Fodor's Expert Review Murchison Lodge
15 Grey St., Murchison, Tasman, 7007, New Zealand Fodor's Choice
Tucked on a quiet side street, these comfortably countrified guest rooms, with strong colors and lots of wood in a beautiful old villa, are within easy walking distance of the mighty Buller River. The rooms are spacious with luxurious touches, including free Wi-Fi. Hosts Daphne and Philip hail from Europe and understand hospitality. They love engaging with their guests (without intruding) and will recommend local attractions and good places to eat.
PROS
- private access to the Buller River through a grassy field
- welcoming hosts
- incredible breakfast included
CONS
- a few stairs to climb
- lounge (albeit beautiful) is shared with other guests
- bathrooms on the small side
