With mountain views, Milford Sound Lodge is located in Milford Sound and has a restaurant, room service, bar and garden. The lodge features both WiFi and private parking free of charge.

Milford Sound Lodge offers a seating area with a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with free toiletries, a hairdryer and shower. Some units include a balcony and/or a patio with river views. When we arrived at Milford Sound Lodge, we were informed that the road would be closed the following day. Unfortunately we could not stay but the staff member, Gillian, immediately confirmed we could cancel without any penalties. The money was refunded promptly. We were disappointed we couldn’t stay as the lodges looked fab but with the amazing customer service we received, I have no doubt it would have been a wonderful stay.
