We went on a day trip to Lochmara.The boat trip was very nice.Lunch was ok. The staff were very good.Not something I would do again, but not sorry I tried it.

This is the perfect day to relax and unwind in a gorgeous, beautiful environment. Great boat trip out to the lodge. Once there it is remote, gorgeous, there are free kayaks and my teenagers kayaked round the whole bay. The water is gorgeous (chilly) and the rope swing is a hit with the kids. The cafe serves great food. Also I loved wandering through the walks and seeing the artwork and beehives, and recycling program. An extremely create place.Unfortunately we only had one day but I would stay over in the motels and get a massage and use the Queen Charlotte Track. This place is paradise.

We took the 12-30pm returning at 5pm option which cost $45 pp. It takes about 20 minutes to get to Lochmara from Picton on the boat. Once there there is plenty to do and explore especially if you have kids. Swimming, rope swings, free kayaks, animal feeding, very cool bird feeding, and a few walks with hammocks and art work all over the place. Lunch was reasonable but limited menu. Battered fish n chips and Pork Belly burger n chips were around the $26 mark so not overly expensive. There are plenty of loungers or tables littered around the cafe to soak up the views. A nice way to spend an afternoon.

We had three wonderful days at Lockmara Lodge during our trip to NZ and this stay was the highlight. The ride on the water taxi from Picton set the scene with the skipper helping us on and off the boat with our heavy luggage. Paula welcomed us at the jetty and looked after us from there. The restaurant was excellent and the service friendly. It is a great place to sample a quiet paddle on the water, or as we did, a great walk up to the Queen Charlotte Track. We are already planning to visit again next year.

I had heard of Loachmara and we were on a cruise that stopped in Picton. I stopped in at the info desk in Picton and asked how to get there. The person said "ah, that is a hidden gem! You will love it". We went to the pier at her suggestion and paid $45.(AUS)/person at the tours desk. That got us a speedboat "ferry" ride over to the lodge and admittance onto the grounds. Our boat driver Paul was very nice and explained the local jellyfish to me and made us feel very welcome. Once there we had unlimited access to kayaking, hiking, hammocking and petting the animals on the grounds. They had free-roaming chickens, native NZ pigs (short but strong and cute), native NZ eels and the NZ Kakariki birds. If you are at the Kakariki aviary during feeding time, you can hand feed them. It is amazing. There is also a dog on site that will be happy to play fetch with you. There is a small beach for swimming and tons of hiking trails. The trails are all dotted with artwork of various sorts from totems to scuptures. I suggest taking the hike up to hammock heaven. The view everywhere on these grounds is amazing. We did have some bread with dips at the cafe along with a piece of NZ candy cake. Both were very good. We would liked to have tried a few more items but the prices were quite high. They also have a small art gallery and a lodge on site. We did not stay at the lodge, but we plan to return at some point to try it out. The best part of all of this, is that there was only 1 other couple there from our cruise and we ran into only a handful of people all afternoon. Serenity.

An interesting & picturesque location that makes for a good day trip. Eco sensitive & animals to observe

Lochmara for us is just a skip from home but its our never fail "go to" place for visitors when they come... the staff are awesome and food and drinks are great ... it is literally relaxing in paradise...

I can understand why Lockmara is popular with families but for a couple it was a big disappointment. Our initial room was motel-style with zero privacy, smack in the middle of a public area. The lodge staff was very accommodating and we paid extra to upgrade to a "suite" -- which was a larger motel-style room but did have a great view, was private, and was clean. However, we were briefly without water (a common occurrence I understand). The restaurant was ok (pricey relative to the quality); the hostess was not very friendly. We wanted to kayak but the very few kayaks were old and poor quality, and the life jackets were smelly and in ill repair. All equipment was "self-service" without a sign-in or sign-out; as such, equipment was not properly returned making it difficult to know if something was abandoned on the beach or in use. Fortunately we booked a private kayak trip in Queen Charlotte Sound that was amazing but had nothing to do with the lodge. I was able to get a fabulous massage at a reasonable price.Overall, while it might be a fun day trip for families, I can't recommend this lodge for an overnight stay -- especially if your time is limited and you want to enjoy the many wonderful outdoor adventures NZ offers. Stay in Picton and enjoy what Malborough Sounds has to offer.

3rd time we have visited Lochmara, each time it's been amazing. So much to see and do if you want to, or you could just lie in a hammock and read a book!

Every time we visit the Marlborough Sounds we have to take the boat to Lochmara for a day trip. The restaurant is lovely with delicious food. My son loves to visit the birds and we all enjoy walking around the trail to see all the sculptures. Very entertaining watching people do the rope swing and nice just to relax on the beach. They are always helpful when you show up with your boat. They tell you what mooring to use and then come out and collect you. And when you are ready to leave take you back to your boat again. For us it wouldn't be a holiday in the sounds without coming for a visit.
