Enjoyed an AMAZING lunch

Lovely spot

Down 16km of sealed road and 9km of slippery gravel from Glenorchy, but it's still quite popular, so you might have just as much noise as in Glenorchy, at least for a while. It's still a very nice place to sit and watch the lake...More

Amazing meals and chef

Stayed at Kinloch lodge. Food for all meals is impressive. Worth the drive from Queenstown just for the lunch!

Breakfast from the garden

John cooked a delicious breakfast. I saw him quietly wander off to the garden to pick the greens I'd ordered to accompany my poached eggs and salmon. I LOVE the use of home grown and local products. Beautifully presented from beautiful produce, and can't get...More

Delicious dinner at Kinloch Lodge!

My husband and I went here for the 3 course set menu dinner, it was absolutely delicious and unbelievably reasonable. It's a bit of a drive from Glenorchy (approx 25m) but totally worth it. Couldn't fault the food or the service - a must-do if...More

A gem at the end of a beatiful drive.
