Murchison Lodge

$$ | 15 Grey St., Murchison, 7007, New Zealand Fodor's Choice

Tucked on a quiet side street, these comfortably countrified guest rooms, with strong colors and lots of wood in a beautiful old villa, are within easy walking distance of the mighty Buller River. The rooms are spacious with luxurious touches, including free Wi-Fi. Hosts Daphne and Philip hail from Europe and understand hospitality. They love engaging with their guests (without intruding) and will recommend local attractions and good places to eat.

Pros

  • Private access to the Buller River through a grassy field
  • Welcoming hosts
  • Incredible breakfast included

Cons

  • A few stairs to climb
  • Lounge (albeit beautiful) is shared with other guests
  • Bathrooms on the small side
