Anakiwa Lodge

Anakiwa Lodge is a modern boutique 5 star backpackers similar to a small hotel, a 35 min scenic drive from Picton. An ideal self contained base for walking, kayaking or mountain biking in the Marlborough Sounds. Looking for excellent quality, comfort and value? Our guests have consistently rated their stay as one of the best in their NZ travels. We guarantee it is worth the drive to experience our premium rooms and sparkly clean facilities. The pace here is quiet, comfortable, relaxed and the lodge is warm & secure. We are 70m from the waterfront, an easy walk but also a peaceful location, away from the visitor traffic and student noise down by the beach. Take a bed in our four bed multishare room, or one of our modern private double room options, or maybe upgrade to the premium deluxe ensuite room with large exterior deck. The popular Queen Charlotte Track is only 5 mins walk from our doorstep. No expensive track transfers! Explore the bays, take a boat cruise, use our free kayaks, go swimming, mountain biking or walking on the local tracks. The local wildlife is all around us here. Pukekos, wekas, seals, dolphins, blue penguins, stingrays and a huge variety of land and shore birds. Just relax and listen to the chorus of local bird calls. Cook up a feast in our warm modern kitchen and dine with a selection of great music. Wind down with a soak in the large luxury hot spa pool and then retire to the movie lounge for some big screen entertainment. We look forward to your stay with us.
