The name “Remarkables Lodge” might seem a bit pretentious until one learns first that the lodge derives its name from the magnificent Remarkables Mountains that rise about 3000 feet above it (their base beginning in what is essentially the lodge’s back yard). The second thing one will learn during a visit is that the Remarkables is truly remarkable. My wife... more

This is going to sound exactly like all the other reviews, but this is truly an exceptional place. We have stayed at many lodges in Europe as well as B&Bs in the US and expect the highest level of service when a premium price is charged. The Remarkables Lodge delivered in every way from the attentive staff to the thoughtfully... more

Don't miss out on a truly remarkable experience! This Lodge has it all: a tastefully luxurious environment, tremendous dining and hosts Colleen and Brian who gave us such a warm welcome. Indeed they and their staff made everything simple, organising our helicopter flight to Milford Sound (which picked us up right in the Lodge grounds), and booked other activities for... more

The Remarkables Lodge sits at the foot of the magnificent Remarkable Range, literally in the back yard. The scenery is stunning, the staff attentive, and extremely accommodating, arranging activities, varying the outstanding menu selections for our finicky kids, etc. We felt as though we were guests in the home of some longtime friends! There were many amenities which we didn't... more

David and Chris Keirle Nov 2007 A lodge which truly lives up to its name! Tucked away behind trees, at the foot of the Remarkables Range just at the northern end of Lake Wakatipu, the Remarkables Lodge proved to be a wonderful experience for Chris and I on our recent trip to Queenstown in mid November 2007 Bryan and Colleen,... more

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! The Remarkables Lodge was the highlight of our 5 week tour of New Zealand in February / March 2007. My husband and I chose this wonderful lodge as the location of our wedding, set at the foot of the stunning Remarkables Mountains. The proprietors Brian and Colleen, alongwith the very lovely Abbie made our wedding day a... more

We have just returned from a fantastic trip to New Zealand. Part of our trip was spent on the North Island and a part was on the South Island. Both beautiful even in winter. Our stay at Remarkables was wonderful. From the time we arrived to the time we departed we had a great time. Great accomodations, the food was... more

This was definitely the highlight of our visit to New Zealand. Magnificent setting, wonderful accomodation, superb food, excellent service and great hosts and staff - what more could you want! The location is outstanding with the Remarkables Mountains seemingly within touching distance. The garden was a delightful and peaceful place to relax in surrounded by colourful flowers, mature trees and... more

I could run out of superlatives writing this review. The Remarkables Lodge is in a fantastic location, being literally at the foot of the Remarkables range. It's a joy just to arrive there with the magnificant mountains in the background. Brian & Colleen are brilliant hosts and made us most welcome in their very comfortable lodge. Our room was very... more
