Fiordland Lodge

We stayed here 2 nights. This lodge is beautiful, relaxing with great views outside. It is very clean at the lodge. The food is delicious as we are picky eaters and they accommodated all our requests. The outstanding people are Hailey, Michelle and Rosie for most of our meals. They were patient, polite, and professional. You cannot ask for more from a lodge. Thank you for tolerating our many many requests with a smile on your face and an incredibly pleasant demeanor. Really great. Also want to compliment,Jasmine, Jimmy, Niamh and the chef! We highly recommend this place to stay, eat and relax!! You won’t be sorry.

We stayed at Fiordland Lodge for 2 nights in December as part of a wedding. The lodge is situated just 5 minutes out of Te Anau, and is tucked away into the countryside off the beaten track. You could drive by a thousand times and not realise it was there... as you take a right and drive to the path towards to lodge, it reveals itself in all it's glory. You enter through big wooden doors and are greeted immediately and warmly. The main hall is absolutely stunning, looking out over rolling green and towards an amazing mountain range. The lodge is full of wood and every detail is considered. The rooms are incredible, heated bathroom floors, real animal rugs (we think seal...?) And just everything though about. Even a cafieterre for your coffee in bed in the AM...our room held the same view as the main hall, with a balcony running across 4 rooms in the stretch. Almost surreal... Food was outstanding. A surf and turf style crayfish and venison medley in the first evening for all. Breakfast was to order and hosted a selection of kiwi classics (mince on toast) and staples such as a cracking eggs benedict and full english choices. Just quality ingredients carefully considered and cooked really really well. Warm, homely but fine too. Drinks was mainly coffee - a cracking flat white in the morning. Espresso was bang on, not over or underextracted, and milk was ideally steamed, with a bit of latte art too. Exactly what you'd expect to find in a speciality roasters. I didn't ask for any cocktails as I don't believe the bar was set up for volume cocktail work, but great selection of beers, whisky and a brilliant wine list. All in, an amazing stay and somewhere we will never forget! Andy, James and all the staff really go above and beyond to make life special when you are there.

The diner was exceptional but being a modern style cuisine portions might be small for some people . The very professional and kind staff made the evening very enjoyable. The wines list is amazing and quite impressive. We have some very famous wines and they delighted our palates. The maitre D was splendid.

Fiordland Lodge Outstanding accommodation with spectacular views from every angle. Excellent local menu items superbly prepared for lodge guests and very friendly staff!

Wonderful Stay The Fiordland Lodge is a wonderful place to relax and feel at home while traveling. The staff are very knowledgeable, helpful, and warm. The Lodge itself is in perfect condition and the included breakfast is a wonderful addition. We hope to stay again in the near future.

A cozy place in Fiordland! Our stay was really good, but we strongly suggest the hotel makes the correction of many very popular websites where they indicates the availability of elevator which is not correct. We are frecquent travellers of more than 20 years and we always aime for 5* Hotels and this is the first time ever that we have found a closing time for breakfast as early as 9 o’clock.
