Hand-Picked Hotel
Furneaux Lodge
Travel to family-owned Furneaux Lodge in the beautiful Marlborough Sounds and you’ll find yourself in paradise. Located at the head of Endeavour Inlet on New Zealand’s South Island, this is a place where time doesn’t exist. The lodge is the perfect place to relax and unwind, surrounded by a rollercoaster of forest-clad hills and nudging green-blue water. There’s a range of accommodation options available to suit your needs, from contemporary suites to basic hiker’s cabins and family-friendly cottages, all set among natural beauty. The lodge is only accessible by foot or bike on the Queen Charlotte Track, or by boat from Picton, giving you a real sense of being away from it all. Bring your appetite to the Furneaux Restaurant where you can tuck into local seafood dishes – the juicy mussels are a must – hearty burgers, or a platter to share. Pair with a regional wine to get a true taste of Marlborough. The sweeping sea views are the ideal accompaniment to a sumptuous meal.
