Marlborough's Lake Timara Lodge - a secluded luxury hide away for gourmet travellers.
"Our return to Timara Lodge was all that we expected and more. We so appreciate the setting, the incredible gardens, the lovely accommodations, the personal attention and of course, Louis’ spectacular cuisine. Thank you so much."
Hidden away in New Zealand's most prestigious wine region, endowed with magnificent beauty, stunning hills and crystal clear Sounds, Lake Timara Lodge offers a haven of peace, tranquillity and relaxation.
The luxury lodge is nestled in 600 acres of pasture, a romantic lake, a beautiful English style park with sweeping lawns, native and exotic trees, a historic arboretum, perfume garden, daffodil lawn, woodland walk and an extensive rose garden featuring more than 350 roses. A true "slice of paradise" where you feel miles 
away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Wine lovers will find our very own winery, the Spy Valley Vineyard only a short stroll away to taste and indulge in award winning wines.
