Conveniently accessible by water taxi from Picton, Lochmara Lodge offers exclusive accommodation surrounded by native bush and the beach. Guests can relax in a hammock overlooking Lochmara Bay. Guests enjoy free Wi-Fi.

We loved everything about our stay at Lochmara Lodge. We stayed for two nights with our family and It was a little bit of a splurge, but did not disappoint! The location was stunning, the fact that you got there by water taxi made it remote and uncrowded, and there were plenty of things to do (hike, paddleboard, kayak). Also, the food was delicious and the staff was accommodating and helpful.
