The Lodge
harmony, elegance & privacy
Set in a World
Heritage (click here for area map) area Fiordland
Lodge offers the discerning traveller comfort and privacy.
The elegance and splendour of the Lodge is mirrored in the breathtaking
views of Lake Te Anau and Fiordland.
Private and serene, the Lodge is perfect for relaxation, or as
a base for your Fiordland experience.
warm, spacious & peaceful
The open architecture of Fiordland Lodge reflects the vastness
of the Fiordland National Park. Echoes of the forest are found in
the striking natural timber construction.
High ceilings, full trunk pillars and a massive riverstone fireplace
provide a warm spacious environment with a sense of solidity and
style.
A commanding staircase leads from the impressive lounge to a peaceful
inviting mezzanine, complete with library and fly tying area.
exceptional food, traditional comfort
The Lodge's comfortable dining area serves excellent food coupled
with superb wine from the cellar .
Sun dried and hand peeled New Zealand oregon logs feature throughout
the building with exposed log beams and log trusses supporting sarked
timber ceilings.
In the lounge, a lattice work of huge log trusses soar to over
thirty-six feet above and surround a large open fire, clad with
local river stone. This is a focus point where one can relax and
reflect on the day's adventures and plan tomorrow's.
Large solid timber tables are fitted out in the dining area where
local cuisine is a feature of the menu. The dining area is complimented
by the wine cellar from where the evenings wine can be chosen.
Accommodation
guest rooms
The ten luxury guest rooms - one an executive suite with separate
lounge area for private entertaining - look out across Lake Te Anau.
Each guest room is furnished with super king size beds and appointed
private bathrooms.
log cabins
Complementing the Fiordland Lodge's ten double guest rooms are
two traditionally built log cabins, ideal for families, providing
bed and breakfast.
The warm interiors feature extensive use of recycled native New
Zealand timber.
Each cabin sleeps five and is self contained with a kitchen/ dining
area and private bathroom.
The cabins are on an elevated site with magnificent views to the
northwest, across Lake Te Anau and the mountains of Fiordland National
Park.
Discover Fiordland
Te Anau and the surrounding area provide a wide variety of activities
from passive sightseeing to adrenalin pumping adventure.
Fiordland's National Park is one of the world's most beautiful
areas. Discover the magic of Milford Sound or Doubtful Sound.
New Zealand abounds in excellent walking tracks and here in Fiordland
we are based at the gate-way to one of the world's greatest National
Parks which is now part of the "Southwest New Zealand World
Heritage Area."
The Te Anau and Fiordland region are promoted as the "walking
and sight-seeing capital of the world" and rightfully so as
in this region alone, there are over 500km of walking tracks and
we believe the scenery just does not get any better anywhere. Fiordland
Lodge is the departure point for the world famous Milford,
Routeburn and Hollyford Tracks.
Fully guided golf tours of Southland and Otago are available golf
tours, as are fly fishing, horse
trekking and 4-wheel motorbiking to name
a few.
A small sample of other activities include sea
or lake kayaking, hiking, nature
walks, alpine flower tours in the summer,
bird watching and glow worm caves. |
