My mistake in not verifying the lodge location. It was listed as being in Milford Sound when it is not. Management need to adjust the door closers for kitchen n dining room. Was kept awake til 11pm with the banging. When I gave feedback to the staff, was told I had booked the basic standard room.

Super favorite place! You can arrange to check in after Glenorchy. There is a lake view in front of you and the facilities are complete. It is ok for backpackers or families! The attached self-catering kitchen is large and their restaurant is super attentive. It is very comfortable to go in, the food is delicious and the staff is great. Very loving 🥰

Beautiful place with stunning scenery. The place was needless to say immaculately kept. The Owners and the staff were all so helpful especially given the situation with the road to enter the place. Whilst the drive in and out may seem daunting at times if you want to go to Queenstown or other areas, it's still worth doing every time.. also a lot of the surrounding area was used for filming lord of the rings. Highly recommended

The most beautiful place... We stayed in the ecoscape pod. The views from our room was like a painting.. Totally breathtaking. The room itself outstanding, the bed was so comfy, shower was great. Movie screen to watch Netflix (we chose not to only because the view was so outstanding. Everything we needed was in our room. We had dinner and breakfast in the restaurant. Both meals were fabulous 10/10. absolutely delicious. The staff and owners were very attentive to everything we needed and so welcoming and friendly. We had the loveliest stay and would be back in a heartbeat. Definitely worth the trip. Over all we would rate our stay 11 out of 10. Thank you so much ❤️

I’ve been past Kinloch Wilderness Retreat on a few occasions and always wanted to stay there. I was not disappointed - the staff were friendly and the accommodation was comfortable and clean. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. I bought some food supplies in Queenstown and used the well equipped kitchen to prepare most meals. I ate at the restaurant on one night and the food was delicious
