Fiordland Lodge
Joining the ranks of New Zealand's top luxury lodges in 2002, Fiordland Lodge combines comfort and indulgence with design that reflects the rich Fiordland landscape.
Created by owners Ron and Robynne Peacock, the lodge is located just north of Te Anau. Inside the lodge an 11 metre high floor to ceiling wall of glass provides views of Lake Te Anau and the Kepler and Murchison mountains beyond.
Large logs and native timbers are used as structural supports throughout. Hundreds of Oregon logs, sourced from the Dusky Forest near Tapanui in Southland support the ceiling. The timber floors are native silver beech, milled and kiln-dried at Tuatapere in Southland. In the foyer a kowhai tree, salvaged from Te Anau Downs, supports the mezzanine floor, and a large slab of native rimu, washed ashore on the Fiordland coast, serves as the bar and reception counter.
The fireplace, built of stone from nearby Upukerora River, encompasses an entire wall, complete with a mantle piece fashioned from beams from old bridges on the Milford Road.
The fishing theme runs throughout the lodge. Those wanting to get outdoors can make their own fishing tackle at the lodge and fish nearby rivers and streams with the owner Ron, a professional fishing guide.
