Independent in Admiralty Bay from NZ$211

"After our longest walk on the 4 day Queen Charlotte Track, this resort was a delight to end with. The room was comfortable and the shower hot. They had a lovely bar area for a pre-dinner drink and dinner was delicious. We found the water conservation and rainwater use fascinating and applaud their efforts. We were a little concerned about the long downhill on the road to get to the lodge from the track knowing we had to go up the next day. Imagine the wonderful surprise when the front desk told us they shuttle trekkers to the track in their van. A super nice way to start as the track started with a long, steep uphill. Highly recommended "

"After our second day walking the Queen Charlotte Track, this resort was a lovely way to end the day. The room was comfortable and the shower hot and excellent pressure! Their restaurant has been damaged but they let us know that in advance and continued to provide excellent meals at the spacious dock or delivered to the room. We ate at the dock for dinner and breakfast. They also provided a delicious bag lunch on request. The trek back uphill to the track was a bit more strenuous than we wanted to start our longest day!"

"After our first day walking the Queen Charlotte Track, the place was an oasis! The room was lovely, the shower perfect and dinner was delicious. They provided a bag lunch on request for our next day. They work well with the cougar line and our bags were in our room when we arrived. It is a lovely resort in a picturesque setting. "

"Sara was very easy to communicate with and the accommodation was as described "

"This spot was amazing for its location and accessibility. Tanya and Shane were utterly incredible and kind, and we really enjoyed the both of them. We stayed to be able to ride our bikes on the Queen Charlotte Track and surrounding area, and I thought it was the perfect spot, especially with there being a bike wash on property. The stay was quiet and peaceful when we desired it to be, but also alive when we wanted to go biking or out and about. Both Tanya and Shane went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and had all the local knowledge we needed. We enjoyed an extended talk with Tanya, and we really enjoyed her. I would definitely suggest staying here. "

"Great space and loved our holiday. Thank you so much "

"The staff were incredibly helpful. One of them, in Picton before we got on the ferry, told us how to see the bioluminescence, which was fantastic. The young man who took us around to feed the animals and the marine biologist who told us about the marine life on the viewing platform were incredibly knowledgable. The room was pretty and we had a good view if we sat outside. We also loved the hammocks and the glow worms."

"Amazing place to stay, so peaceful and the bush setting was awesome listening to the bird life. Very beautiful and relaxing "

"Great place thank you"
