We began our Lumsden journey in 2008 when we bought the Masonic Lodge in Lumsden. The conversion into our home began in 2010 and we have slowly built on this to create what we like to think as an open plan apartment style with a lodge feel.

You'll see when you stay some of the before photos and we are so proud of feeling like we have created a really comfortable and relaxing space for others to enjoy.

Steve is still busy running Temple Tattoo from the front of the main building miles away from your private retreat. We are always happy to incorporate a tattoo experience for you if you wish.

After selling her businesses in 2024, Kel is committed to her passion in hospitality and is able to create and provide bespoke experiences for you as a Private Chef or to meet any needs you wish around food. She is also your host and main point of contact. Alongside running 'The Lodge' she has been a marriage celebrant for 5 years and is happy to put together a bespoke wedding package for those of you that want a private retreat to sneak away and get married but still have something really special planned. Let's talk!

Nestled in the heart of Southland, our boutique accommodation blends historic charm with modern comfort. Offering a warm welcome, we ensure a memorable stay with thoughtful amenities in a truly stunning setting.

Split into three spaces - this huge 506m2 building is full of history and full of life and we are so happy to welcome to be be a part of The Lodge Lumsden.
