We booked for one night initially, then stayed for two. We then came back for more later in our holiday. The hospitality was superb - it was like staying with old friends. Nothing was too much trouble. Breakfasts unbeatable, views incredible, company wonderful. If you are looking for beautiful and friendly New Zealand - stay here.

We had the unexpected pleasure of staying here on July 24th and 25th during a period of heavy snow that made that all roads were closed. It was a classical movie experience were you are snowed in in a small town with others that you haven't seen before and thanks to the great hospitality of Peter and Margaret it was... More

We had a lovely 3 days in this divine B&B, using it as a base to explore the surrounding areas and visit family and friends. Lodge was so clean and peaceful. Beautiful linen and great views from your bedroom! Breakfast was top! Will definitely go back again. Thank you!

We had read the reviews on TripAdvisor and expected this place to be 'a cut above'. We were not disappointed. There is nothing negative to be said about Tranquillity Lodge.

The setting on the very shores of the lake was fantastic and the accomodation absolutely superb and could not be faulted in any way. The cherry on the top were our hosts who could not have been more attentive without in any way being... More

My wife and I recently stayed at Tranquility Lodge and we both agree that we would've loved to stay for longer. Maragret and Peter are excellent hosts who make you feel very welcomed. Our room was very well appointed and had amazing veiws up the lake. We ended the day in the spa with a glass of wine... just what... More

This was one of those places where you stumble upon and thank goodness we did. It was a unique experience where we engaged with locals and were treated like royalty. Every angle catered for, as Peter and Margaret's measured hospitality was balanced with respect for privacy, yet good company and conversation was always responded to with good humour. An personal...

My husband and I stayed at Tranquillity Lodge for one night and wish it had been longer. Margaret and Peter are great hosts, warm and friendly without being pushy or trying to dominate your stay. They really looked after us and made our stay very special. After we arrived we enjoyed a lovely glass of wine on the deck, soaking... More
