There was nothing we didn't like.

WOW. Cabot lodge was superb in every way. Bridie and Brad were perfect hosts, Rob the Chef cooked amazing 5 star food, all the remaining staff top line. The views at the property were amazing. Our room was excellent, large and the open fire a real treat. We will definitely be back for longer next time, 2 days of being spoilt was not long enough. Thanks Bridie and Brad. Regards Bob and Angela

Nothing - it truly is excellent!

Cabot Lodge was extraordinary - Birdie and Brad are born hosts and make their guests feel immediately at home. The quality, luxury and attention to detail in the accommodation and meals are exceptional. This place is not to be missed if you are lucky enough to be going when they have availability. Make sure you take full advantage of your time there, using the facilities, enjoying the stunning views and walking the property. A exceptional retreat!

This was really a close to perfect stay. One very minor issue was that a curtain across the glass door into our room would have been good, as at night the glass let in a lot of bright light from the external security lighting.

A luxury stay experience at the edge of the breathtakingly beautiful New Zealand Fiordland. The Lodge sits in a stunning rural setting, with sweeping views across beautiful Lake Manapouri to the snow-capped peaks beyond. Our hosts Breidi and Brad made us feel very welcome and at home. Gourmet dinner and breakfast included in the stay were outstanding, and upon request our hosts arranged a delicious picnic for us to take on our day cruise to Doubtful Sound. Our room was spacious and comfortable, and many thoughtful details enhanced our stay. Highlights for us included an afternoon relaxing in the Library in front of a crackling fire, and chatting to other Lodge guests in the lounge over pre-dinner drinks and canapes.

We kept looking for a flaw. Literally couldn't find one. The attention to detail and service and our every need were exceptional.

We were excited about staying here but blown away by the reality. Brad and Breidi are just exceptional hosts - people who love people and love their life running Cabot Lodge, and it shows. There are stunning views from every room and all the around the property, which is a garden show all on its' own. There is everything you could ask for in a room, details I hadn't realized I'd missed until we found them here. There were fresh flowers, fruit and cookies every day, and a selection of local wines and beers in the room. Every time we arrived back at the property Brad came out to greet us and ask if there was anything we needed. Honestly, anything guests need or want has been thought about in advance, but they personalize everyone's experience anyway. We got detailed personalized advice for every day's adventures, with an additional notecard the day we left giving recommendations for our stopover in Queenstown. I had a major Amazon delivery problem with a book I'd ordered as a gift for my husband and Breidie jumped on it and had it solved in no time - then surprised me by gift wrapping the book and leaving it in our room. Lovely (and fabulous) canopies and drinks at 6, unbelievably great dinner at 7 from a Chef we thought they must have brought in from a big city. Brad's breakfasts were fabulous. Can't say enough. We already miss it --

Excellent farm stay for mind and body relaxation. It was secluded, away from any city pollution. Excellent hosts (Breidi and Bred), with amazing staff (special shout-out to Chef Diego for his culinary skills). Great view of lake Minaoupri.

Absolutely nothing, except we wish we had booked a longer stay!

Cabot Lodge was the best place we stayed during our vacation. It's a peaceful and relaxing retreat surrounded by gorgeous views of neighboring farms. We really loved walking the grounds and getting to know the farm sheep and mini horses. + The dinner was such a treat-- beautifully prepared and so tasty. I can't wait to return during my next visit.

Our stay at Cabot Lodge was one of the highlights of our trip to NZ. It is a magical, idyllic location and our hosts Brad and Breidi and their team welcomed us with kindness and thoughtfulness in their attention to detail. We would definitely go back and stay longer next time we are in NZ! We HIGHLY recommend this most amazing experience at Cabot Lodge!
