About

On South Island, Day Lodge occupies 7305 State Highway 1, Ward 7285, New Zealand, a café set on the main highway through the upper South Island.

Day Lodge is known as a café stop on State Highway 1, with a 4.6/5 rating drawn from 117 reviews. Being on the main north-south route means travellers between Christchurch, Blenheim, Nelson and Kaikoura pass nearby, while Queenstown, Dunedin, Wanaka and Te Anau lie further afield. The website, http://www.flaxbournemotels.co.nz/, is the online point of reference for those planning a stop.

First-time visitors should expect a highway-side café where the pace matches the passing traffic, with Ward as the nearest settlement. Seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer from December to February and winter from June to August, so the busiest travel months fall in the southern summer.

Reaching Day Lodge from the main towns is straightforward along State Highway 1, which links the island's east coast centres. Drivers heading between Christchurch and Blenheim will find it on the route, and those coming from Nelson or Kaikoura can join the same highway.
