Experience the natural beauty of Fiordland National Park

An architecturally designed lodge set high up on a ridge. Surrounded by 150 acres of farmland with views of the mountains of Fiordland National Park, Lake Te Anau and the picturesque Te Anau township. Your hosts, Ross and Joan, opened the lodge in 2011 after running a high country farm for over 40 years.

A place renowned for friendly laid-back locals, endless nature and plenty of water activities. A perfect base to explore the mystical Milford Sound Road, Doubtful Sound, glowworm caves or the bird sanctuary. Go fishing, sailing or kayaking on Lake Te Anau. Taste the region’s finest produce at the local restaurants, try deer, lobster or freshly caught seafood.

Explore all the nooks and crannies of the national park or conquer one of the three ‘Great Walks’ in the region - Milford, Kepler or Routeburn Track. Your hosts have an abundance of local knowledge to share with you. Visit places you won’t find in any guidebook.
