakfast; good B&B atmosphere; peaceful drive to Lake Rotoroa north of Murchison. None.

• Melanie (10/5): Excellent b&b and lovely host !! - The property was lovely and it was nice that it was a bit tucked away in private, even though everything is just a drive down the road. The host was very helpful and friendly, even recommending us places to go and eat. The breakfast was excellent and very generous, and the homemade raspberry jam, granola, yoghurt, and bread were delicious!! The room and bathroom were spacious and very clean and tidy.

• alison (10/5): Murchison stop over - After a long journey, we were greeted by a very warm welcome from our host Philip. Our room had a lovely private outside terrace where we could sit and soak up the atmosphere of the bush around us and listen to the bird song. At night it was perfect for star gazing. The breakfast was excellent with a good choice of things on offer. We really enjoyed the laid back ambience of the whole place. If you can stay longer, there is also a very comfortable lounge for relaxing. Nothing

Besonders hervorzuheben ist das mit viel Liebe zubereitete Frühstück mit selbstgemachtem Brot, Marmeladen und Ei, das individuell auf unsere Wünsche abgestimmt wurde. Die Umgebung war extrem ruhig, sodass man vollkommen abschalten und wirklich gut runterfahren konnte. Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt und können diese Unterkunft uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.

• Richard (10/5): The drive between Christchurch and Nelson was lovely and Murchison turned out to be the perfect stop - Just a delightful place. Wonderful B&B. Phillip, a displaced Swiss was the perfect host. The property is well maintained and every conceivable plaything/convenience was available - even golf clubs for those who want to play a NZ$15 round of golf! I am a light breakfast eater, but there was no eating light when I saw the homemade bread, mini-scones and jams to go with a full selection of English Breakfast and other goodies. They have a lovely walk down to the river and what was expected to just be a stopover in a little town, turned out to be one of the highlights of the trip! I loved everything. Perfect B&B!

We stayed in the large room and it waz so spacious and comfy and had such great views. Breakfast was great, we got to pick how we wanted our eggs, there was delicious homemade bread, different granolas, homemade jam and plenty of coffee. Phillip was a great and very friendly host and we loved that we had flexibility in breakfast time. Everything was very clean and well kept. There are board games as well and a nice living room/ common area. It was very peaceful and quiet, just birds singing. We would stay again. Nothing
• Carsten (10/5): quiet, cozy, charming 🥰 - Thank you to the very warm and helpful host. We liked the spacious living room with games, fireplace and self-service bar, and the possibility of using the kitchen. The terrace and the seating area by the river are fantastic.

• István (10/5): An amazing place to stay if you are in the area - An excellent host with vast knowledge of the world, and love for chess. The breakfast was amazing, and I had a great night rest at a very idyllic town. That I only booked it for one night, and that I did not play more chess with the host
• Ceri (9/5): - Great location, a unique place with lots of character including Philip our host , who was lovely and made a fabulous breakfast!

• Ori (10/5): Dont miss this stay! - This place is simply magical! we actually found it by mistake, and that mistake turned out to be the best accommodation of our trip. The lodge is beautiful and cosy with a few minutes walk to the river. Philip’s hospitality is truly one of a kind, warm, personal, and full of heart. The breakfast was delicious, generous, and thoughtfully customized just for us. A truly special stay and a very warm recommendation from us!
• Marco (10/5): Een parel van een B&B - Wat een pareltje van een B&B! Een heerlijk comfortabel huis op een mooi erf, op wandelafstand van de rivier. Een heerlijk bed en douche, samen met de vogels, zorgen dat je uitgerust wakker wordt. De geur van het verse brood komt je dan al tegemoet. De uitleg en hulpvaardigheid van de host Philip is ronduit geweldig. We hebben genoten! Absoluut niets.
• Bella (10/5): Our stay was relaxing and comforting - phill was fantastic and made a lovely breakfast :) - Quite and relaxing - very cute town and Phillip was very accommodating N/A
