your Marlborough Sounds experience as the view from the lodge''

If you ring to tell us your arrival time, we will try to meet you at the jetty. However this is not always possible.

On leaving the jetty, turn right and walk 5 minutes up the Queen Charlotte Track, follow the signs up the stairs or hill to the lodge.

Note the path is very steep and may not be suitable for elderly people or those with mobility problems.

See you soon!
