Furneaux Lodge

Perfect. The facilities were great. Pool table, spa, badminton etc plus kayaks. Our room was excellent with plenty of room for us (2 adults 2 teens) to sit around. Wifi was good. Staff were great. The view from our room/ deck was so beautiful. The restaurant/bar was very good and lots of food options. It was priced high but it is remote and inaccessible so it was justified. Couldn’t fault it - an absolutely lovely place and would definitely go again!

Amazing Resort. A true gem of a resort and one of the best along the Queen Charlotte Track. The chefs at this resort need recognition, the dishes being served are some of the best I’ve ever experienced for taste and quality. The bar menu from breakfast, lunch and evening meals was very thoughtful and very enjoyable. Max, Jack and Nico who worked in the bar / Restaurant worked so well together they made our experience special. If you are looking to do the Queen Charlotte Track then you MUST add this resort to your stay. There are works going on around the suits and the best options are the cottages. The works are ongoing but will add to the resort availability. Cottage 3 was super clean, two bedrooms with amazing views of the bay. Until next time

I know opinions vary depending on where you stay at FL, but I for one had a wonderful stay for my birthday a few weeks ago. We stayed in one of the couples chalets, Endeavour Suites, and not too close to the hot tub which was in constant use (maybe there needs to be two haha). I had brought our own snacks but we splurged on a bottle of wine & had a lovely afternoon relaxing & enjoying the stunning views. The chalet was gorgeous. Don’t think there were any negatives. Maybe more hooks in the bathroom? I loved the bathroom products and wish I’d bought a gift pack as a reminder because they all smelt amazing! We also splashed out on the seafood platter for our bday dinner (it was husband’s bday as well) and special mention to the staff (man and two women -all dark haired) who were attentive, friendly, warm and efficient :) We were lucky enough to have cracking weather for our stay and the walk to Punga Cove the next day was the icing on a very sumptuous cake. Thank you Furneaux for a lovely weekend!

From the free overnight mooring, tender service, and warm welcome from the whole team, we had an amazing service experience at Furneaux Lodge. The restaurant menu offers a first class range of delicious dinner and breakfast options plus an excellent wine list (we didn’t stay for lunch). Really enjoyed our dining experience in the cosy lodge by the fire. But our suite for the night was a special treat. Very comfortable, well appointed, with gorgeous waterfront views. Impressed by the quality furnishings, artwork, a separate lounge, large bathroom and the high gable ceiling added that extra luxe and spacious feel. Set in a gorgeous bay at the end of an inlet, the property is surrounded by beautiful water and bush views and birdsong. Everyone was so attentive and friendly. Absolutely loved it, thanks for a fabulous stay!

Upon our arrival we were given a lovely lodge (quite new) but with lots of construction taking place right in front (they are building new staff quarters). After mentioning this to reception we were moved to a 2 bedroom lodge - which was older but at least quiet - where we stayed the night. For the money paid, I must say accommodations are very, very basic and pretty dated. However its all about location which is hard to beat in Marlborough Sounds. The arrangements between Punga Cove (same owners) so that luggage can be moved between the two properties is an added value so that guests can walk between the 2 hotels which is a real experience. Breakfast and dinner in the hotel were both excellent and once again, it's all about the setting of this hotel.

Delightful luxury on first night of QCS track
