Great place to de-stress. Amenities top class, walk up the 'steep bit' hill is quite steep for those visiting from Australia! View from top of hill spectacular. Hosts friendly, massage divine, food delicious and great portions. Cocktails very easy to drink in the lounge. 

Great start to our holiday.

Fabulous accommodation in the most idyllic setting right on the water. Our large family of just over 30 all loved it, there is so much to do. Raetihi Lodge is set up for relaxation but there are also so many options to entertain you, games room, library with pool table, and even a large grassed soccer net. The jetty for our boat was an added bonus. Some of the best hospitality we have experienced, Liane and Allan are wonderful hosts. Treat yourself, you will not be disappointed.

The most relaxing break away

We recently attended a birthday celebration here and were able to do a lot or a little depending on our ability. It is an absolute haven and you can take a walk into the bush, ride a bike, go golfing or quietly read a book. Beds were wonderful and the rooms a great size with a private balcony. No request seemed too much trouble for the staff. Of course we ate too much as the food was to die for! Now working out when we can go back.

A wonderul place to relax and have fun

Coming from a travel background I have extremely high expectations and Raetihi lodge blew them away!  

There is so much to do or not to do if that's your preference .....have a massage, kayak to the shipwreck, play a round of golf, grab a mountain bike, swim, paddle board, go for a walk, read a book in the library, or just chill with a glass of wine or cocktail waiting in anticipation for your next gourmet meal!

The room and lodge itself had everything you could need. There was a sea view deck outside your room which was very private. Beds are big and comfortable. You have use of other rooms to lounge about in, plenty of room for an extended family or even a corporate group.   

Probably the best parts though is the food and just how accommodating and friendly everyone is. Nothing was too much trouble for the team. 

We had an amazing seven course degustation dinner for New Year’s Eve and they went out of their way to make it a special night with games and fireworks.

Liane, Alan, Franck, Elodie and the Raetihi family, thanks for giving us such a memorable holiday, we will be back for sure!!

A hidden gem in the Sounds.....11 out of 10!!

There is only one issue with Raetihi lodge and that’s the fact at somepoint you have to leave! We were blown away by this place, it might be a cliche but these are memories that will literally last a lifetime.  

The location and surroundings are stunning like a postcard! with lots of walks you can do close by.  The lodge gives you use of bikes and kayaks and you can even take a very short walk to see glow worms. 

The room and lodge itself had everything you could need.  There was a sea view deck outside your room which was very private.  Beds are big and comfortable and the nights are very cool.  You have use of other rooms to lounge about in which has a pool table in and a TV. 

Don’t forget to look up at night, some of the best starts I’ve seen have been here.  Second must is to have a massage (Julie has become world famous) highly recommend!

Probably the best parts though Is the food and just how accommodating and friendly everyone here is.  It’s little things like being called by your first name and people taking the time to ask about you and how your day was.   These people really made it and you felt like you were part of the family, nothing was to much trouble.  The food was amazing, my parter had some gluten free food which they went above and beyond for.   With breakfast, lunch and dinner cooked by an amazing chef you definitely will not go hungry! 

We had an amazing dinner for New Year’s Eve when we stayed during this time, they again really went out of their way to make it a special night.   

Liane, Alan and the Raetihi family thank you so much! 

Dan and Cara,

This is paradise! 😊

Where to start… such an amazing experience! We came for 2 nights and ended staying 4. Liane and Elodie went the extra mile to find us a room and allow us to stay longer.
Liane and Alan, the owners, made us feel like home.
The lodge is situated in a beautiful bay with great swimming, kayaking, walking and biking right on your doorstep. You’ll never get bored! 
Their small team are superb and super friendly. Franck and Elodie, the managers, are fantastic! Elodie makes the MOST AMAZING breads, and Franck creates beautiful menus and gives you good tips on local wines to pair with the food. Eve’s boysenberry cake on our last night was 11/10! 
We had a great New Years Eve enjoying a 7-courses degustation menu, drinks and fireworks .
Can’t recommend it enough! Will definitely come back :)

11 out of 10!

Liane and Alan and their small team are amazing and know what service is all about. Understanding the brief and working with us to make a truly memorable experience was so appreciated. 
Raetahi has always been a favourite destination in the Marlborough Sounds for me but the present team lifts this to such a quality Lodge experience while still feeling that you are part of the place. 
The food was exquisite and the bar can turn out good coffee to exceptional cocktails. Interesting and reasonable wines to enjoy. 
A massage with Juli is an essential part of enjoying heaven on earth. 
Apologies for the early morning splashes!

Superb

Wow-totally wow! From Alan meeting us in Havelock to the moment we left Raetihi we could not have been more spoilt and haven’t been in any other resort we have visited. Franck and Elodie are so proud of the food they create and have every reason  to be!  Raetihi Lodge is a place that you can be as busy as you want to or as laid back as you like. We both left feeling very relaxed and will absolutely recommend to everyone. If you want an amazing treat this is the place to go. Alan and Liane what a Gem you have!

Highly recommend

We've just had a group of 18 adults and 3 kids enjoy a wonderful relaxing weekend with Leanne, Allan and their team.  Just a beautiful spot, run by beautiful people who felt there was nothing too much or too little to help us enjoy our time there. Excellent food, service, and a great range of activities to wile away the time with family and friends, surrounded by the iconic beauty of the Marlborough sounds. We'll be back.

A very special place

 We have just had the most incredible stay here, the level of care was perfect, nothing too much trouble for the excellent staff. Quiet, great views from the room, mountain bikes, kayaks etc available and amazing food, catering for dietary requirements with ease. So welcoming, very relaxing. Would love to come back another time with friends and family.
