Stewart Island Lodge
An unspoiled Island retreat nestled in the natural beauty of a bush setting in Halfmoon Bay, Stewart Island Lodge has unsurpassed views of the bay and surrounding hills. The large garden is host to many native birds, including native parrots, and many birds can be viewed right from our terrace. The Lodge provides a very high standard of comfort, with all the rooms having ensuite (bath and shower), hair dryer, shampoo and conditioner, etc. Each room (including bathroom) has central heating, the beds are king size or twin with goose down duvets and electric blankets, there is tea and coffee and fruit juice, plus a small tin of home-made biscuits (refilled daily). The rooms are made welcoming with fresh fruit and flowers, and all have beautiful views. The main building includes a bar, dining room and lounge suitably appointed with leather lounge suite, antique dining table and chairs, where you can relax in total comfort, look at the view and converse around a large fire . . . while dinner, from fish that you may well have caught yourself, is served with home grown vegetables -- true southern hospitality at its best. Meals (often described as gourmet) are gathered as much as possible from our own large garden and glass house. We use fresh local seafood including salmon, oysters and crayfish. The wines are New Zealand's, with an emphasis on the Chard Farm vineyard (Central Otago region near Queenstown) to give you a chance to try Southern climate wines. Getting there:- Stewart Island Marine operates a Catamaran from Bluff - Stewart Island, 60 minutes travelling time (scheduled service morning & afternoon) Southern Air operates from Invercargill - Stewart Island, 20 minutes (Several flights daily)
