This place could be great if the owners weren't so awful.The setting is nice and convenient to see Stewart Island, although it is grossly overpriced. The owners & family are rude, condescending, and act as though the guests are imposing on them. They clearly do not have the personality types to run a luxury lodge and should think seriously about... more

The Stewart Island Lodge is now under new management (commencing August 2008). Recently refurbished, this upmarket lodge has six bedrooms, all with ensuites, private balconies and stunning ocean views. Its large grounds are home to many native birds, including kaka (native parrots). The revised tariff now includes an evening aperitif and appetisers, plus a cooked breakfast. Thank you for the...

We had a wonderful weekend on Stewart Island with 4 other couples. Our group of ten booked out the 5 rooms at the Stewart Island Lodge for 3 nights. It was all done over the internet, the pictures were wonderful. We looked forward to spending the weekend together in an environment that was quiet, scenic, and one where we could... more

The lodge claims that guests should feel welcome to relax in the guest lounge, but unless... more

we stayed at this lodge on the advice of the lonely planet guide as a 'top end' place to stay on Stewart Island, whilst we appreciate there are few places to stay on the Island we thought $ 330 AKD dollars each for one nights DBB was quite steep and were therefore expecting something special. Whilst Margaret and Doug were... more

The lodge is situated on a very lovely hilltop overlooking the bay. The lodge and room was very well appointed. While Margaret was very nice and gracious, Doug seemed to have a somewhat hostile attitude toward guests who spend too much time at the lodge. Whilst I was relaxing in the common room, Doug seemed annoyed that I was spending... more
