"Stayed here for a night before a Doubtful Sound cruise. The location was perfect (right down the street from the RealNZ ferry). The facilities were simple but very comfy. Right along the water with multiple paths around the grounds. Felt like a cool little community with many different travelers. Would definitely recommend to anyone traveling to this area!"

"Very nice staff!! And great restaurant on site. Great bed"

"The lodge is located in a very remote location, despite of getting groceries are so inconvenient, Blake showed great generosity and hospitality to all the guests, make us feel like staying in an old friend's house. Kitchen, bathroom, and bed linen are of 5-stars clean. If you're planning to go on the Hump Ridge Track, choose Rarakau Lodge for your pre-departure accommodation is definitely the best option. "

"We loved the old style charm. So well equipped. Open fire. Really enjoyable stay. Thank you. "

"Beautiful escape from the city. Friendly host, cozy farmland setting, and kitchen cookware provided. Would definitely stay here again."

"Having to walk up and down steep stairs to the bathroom when you are 90 didnt appeal"
