Lochmara Lodge Wildlife Recovery and Arts Centre

Unique and breathtakingly beautiful, Lochmara Lodge offers a total experience…whether you want to get active, play and explore, or relax and indulge there is something here for you.

Lochmara Lodge is tucked beside the water's edge in Lochmara Bay, has its own beach and is surrounded by the bush clad hills of the Marlborough Sounds.

Easily accessible by our scheduled water taxi from Picton (we can arrange for you, charges apply) or for people seeking Queen Charlotte Track accommodation, the Lodge is a wonderful retreat with no road access and no TVs - just the pristine bush environment, countless activity options including free use of our kayaks, million dollar views, and colourful native birdlife.

FREE Wifi.

Daily feeding of the Kakariki (NZ native parrot) who will eat seed out of your hand...Lochmara Lodge is a unique and vibrant centre for the arts in the stunning Marlborough Sounds. The Arts Centre supports and celebrates New Zealand artists and provides a unique venue for visitors and art lovers to access and interact with art and the artists themselves.
