Absolutely loved it here - after 2 days of running the Queen Charlotte Track, this was a great place to stay and my favourite hotel on the track. The room I ended up staying in had a balcony and was very cosy, the location was beautiful, and the staff were great. Even without them getting my Kindle back to me, I'd have rated them a 10. Really enjoyed my stay here. Thank you!

This is exquisitely beautiful accommodation with all the creature comforts. The claw bath and salts was an absolute highlight along with the outdoor balcony with views along the street - enjoyed all the more with the complimentary wine and cheese on arrival. The rooms and beds are gloriously spacious and comfortable. I also hadn't appreciated that breakfast was included in our booking so this was a lovely bonus. Julienne and her team bent over backwards to ensure we enjoyed a wonderful stay. And this really was a wonderful stay. Thank you sincerely!!!

    Outstanding friendly staff, they make you feel like home, and they make an incredible good pizza (we had the chicken plum - highly recommend) The place is really magical, you stay at the Fjord and can discover it kayaking, hiking or biking. If you're lucky you can see bioluminescent plankton glowing in the sea at night, beautiful stars and glow worms. You can watch the sunrise from the hot tup. It's a place to enjoy! You should stay there at least 2 days. The only thing we didn't like was that we didn't stay longer ;) If there would be an 11. Star, they would have earned it! ... And there is a chimney burning all day ... We had breakfast in front of it :)

    Niki was sooooo helpful and gave us really good advice! We felt looked after. We hadn't realised there were so many activities to do and could have added in another day. The food at the restaurant was good. Our room was spotless. It was quite basic but that reflected that it was the cheapest accommodation we had when doing the Queen Charlotte Sound and it met all of our needs. Thanks for a great stay at a beautiful spot!

    Lochmara Bay has so much to see and do and has beautiful scenery. Peaceful and quiet if you don't mind the odd speedboat or jetski. Lochmara Lodge is a fantastic option for people stopping in from tramping on the Queen Charlotte Track or visiting by boat (20 mins from Picton) - the accommodation was excellent as was the food and activities on offer. They even take your bags boat to door and back! Activities include roaming the stunning gardens with unusual forest artwork, enjoying the wildlife in the forest and marine life from the viewing boat, feeding the animals, kayaking, swimming when warm enough, lying in the hammocks!!! Big shout out to the staff who work hard and are helpful and friendly.

    I loved the remoteness of where we stayed, yet the sense of being safe and looked after by the locals. The views and natural environment are sublime. The only permitted way to get here is currently by boat as the road has been damaged by a storm and is only allowed to be used by residents' and service vehicles. This makes it very safe to walk up the road to tracks into the wonderlands the area has to offer. The walks vary from fairly easy to somewhat taxing. Some of the tracks have a challenging gradient if you are not used to walking, and would be more difficult if they are wet. Having said that, we are 'senior citizens' with average fitness and we managed to summit the Onahau lookout (416 meters / 1368 feet) above sea level) and return in one piece.

    What a fabulous hideaway Ngahere Hou is!!

    What a fabulous hideaway Ngahere Hou is!! If you're after a rustic glamping experience, then this is perfect. We loved the garden setting, the views into Kenepuru Sound, the outdoor shower area (sadly didn't get to try the shower as we availed ourselves the wood-fired hot tub - sooo good!), and the separate kitchen / dining hut. After a long day of hiking, we were really happy to sit in the sunny kitchen hut and just relax with a cup of tea. Super happy we had the whole area to ourselves (to be honest, I wouldn't want to share this area with other guests who may be staying in the yurt). Would definitely have liked to stay an extra night and enjoy this beautiful spot for a while longer. Breakfast the next morning was fantastic, with gluten-free bread (!!!), croissants (not gf but the husband says they were very good), bacon, eggs, orange juice, and a ton of cereal options in the cupboard! The only (slight) negative for me would be that I found the bed a bit too soft but the husband thought it was great and found it very comfy. If you're hiking to Ngahere Hou from the Queen Charlotte Track: it's in a perfect position distance-wise between Punga Cove and Mistletoe Bay (what we did). It's about a half hour off the track, down the slope into Kenepuru Sound. The climb up the next morning was a killer, you do need to be reasonably fit but after that, the rest of the day/trek will feel almost easy!

    Stunning location and very cool property that is perfect for families. Be careful with exploring- we had an accident. Loved the paddle-boarding and glow-worms. Very patchy internet connections. Views from the rooms wonderful. Cafe has good food and coffee although pricey. I would bring more food to self-cater another time. Appreciated access to a laundry.

    No one told us that we should have caught the Ferry to Punga Cove from Picton. We drove for hours only to find out that the road was closed for maintenance. Very annoying and we had to wait for hours to drive through a very short window of time to get through. Apparently Booking.com was told by the property, but the Booking.com did not tell us. Disappointing!
