Mike and I did one leg of the Queen Charlotte walking track from Anakiwa to Lochmara. Great weather, spectacular views, but boy were we knackered when we got there. The spa pool was very welcome. The food in the restaurant was superb and there was heaps of wildlife to meet around the lodge - dogs, birds, llamas (beware the black llama), pigs, and the pet shag who tried to join in on our game of fetch with the lodge dog.
