Nurture yourself with freshly prepared dishes crafted using premium New Zealand produce, from lamb and salmon to summer vegetables and herbs from the lodge’s own garden. Whether you choose to embrace nature and revel in the stillness or immerse yourself in the South Island’s adrenaline-fuelled adventure scene, you’ll have the perfect base to return to at Quickenberry Lodge.
