Our bach is a short boat ride to Lochmara Lodge, a small resort with a waterfront cafe. The lodge is set in 11 acres of land and has a range of activities including an underwater observatory, animal feeding and use of kayaks and paddle boards. There is a walking track from our bay to the Lodge and the Queen Charlotte Walkway can also be accessed via a track from our bay. There is a fish sanctuary in a neighbouring bay and numerous bays close by where you can moor up and picnic. The Sounds provides access to a range of fishing opportunities and also has some historical sites worth a visit including the old Perano Whaling station and Ships Cove which Captain Cook used as a base for all three of his journeys to Aotearoa New Zealand.
