Turner Lodge
About
In South Island, Turner Lodge is a guest house at 68 Cora Lynn Road, Arthur's Pass 7580, New Zealand. The lodge takes its name from the settlement that surrounds it, and its setting places guests in the heart of Arthur's Pass rather than in one of the island's larger centres.
Guests have scored Turner Lodge 4.7 out of 5 across 81 reviews, a figure that reflects how the guest house is received by those who stay. First-time visitors can expect a small guest house rather than a large hotel, with the surrounding village providing the immediate context for a stay. Queenstown, Christchurch, Dunedin, Nelson, Blenheim, Wanaka, Te Anau and Kaikoura all lie within the island's wider touring network, so the lodge works as a base for travellers moving between regions.

Rugby union is followed closely nationwide, and the national team plays in black, a detail that colours the sporting calendar for anyone visiting during a match window.
Seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer from December to February and winter from June to August, so visitors should plan around the reversed calendar. New Zealand has a temperate maritime climate, so summers are mild and winters rarely bring snow at low altitude. Tūī, kererū and other native birds are common, and dolphins, fur seals and seabirds are seen around the coast.
