More Information and Bookings

Garry and Barbara invite you to join them at their new lodge the "No Road Inn". Five hours walk from Ship Cove,the No Road Inn is the perfect place for you to retreat and relax, offering quality accommodation, beautiful scenery, a superb wine list, and mouthwatering cusine.
This waterfront lodge lies on the only privately owned land in Queen Charlotte Sound, where the virgin native forest extends right to the sea.
Nestled under Mount Furneaux next to Furneaux Wharf at the head of Endeavour Inlet in the outer Marlborough Sounds of New Zealand, five hours walk from Ship Cove, or a 1 hour 30 minute water taxi from Picton, the No Road Inn is your first stopover on the famed Queen Charlotte Track.
Relax in the private hot tub, a century old timber wine barrel made from native Totara. Large enough for 8, the tub is set over one of our forest streams, and is drained and refilled with fresh spring water daily, a chemical free experience under a canopy of native trees. Not to be missed.
The lodge offers:
- Quality bed and breakfast accommodation on the Queen Charlotte Track.
- Spacious guest suites.
- Ensuites with baths and walk in showers.
- Fantastic bird life
- 2000 year old Rimu and Kahikatea trees
- Guest lounge/games room/theatre
- Mouthwatering evening meals
- BBQ, hangi pit, outdoor oven
- Kayaks and dinghies
- Guest moorings
- Spring water hot tub
- Picnic hampers for lunches in the private forest
Room Facilities
The No Road Inn has four guest suites all with ensuites. Three suites have baths and walk in showers and the fourth has a double shower. All suites have sea and bush views and 3 of the ensuites have one-way glass so you can soak in the bathtub with a local chardonay whilst enjoying the bush and sea views.
All rooms have names synonymous with the rich history of the Marlborough Sounds.
Queen Charlotte Suite:
Located upstairs on the east side of the lodge, the Queen Charlotte is a beautiful spacious room with the forest in touching distance. There are great bush and sea views, and a large deck accessible through bifold doors. Enjoy the bush views from the ensuite, while soaking in an 100 year old, deep clawfoot bath.
The Queen Charlotte Suite has been named after the sound where Captain Cook often visited to provision his ships.
Howden Suite:
Also upstairs, the Howden Suite overlooks the sea and has great bush views. A large round porthole window in the ensuite opens up the hot bath to views of the boats plying their trade at the wharf below.
The Howden Suite has been named after Patrick Howden who gifted the 1000 acres of virgin native forest known as Howdens Bush to New Zealand, and whose ancestors preserved this magnificent forest which surrounds the No Road Inn to this day.
Resolution Suite:
The HMS Resolution was Captain Cook's ship on his second voyage to New Zealand.
This suite is on the ground floor with sea and bush views, and sheltered from the prevailing wind. Watch the native birds from while keeping an eye on your surfcaster at the beach. Some very large snapper and blue cod have been caught from the front of this room. The resident Kingfishers who regularly fish from the trees will keep you company, they usually catch as many fish as we do, and they don’t use bait!
Adventure Suite:
A stones throw to the sea and close to the wharf, the Adventure suite is well suited to the early risers who intend to fish an early tide or walk at sun up in the native forest at the rear of the property. Adventure has no bath but a double walk in shower.
The HMS Adventure, commanded by Captain Tobias Furneaux, accompanied Cook's ship HMS Resolution on his second expedition to the Marlborough Sounds.
