This was the most beautiful stay during our honeymoon. We were pleasantly surprised and impressed with all of the different activities and things offered here. We definitely want to come back to Lochmara the next time we find ourselves in Aotearoa. Thank you!
Super place to stay. Incredible location. Clean comfortable rooms. Friendly helpful staff. Meals were wonderful.
A highlight of our trip to New Zealand.
Beautiful location for a couple of nights. Loved the animals. Only thing that let it down was the restaurant. The food sounded delicious on the menu but that’s where it stopped. Food was expensive and lacked any sort of flavour.
One of the most amazing places we've stayed at in New Zealand
We will be back. Absolutely stunning location with wonderful staff and fabulous facilities. Loved it!
The property was a slice of heaven on earth. But for foodies like me I would request either of 2 options - expand the menu or provide microwave/bbq facilities.
Nice place...friendly staff...would recommend for an overnight stay but wouldnt recommend longer...focus is more on day trippers from Picton not on those paying top dollar to stay in the accommodation. The water taxi is charged on top of accommodation which should be included if you are staying I feel, as there is no road to drive there... Room service doesnt get done till very late in the day and we had to chase up towels, toilet paper etc. Maybe not enough staff but maybe 2 seperate staff groups would work better...one for day trippers one focused on accommodation.
Overal a relaxing stay in a comfortable room.
Great destination, so much to do and see. Nestled in a gorgeous spot. Friendly staff. Comfortable room. Great access from Queen Charlotte walking track
Really enjoyed our stay here, staff were friendly and helpful, room had everything that we needed with added bonus of a sea view. Lochmara has many activities to do we especially enjoyed kayaking as we got to see seals. The restaurant had good food and great service. We were walking the QCT and would recommend staying here as we felt it was well worth the detour.
