 Lochmara
Lodge was built in 1997 by Marlborough locals, Shayne Olsen and Louise Bright.
"In only a short time we have achieved national and international recognition as being one of the best places to stay in New Zealand.
"One aspect that has remained constant over the past decade is our continued dedication towards art, conservation and education as part of sustainable
and responsible tourism. In 2007 we established the Marlborough Sounds Wildlife Recovery Centre and Arts Centre. These centres allow us to continue our work in protecting
our native environment and providing opportunities for visitors to experience New Zealand art by offering environmental tours. The art and conservation activities
undertaken by the Centres are now an integral part of the Lodge which visitors can see by visiting our New Zealand art galleries, bird and gecko enclosures for New Zealand
bird watching, and exploring the Lodge and bushwalks.
"In the same year, we opened the Lochmara Café with a focus on organic and local, offering a new choice of restaurant for Marlborough and Picton. We also
opened the new chalet accommodation overlooking the Bay, bringing the total number of units and chalets up to 14. Finally, we developed a facility for conferences and
workshops, and established an education programme for school groups.
"Lochmara Lodge is still family owned and operated accommodation, and we have a great team of kiwi and overseas staff who are as passionate and dedicated
as we are. We look forward to welcoming you to our place."
