“In staying at the lodge you become part of our story of bringing the place back to life and making the most of its iconic position on Lake Te Anau and the Milford road.”

Welcome to Fiordland National Park Lodge, Lone Moose Backpackers and the Log Cabin!

We hope that you have an enjoyable stay with us and a wonderful adventure in this truly spectacular part of New Zealand.

Ryan, Helen, Doug and Bernadette purchased the Fiordland National Park Lodge in April of 2017.  At the time we were looking for a project that we could really get involved in, in an area both couples love, and spend a lot of time in.   Between us we have 5 children aged 8 months to 8 years and we really wanted them to enjoy this special part of New Zealand too, doing all the things we love: tramping, hunting, camping, fishing and exploring.

The lodge came on the market and we bought it with the idea of upgrading and developing it and bringing it to its full potential as an accommodation and café destination.

It’s been a labour of love and we are thrilled with what we have achieved so far. 

In staying at the lodge you become part of our story of bringing the place back to life and making the most of its iconic position on Lake Te Anau on the Milford road.

We hope that you enjoy your stay and the surrounding areas.

Relax, Enjoy. Stay a while

Ryan, Helen, Doug and Bernadette
