Discreetly nestled in a secluded thousand-acre valley halfway between Nelson and Marlborough, the Mudbrick Lodge is an idyllic base from which to explore the attractions of New Zealand's famous Marlborough Sounds and Nelson regions.
Surrounded by towering 90-year old Pine and Macrocarpa trees and overlooking a natural spring fed pond, the Mudbrick Lodge is set in 3 acres of lovingly landscaped garden populated by native bird life and provides boutique-style accommodation with an unrivalled hospitality which will make your stay an unforgettable experience.
Your host Tania searched the whole of New Zealand for a setting that would compliment their combined talents and enable them to create a lifestyle they could share with others. From the moment they set foot in the breathtaking surrounds of the Rai Valley they knew their quest had ended and the Mudbrick Lodge, with its three luxury guest rooms, is the result. Shorty's wealth of hunting, fishing and diving experience and Tania's background as a professional chef with a passion for fine wines mean they are the ideal guides to for your exploration of this, one of New Zealand's most beautiful regions.
Whether you wish to tour the famous Marlborough vineyards, fish for the notoriously cunning trout in one of the local streams, horse ride through stunning scenery, hunt the lodges private 1000 acre block for deer and wild pig, kayak the beautiful Tennyson Inlet accompanied by dolphins, picnic on your own 'desert island' in the Sounds, bush walk to the crystal clear waters of the Emerald Pools, cast a rod into one of Shorty's secret salt water fishing spots or just wish to relax on the patio with a good book and a crisp Chardonnay, Mudbrick lodge is perfectly equipped to make each day a memorable one.
