Marlborough Sounds Lodges & Restaurants
Punga Cove Resort
Where the Sea Meets Hospitality
The Marlborough Sounds offers the ultimate summer escape. Not only does it boast endless bays and inlets, but it’s also home to breathtaking waterfront lodges and restaurants where you can relax, dine, and soak up the views. Many provide moorings and tender services for visiting boaties, and some even host special Christmas Day lunches or unforgettable New Year’s Eve parties!
Historic Furneaux Lodge
A long-standing local favourite is the historic Furneaux Lodge, where you can dine on the sweeping lawns overlooking Endeavour inlet. They also offer accommodation ranging from contemporary suites to family-friendly cottages, all nestled around the original homestead built circa 1903.
The Bay of Many Coves Resort (pictured below), located in Miritu Bay is a luxury eco-lodge offering premium accommodation and two dining experiences: the casual Kumatage Lounge and the elegant Foredeck Restaurant. Both welcome casual guests and serve seasonal local produce with regional wines, beers, and spirits. From three-course lunches to five-course degustation dinners, there’s something for every occasion. 
Venture around to Wilson Bay in Pelorus Sound and you’ll discover Te Rawa Lodge, whose waterfront restaurant welcomes both guests and day visitors. The menu features something for everyone including battered NZ Blue Cod. Sit and relax in a beautiful natural setting with a view you will never get tired of. They also offer barista coffee, bait, 91 petrol and even ice-creams for those hot summer days.
