Lake Brunner Eco Lodge

Lake Brunner Eco Lodge sits in native bush on the Kumara Inchbonnie Road at Inchbonnie, about 45 minutes inland from Greymouth and a short way from Lake Brunner itself. It is a hosted wilderness lodge run by Brenda Lynch, built around a small number of guests at a time rather than a busy hotel schedule. The lodge takes exclusive-use bookings for private groups, and micro-weddings and intimate gatherings are part of what they host. Because the whole property is yours, the day flows between the fireside lounge, the dining room and the deck without sharing the space with anyone else. It suits couples after a quiet, personal celebration in the bush rather than a big function. Meals are handled for you, with freshly prepared dinners and breakfasts included, and the setting comes with glow worms, stargazing, kayaks and forest trails on the doorstep. Accommodation runs across three lake view suites, four forest view suites and a two-bedroom cottage.
