Furneaux Lodge

Went for a coffee stop on our walk to the Lodge, it was a beautiful day in a beautiful setting. But here came the biggest disappointment. payment for two coffees $19 !! My friend paid, so I had no idea, till the comment was made about it on the table. We ordered two coffees at the bar, one large Oat Mocca and a regular Flat White, both in a take away cup. We did not had to wait long, the coffees were made. What we received - two take a way cups, which had the same size and looked more like a small serving. The coffee was ok, but not the best quality in taste & temperature. A few hours later, on our way back to the Lodge, we popped by again to find out about the ridiculous high charges, we were wondering about, how they came together. There were no prices displayed at all on the Coffee bar's board. I know it is not a legal requirement, but would be helpful and appreciated! So we looked into the menu and found out that each coffee was $8, Oat milk $1 and each take away cup $1 !! Well, the person who took the order, never mentioned anything about the $1 charge for a take away cup, which I believe should've been pointed out, nor it was mentioned that the coffees are all the same size in serving. Furneaux Lodge, I believe you can do better than that!! Improvement is needed here!! You got such a perfect spot where you are placed in the Sounds, you have lots of visitors coming through, and people in New Zealand are high coffee lovers! And foreign visitors appreciate how we do coffee here too. Agree, that you pay transport $ to get your goods out there, but you shouldn't get greedy and spoil a Furneaux Lodge experience by charging those kind of money!

Had a night at Furneaux Lodge on Day 1 of the Queen Charlotte Track. What an absolute treat! We stayed in the hikers cabins. They're not big but enough room for hubby & I and our luggage. Heater was on when we arrived so was lovely and warm. New shared bathroom facilities - showers, toilets, hand basin. All very clean. We had dinner & drinks followed by breakfast the next morning. Food was great and staff were friendly. The setting is just stunning. Would love to take our adult children & their partners for a visit some time in future. Arrived at neighbouring accommodatio Palm Cove on Day 2 of track & got a hand-delivered parcel from Furneaux from one of the staff at Palm Cove. I'd left my PJs behind and they must have put it on one of the next water taxis. Thank you Furneaux Lodge so nice to know good old fashioned service is alive and well in NZ : )

We LOVED our stay at Furneaux lodge. Hands down the best experience along the Queen charlotte track. The setting was magical and the food was super delicious.

Excellent. This place is a real treat. Blown away by the beauty of this place. Very comfortable accomodation right on the Queen Charlotte Track. Our patio had a gorgeous view and led straight down to the water. There were hammocks and a hot tub right there by the lodge. We had a lovely dinner and breakfast.

my family and i went for a day trip to furneaux lodge. having gone last year, we knew that it would be a good experience as it was a great one last year. we booked ourselves a table and ordered food and drinks. the issue arose when we received our “iced chocolates” if they can be called that. they were hot chocolates that had been dumped in a tall glass and had ice put in them. the bottom half of the drink was still hot, and had absolutely zero flavour. i didn’t want to be that complaining karen so i asked politely at the bar starting with the words “i hate sounding fussy” as i hate complaining and being that person. i explained the issue, and the man that served me rudely told me that they are made that way and i explained they were still hot on the bottom. i gestured the glass for him to feel, and he snatched it out of my hand, threw a curt “ill make a new one” over his shoulder, and threw the contents of the glass so harshly into the sink, it went all up the backsplash. i expected better than this type of service. aside from that, awesome food and awesome time with my family :)

We walked to Furneaux Lodge from Punga Cove and stayed for lunch. We had reserved a table and we were very grateful to be seated earlier than our planned booking (the walk didn't take as long as suggested). Absolutely outstanding food - shared a baked brie, delicious fish and chips and outstanding fillet steak as well as a great wine selection! Joanne was an attentive waitress despite the clearly busy day it was (lots of very large tables seated around us). Would highly recommend a lunch stop here. Thank you!
