Conveniently accessible by water taxi from Picton, Lochmara Lodge offers exclusive accommodation surrounded by native bush and the beach. Guests can relax in a hammock overlooking Lochmara Bay. Guests enjoy free Wi-Fi.

We loved everything about our stay at Lochmara Lodge. We stayed for two nights with our family and It was a little bit of a splurge, but did not disappoint! The location was stunning, the fact that you got there by water taxi made it remote and uncrowded, and there were plenty of things to do (hike, paddleboard, kayak). Also, the food was delicious and the staff was accommodating and helpful.

Lynley and Mike are very friendly and helpful hosts. We enjoyed meeting with other guests, picking our own cockles and oysters for dinner, relaxing with the wonderful views all around and taking short scenic walks around. The property is beautiful too. And the cookies were so yummy :D

    We walked into Lochmara Lodge from the Queen Charlotte Track, and after a long day of walking, appreciated the welcoming staff and great facilities. Our room had an outdoor seating area with beautiful views across the bay - just lovely. The room was spacious, clean and airy with comfortable beds, a hot shower and nice toiletries. We had organised our walk to finish at Lochmara Lodge and had a wonderful relaxing day enjoying kayaking, the walks and great food options that were available from the cafe and bar. A wonderful relaxing visit.

    Loved the location; loved the friendly resort-style feel of the Lodge. The staff went out of their way to ensure our stay was comfortable and relaxed. Every detail was taken care of - the restaurant even cooked our fish for dinner.
