Went for a swim after arriving from Ships Cove - not a good idea!. Rained all the way and the Queen Charlotte Track was awash. However the sea was great to take the aches away.

The food was exceptional and a great selection of wines to choose from. Congratulations to the chefs. The service was also outstanding. When we came of the track we... More

Our group of 3 couples walking the Queen Charlotte Track spent the first night at Furneaux Lodge. Each couple had an excellent 2 bedroom Chalet - they were lovely and clean, well appointed, and just a stones throw from the waters edge. The evening meals were good - as was the coffee next morning. Seeing a stingray swimming around the... More
