What a brilliant place to stay, can't fault it and can't praise it highly enough. The building was beautiful, the room and bed really comfortable and cooking facilities excellent. Phillip and Daphne were really welcoming and helpful and the breakfast early in the morning was superb. I'd highly recommend Murchison Lodge to anyone looking to stay in the area.

Absolutely loved the place.
Absolutely loved the place. The lodge had a great walkway down to the river. Everything was just fabulous from chocolate brownies in the room to friendly people. We played in the Open Murchison golf tournament, which is always well organised and the food yummy. Swimming in the river was a highlight on both days. Great swingbridge, 10km out of town. Fantastic.

Usually we pass through Murchison, but this time we made it a stopover for a night. We loved this place. It is in a very picturesque valley, in a lovely warm microclimate, with kayaking and hiking on the doorstep. The nearby swingbridge and cometline were a must. Great pizza from the Cow Shed! We could easily spend more time exploring the surrounds, with a base of the fabulous Murchison Lodge.

Murchison is a small town.
Murchison is a small town. We had dinner at the local pub which was not cheap but the serving sizes are extra large so good value.
People are welcoming and the place had a safe feel to it.
Place relies on the tourist trade so very quiet when we were there.
We walked from our accommodation to "town", all flat. Very little traffic.

It was a beautiful Autumn road trip to Murchison, the back road down from the Nelson area was outstanding following the river and the vines turning colours. Then up to Blenheim through the pass and the vineyards with all of their colours..... Beautuful
Easy, central location to many places and what a fabulous backyard with the Southern Alps right there.
There's a very good cafe across the road.

An interesting little "out back town".
An interesting little "out back town". The pub meal was good and the place humming with the activity of locals an probably visitors.
One interesting spot was the "antique store". More like a museum of well used stuff.
The river very near could be good for fishing but I did not try it out.
Phil runs a beautiful, quaint, idyllic, and homey B&B! After a long backpacking along the Abel Tasman Coast, this was such a treat! We loved how Phil welcomed us from the moment we pulled in to the lodge. This lodge is a hidden gem - amazing night of sleep surrounded by trees and awaking to rooster and birdsongs the next morning. Breakfast was personally made and served by Phil, who hosted us. A quick walk to the gazebo with the river view is worthwhile. We would love to visit again!
Philip and Daphne were fantastically friendly and helpful hosts. The lodge is spacious and super clean with great off-street parking for our classic car. It provides a tranquil environment yet just off the main road so is easy to find and easy to get into town. There was only one other couple staying and it was excellent to be able to chat to them. The complimentary cookies for guests was a nice touch and with a full shared kitchen, you were lacking for nothing.
Clean, modern and well-designed motel unit set back off the street. It was very comfortable, had good WiFi , and a nice kitchenette. We didn’t see the staff but received an email with instructions on how to access the unit. Murchison is a small town and the motel is central. There is a hotel with a restaurant nearby to get an evening meal.
Adult family of 5… stayed for one night. Brand new facility with comfy beds and linens. Small kitchenette with all the essentials. Perfect location for exploring murchison and the surrounding area . Ate at the cowshed for dinner and it was delicious and adorable as well as having vegetarian options. Market nearby if you choose to eat in.
Very cozy lodge with full access to kitchen, porch & living room area (with wood burning stove). Property includes great view of Buller River.
Phillip the host was very helpful, personable & made our stay the best it could be. Breakfast was incredible — all freshly made. We loved staying here & hope to return. Beautiful scenery.
the hotel is in the center of town so it was a very convenient location. The staff are exceptionally helpful. it was a wet day so they lit the stove so we could be warm and dry our clothes. The bathrooms are shared but were very clean. There is an excellent pizza place located on the premises.
the owner/manager was very welcoming and helpful. when I had a problem missing my coach to Westport, she gave me some practical suggestions of another overnight stay. but thankfully I didn’t need it as I was given a life by 2 customers at the Rivers Cafe arranged by the Murchison I-Site team
A great welcome and fabulous stay. An added bonus was feeding the horses and deer and spending time with the friendly emu. Clawes the cat happily came and visited to make sure everything was ok. New owners that made sure we were welcome and comfortable. Love Murchison.
Philip and Daphne have created a knockout lodge with plenty of old time design details but top notch amenities. We extended to stay longer at this immaculate landscaped lodge. And the hearty breakfasts were fantastic! Kudos to a family that loves their jobs!
The lights and heater were on to greet us on a cold dismal day. This motel was definitely superior five star accommodation something other motels could aspire to. The best motel we have ever stayed in. Would definitely recommend.
It was exceptionally clean and comfortable with a great shower. It was about 50 metres from the hotel where we had great meal. It was very quiet in lovely gardens and the bed was really comfortable.
Clean, well maintained, perfectly located, with everything needed for your stay. we hired bikes too, which were also very well maintained. Excellent advice on where to cycle. highly recommended.
Great place to stop over between Christchurch and Nelson. Comfortable, spacious suite with everything we needed. This would be our choice to stay in Murchison again.
