Then we did the mail boat run in Picton (155kms drive) and got there by the skin of our teeth but it was so worth... More

We were slightly daunted by the steep drive to the lodge but once we got to the top ... what a view! Certainly worth the climb. Martin and Susie greeted us and promptly provided tea and biscuits. Plenty of room in this property ... several outdoor sitting/dining areas and a great cedar hot-tub. The lounge has two large areas ...... More

The setting is fabulous. From the road you climb steeply up the drive and finally you arrive at Okiwa Bay Lodge. The views are superb as the Lodge is situated at the head of Queen Charlotte Sound. We stayed for three nights and never tired of the views. Even at night there was much to see and I swear I... More

Thank you. To be able to view the Milky Way from our deck or whilst sitting in the hot tub is truly exceptional and we are so glad you were able to enjoy it. The landscape - our "labour of love" is so rewarding and attracts such a diverse selection of wildlife. More
