DESTINATION FOR CONNOISSEURS OF FINE DINING & WORLD CLASS WINE
It’s the Marlborough destination for connoisseurs of fine dining and world class wine. And keen gardeners. And romantics. And nature lovers. And city dwellers searching for peace.
Be led by your nose. The scent from the rose garden sits gently on the evening air as you stroll around the Lake Timara Lodge’s charming English-style park. In front of you is a romantic lake, set against a backdrop of indigenous and exotic trees. There’s a historic arboretum and before you is a daffodil lawn and a promising woodland walk. Plus over 600 acres of rolling pasture.
Make Lake Timara Lodge part of your luxury, tailor-made holiday to New Zealand and its 350 varieties of roses will not be the only source of pleasure for your nose. The fragrance of the Lodge’s own Spy Valley wine will tell you about its pedigree, whilst the aromas emanating from the fine dining room speak of gastronomic pleasures to come.

From the first conversation to the final day of our trip, Catherine and the team were helpful, efficient and easy to reach. Their recommendations not only improved our original plans but also made the whole holiday more cost-effective. Even when we needed assistance while away, their response was immediate. We wouldn’t hesitate to travel with them again.
