There is much to love about Wilderness Lodge - but mostly it is the amazing team here who take care of you. Michael and Hannah who operate the lodge are just wonderful, as is the talented chef Jamie. Our guide Paddy was so friendly, knowledgeable and lots of fun on our twice daily nature walks. The lodge is well set up with really nice rooms and everything you could want. The location is on a sheep station but surrounded by beautiful beech forest. Daily adventures were either walks from the lodge or a drive to a new and exciting location. Plan for at least three nights!

Stayed here as part of my wonderful Back Roads hiking tour. Can't say enough about how much I loved my stay here. The lodge is the right combination of luxury/authenticity - not at all pretentious but true elegant comfort. Our room was comfortable and clean - the best part was the stunning view. Happy to see that hotel wastefulness was minimized. Large refillable shampoo, etc. No automatic towel changes after just one night. Food was delicious - they accommodated my vegetarian husband deliciously and creatively. I am pescatarian - it was easy for me. My only comment was that dinner service was a bit slow, may have been because we were dining as a group. The stargazing talk and sheep shearing demo were both highlights of our trip. We did some of the on property hikes - got a bit lost, felt markings could have been better. At the next lodge (their sister property) we used laminated guides when we hiked - we may have missed them here. Everyone who worked here was professional, pleasant and knowledgeable. The free laundry works well. Internet was not bad but there's so much to do and see you shouldn't need internet for much. Price was embedded in my tour price, this property justified the high tour price in my mind.…

Beautiful location with amazing views, great food & informative nature walks. Don't miss out on the guided tours - you'll learn so much! Do as much nearby hiking as you can, the forest is magical & beautiful waterfalls abound. After visiting this lodge, we drove West & South to the other Wilderness Lodge & I highly recommend that you do the same! It was a beautiful drive & the second lodge was just as enjoyable as this one (but both very different from each other). What a wonderful way to see the South Island!

Here in New Zealand on a two month holiday, when I arrived at Wilderness Lodge and offered either a coffee or tea with cake and was advised what Wilderness Lodge has to offer for my three nights stay, and wether I wanted my meals by myself or as part of a group and for me as a single traveler that’s great being together at dinner also at breakfast. On entering my room what greeted me was the most wonderful view looking out the the mountains. The room was clean and well presented, no TV but that’s fine as I didn’t come on my holiday to sit in front of a television. First of all I had a very restful stroll around the Rainbow Walk, and then in the early evening we had a guided walk with lots of useful information about the landscape and wildlife. Next morning I was offered the chance to go kayaking something I had never done before after a bit of hesitation I decided to give it a go, with some of the other guests, I was teamed up in a double kayak with my instructor Michael,after we all had our life vests on off we went and I really had a great time, along with the kayaking we went ashore for coffee/Tea with biscuits, it’s the little thoughts that count for me, The Lodge has a small bar with a good selection of wines available, meals in the restaurant were for me of a high standard and well served by the whole team. Hopefully I will return some time in the future to sample the Wilderness Lodge.…
