Cabot Lodge

Set high above Lake Manapouri on a family station, the lodge looks across pasture to ranges that hold Doubtful Sound beyond. Inside is warm and uncluttered—wool throws, big windows and quiet spaces to read. Hosts share the region with affection, plotting boat trips, hikes and scenic flights that fit the weather.

Days are unhurried: a farm tour in the morning, a walk under beech forest in the afternoon, maybe fly‑fishing on a clear river. Come evening, a small dining room and a short menu keep things personal and seasonal. It feels like staying with friends who know exactly when to appear and when to vanish.

5 rooms on a 2,000‑acre sheep & deer station
Hosted breakfasts & chef‑prepared dinners
Views over Lake Manapouri; access to Doubtful Sound
Heli‑flights, hiking & fishing arranged
