Amazing place to stay. Very friendly owners. Rooms are very clean and big. Being on the main road it was very quiet. Off street parking and very secure. Definitely recommend staying, don't drive that extra distance.

We loved everything about our stay at Murchison Lodge. We were the only guests staying this particular night so it felt very special to have the beautiful house to ourselves. In the morning Philip cooked us an amazing breakfast, after which we went for a lovely stroll through his property down to the river. Philip was the best host: so friendly and interesting to talk to — and kind. I accidentally left something behind, which Philip generously posted home to us for no charge. incredible! All in all, a standout stay for us. Thank you, Philip!

Ebony

The hosts provided a little extra - cereals, milk, butter and bread. This was a great addition, as it was unexpected. The facilities were clean, there were some games put out in the lounge to encourage interaction within families or with other guests. Heaters were provided to keep the house and/or rooms warm. Location made it easy to access surrounding shops by foot. Very friendly hosts.

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.

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 location is beautiful with many paths to the river for swimming. We liked the facilities (kitchen, showers, laundry). We were able to buy free-range eggs from the reception. The place was very clean during the two nights we spent. The cabin had a mosquito screen on all windows and doors.

The apartment is fine and clean but the furniture is definitely outdated. Therefore the price which is asked for this accommodation is far too high for what you get. I think the main problem is that in Murchison are not that many hotels / motels.
