Your hosted wilderness lodge on New Zealand’s West Coast.
A place to slow down, reconnect, and breathe again.

Nestled along the tranquil southern shore of Lake Brunner, enveloped by ancient protected podocarp rainforest, Lake Brunner Eco Lodge embodies the essence of a secluded wilderness sanctuary. Here, amidst a backdrop of native birdsong, lush vegetation, enchanting glow worms, cascading waterfalls, and celestial vistas, lies a haven for nature & outdoor enthusiasts and stargazers alike.  For Anglers we have a selection of guides who work with us and Fly fishing packages are available.

Steeped in history, this quaint lodge, erected in 1935 by its visionary proprietors, Mr. and Mrs. Morgan, exudes warmth and charm. The Morgans' pioneering spirit is evidenced in the hydro-power system they established utilising the nearby Carew Falls—a sustainable legacy that endures to this day.

Now warmly hosted by Brenda and Tammy Lynch this family owned and operated lodge boasts timeless elegance with its graceful rimu paneling and majestic fireplaces, reminiscent of the region's rich milling heritage and rugged West Coast climate. Expansive windows invite the breathtaking beauty of the surrounding forest and lake indoors, ensuring an immersive experience regardless of weather conditions. Accommodations include three lake-view suites and four forest-view suites, all meticulously appointed for spacious comfort. Indulge in culinary delights at Mitchells Restaurant and Bar, unwind in inviting lounge areas, or partake in leisurely pursuits like billiards and darts in the charming library ambiance.

For the ultimate relaxation, a private hot tub awaits amidst the verdant embrace of the forest, mere steps from your suite.  Beyond the lodge, a myriad of adventures awaits, beckoning guests to explore the rugged landscapes of the West Coast. Whether angling for prized brown trout in Lake Brunner or the surrounding rivers, or embarking on exhilarating hikes along Mount French or Te Kinga tracks, the Lake Brunner Eco Lodge experience transcends the boundaries of its idyllic setting.
