More than just a place to stay

Lochmara is a locally owned and operated small waterfront resort with your hosts Niki and Chris ready to welcome you all. Lochmara Lodge is a resort with no road access, located in Lochmara Bay, Queen Charlotte Sound, Picton, New Zealand. Lochmara has 14 rooms, a waterfront cafe, and is set on 11 acres of land with plenty of activities to keep all our guests entertained.

Come and enjoy a way of life, noting there is no road access, although we can easily arrange water transport for you from Picton on the Lochmara Water Taxi (charges apply). Lochmara also has a scenic 3.5km walking track to the world-famous Queen Charlotte Track. We offer exceptional accommodation, day trips, and you can add an Underwater Observatory tour to your day, which is one of only two in New Zealand.

Join us for a day, a meal, or a longer stay and you’ll soon realise Lochmara truly is..."Once Discovered... Never Forgotten".
