Lovely small town in a spectacular setting by the Buller River, surrounded by high hills.
Good little supermarket and library.
The Lazy Cow has a pizza restaurant.
Excellent Skyline walk with superb views of the town, river and hills.

Fantastic location, great opportunity to rest, relax and enjoy time with family away from normal hustle and bustle of life. Loved the slower pace and wood burning fire in the evening. Great winter hide-away haven!

What a brilliant place to stay, can't fault it and can't praise it highly enough. The building was beautiful, the room and bed really comfortable and cooking facilities excellent. Phillip and Daphne were really welcoming and helpful and the breakfast early in the morning was superb. I'd highly recommend Murchison Lodge to anyone looking to stay in the area.

Absolutely loved the place.
Absolutely loved the place. The lodge had a great walkway down to the river. Everything was just fabulous from chocolate brownies in the room to friendly people. We played in the Open Murchison golf tournament, which is always well organised and the food yummy. Swimming in the river was a highlight on both days. Great swingbridge, 10km out of town. Fantastic.

Usually we pass through Murchison, but this time we made it a stopover for a night. We loved this place. It is in a very picturesque valley, in a lovely warm microclimate, with kayaking and hiking on the doorstep. The nearby swingbridge and cometline were a must. Great pizza from the Cow Shed! We could easily spend more time exploring the surrounds, with a base of the fabulous Murchison Lodge.

Great staff - it was rainy when I arrived and I was allowed to use the cosy living room & kitchen until my room was ready and also check into the room early.
The accommodation is just across from the Intercity bus stop.
My room was comfy, clean and warm, as was the living room.
There are good walks nearby, especially by the river and the Skyline Walk. Murchison has a supermarket & library and the Lazy Cow also runs a pizza restaurant.
I highly recommend staying here.

Hospitality; rustic homely log cabin feel with fire place; honesty box approach to available alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks; home-made breakfast by the host with an abundance touch; privacy respected and spacious rooms with very comfortable bed; tasteful furnishing with a ‘play station’ of board and card games to occupy on cold wet winter nights. This would always be our preferred stay in Murchison. Can’t wait to be back Philip and Daphne!
