“Wonderful time in the Sounds”

Reviewed 16 June 2013 NEW

The highlight of our recent trip to NZ- a short water taxi ride from Picton. Tory Lodge is an absolute treasure. Tom and Des couldn't do enough to ensure our comfort. Awesome meals, sparkling conversation, fishing, canoes, tramps and everything with a huge smile. Loved our stay and very happy to recommend to anyone.

“Peaceful location”

Reviewed 15 March 2013

We stayed for two nights here in February. The Lodge is run by Tom and Des, who were great hosts. There is a cantankerous old dog in residence too- but he stays away from guests. The lodge is very clean and rooms are simple and comfortable. A TV and some light reading books are available in the lodge. The lodge... More

Have not relaxed so well for a long time. Waterfall, beach, jetty, fishing, mountain climbing and beautiful greenery. On top of this Des and Tom were amazing hosts. The food was absolute fresh and devine. Maraetai Beach lovely in the rain and the sunshine. Des and Tom are always there to make it a happy holiday. 100% recommended
