    The lodge building itself felt a bit run down and not what we were expecting for a luxury lodge. The sink in our room looked like it had seen better days.

    The room was really nice and had a separate lounge area to relax in when the weather wasn't great. They had a great selection of food and drinks options available. The lodge by far had the best food on the track. The staff were all really friendly.

    There could be more options for vegetarians on the dinner menu.

    Beautiful setting with lovely rooms well spaced over the complex. Our accomodation was nestled in the bush. The staff were welcoming and friendly. The facilities were excellent. The toiletries were very high quality. Having kayaks included was excellent. The meal at the restaurant was top class for three of our four diners. Our gluten free companion was well catered for.

    Wifi wasn't great in the cabin but we weren't there to be on our phones. The scenery is stunning.

    A perfect haven at the end of day 1 on the Queen Charlotte Track. A cold cider at the bar followed but a dip in the sound and soak in the hot tub before an amazing dinner. Couldn't ask for anything more. Highly recommend.

    We stayed in one of the Endeavour suites which had superb views and was well appointed. The staff were friendly and attentive. The food was delicious too.

    The hot tub was not working as well as it could have been.

    The staff were so welcoming and friendly. Pip in the office, particularly, was lovely and helpful with our booking and welcoming us to Furneaux. We were walking the Queen Charlotte Track and appreciated arriving to such a beautiful and luxurious retreat. We stayed in the Endeavour Suites which were beautifully and comfortably appointed - great beds, lovely toiletries and facilities , private with a beautiful outlook. It lived up to all our expectations.

    My only slight niggle was that the transport to the island it transpired was run by the same company/organisation who ran the hotel - at least the same payment details appeared on the bill. Despite this there was no integrated facility to book transport at the time of booking. We hadn't realised how far the journey was and assumed it was more of a water taxi type service so left the booking until very late which could have ended in disaster - a room and no way to get there. Obviously partly our own fault but we were doing an extensive tour of NZ and had many things to organise.

    The hotel was fantastic located on the lovely Endeavour inlet. The view from the room amazing and the room itself very comfortable with a very good bathroom. We didn't have breakfast because were leaving early I so can't comment on that but the evening meal was good and food and drinks were no pricier than the mainland which was nice given that they do have a captive market somewhat. I would recommend.

    Beautiful location and grounds but not as good as expected

    I had very high expectations based on reviews and pictures and thought that this would be my favourite and the most luxurious property on the sounds. But it was more rustic than expected. It felt more like a campground than an hotel. The bar and games area were very untidy, needed a hoover. The cleanliness of our room was not good, with a spillage on the kitchen units not wiped down and a child's dummy left on the floor in our bedroom! Evidently a rush job. It was also disappointing to only have an expensive buffet option for the evening meal, with long queues. The food was OK, not special, but popular items kept running out with more waiting in line for replenishment. Some of these issues above are probably specific to it being very busy for the New Years Eve. But as a result I preferred Punga Cove.

    Beautiful grounds and location. Great provision of games to play on the large flat lawns. We had the cottage furthest away from the main building so it was quiet and our sleep was not disturbed despite the New Years entertainment and celebrations in the bar. Staff were friendly and helpful. Enjoyed the a la carte breakfast. Plenty of outdoor seating for drinks and meals. Enjoyed the hot tub too.
