We booked a couple of nights at Peters place in Marlborough sounds. It was one of the highlights of our trip to New Zealand.
The lodge is completely secluded and private with stunning views into the bay. Accessible by water taxi. The queen charlotte track is about 40 mins walk from the lodge. Such a beautiful house with a lot of little touches that made the place feel like home the minute we stepped in. Good spacious open plan kitchen/dining/lounge with a nice big wood burning stove that heats up the place. The night sky has no light pollution so would recommend stargazing on a clear night.
There were three kayaks which we used to get out into the water for a few hours. Lots of sea life around to spot such as sting rays and various fish species.
You will need to have supplies for the duration of your stay or equally the lochmara lodge is a steep but short walk away.
I would highly recommend staying here and connecting with nature. We only wish we had longer! Would definitely return here if we’re ever in New Zealand again.
Thank you Peter
