Located in the heart of Fiordland, Waitai Lodge is one of the most secluded lodges in Aotearoa. Nestled in the middle of native rainforest on the shores of Lake McKerrow, Waitai Lodge offers some of the most stunning views of Fiordland National Park.
Accessible only by helicopter and boat, Waitai Lodge provides the opportunity to reconnect with nature while diconnectting from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Tucked away in the middle of Fiordland National Park, Waitai Lodge includes eight, fully appointed ensuite rooms (king or twin share available).
Located near the Martins Bay Spit, you'll enjoy the evening relaxing with friends as you hear the distant surf crashing on the beach.
The cheeky kea, a large alpine parrot, often provide evening entertainment as they play in the cabbage trees outside the lodge at dusk. On a clear night, you will be blown away by the incredible array of stars which shine brighter due to the remote nature of Martins Bay & the lack of light pollution.
