Beautiful location for a couple of nights. Loved the animals. Only thing that let it down was the restaurant. The food sounded delicious on the menu but that’s where it stopped. Food was expensive and lacked any sort of flavour.

The property was a slice of heaven on earth. But for foodies like me I would request either of 2 options - expand the menu or provide microwave/bbq facilities.

Couples timeout
Nice place...friendly staff...would recommend for an overnight stay but wouldnt recommend longer...focus is more on day trippers from Picton not on those paying top dollar to stay in the accommodation. The water taxi is charged on top of accommodation which should be included if you are staying I feel, as there is no road to drive there... Room service doesnt get done till very late in the day and we had to chase up towels, toilet paper etc. Maybe not enough staff but maybe 2 seperate staff groups would work better...one for day trippers one focused on accommodation. Overal a relaxing stay in a comfortable room.

Really enjoyed our stay here, staff were friendly and helpful, room had everything that we needed with added bonus of a sea view. Lochmara has many activities to do we especially enjoyed kayaking as we got to see seals. The restaurant had good food and great service. We were walking the QCT and would recommend staying here as we felt it was well worth the detour.
