Mahana Lodge is nestled in the picturesque Marlborough Sounds, on the Queen Charlotte Track far from the hustle and bustle of city life. The clear waters of Endeavour Inlet stretch out towards bush covered mountains and often the only sound is the gentle lapping of the waves, and the song of the bellbird.

• Swim before breakfast, relax in the sun, read a book.
• Explore the coastline by kayak and picnic at a secluded cove.
• Walk the splendid Queen Charlotte Track and marvel at the breathtaking views.
• Lie in a hammock as the sun goes down and watch the water birds hunt for their dinner.

Come and stay with us. Our modern “trackwalkers’ lodge” caters for people who enjoy peace and tranquillity and the special things that nature has to offer.

QUEEN CHARLOTTE TRACK
We are situated on the Queen Charlotte Track half way between Ship Cove and Portage Bay. An ideal resting place if you are walking the track. Or alternatively stay at Mahana for a few days and day walk parts of the track.

HOW TO FIND US
You can get to us by walking or cycling the Queen Charlotte Track, by catching a water-taxi from Picton, or by road – about 2 hours from Picton and Blenheim, and 3 hours from Nelson. See map below.

Whether you are just looking for a night’s rest on your walk along the Queen Charlotte Track, or wanting a few days “away from it all”, the warm hospitality of your hosts Ann and John Martin will ensure that your stay is a memorable one.
