Things to know

Sandflies protect the beautiful places – bring insect repellent to protect yourself against sandflies.

We are 1 – 1 1/4 hours from Queenstown and 26 km from Glenorchy. The last 9 km is dirt road. Alternative crossing by boat is available, please contact us to arrange.

When the beech trees seed, there are many rodents in the area – you will see traps on the hiking tracks – for more info about DOC’s work click here. Kinloch does everything it can to protect against vermin, though we suggest that you don’t leave food unprotected in your car.

Kinloch is 74 kilometres from the nearest point for supplies. All water, waste systems and waste disposal are operated by us locally. We are at the very end of the line for power.

Economic logistics are therefore a challenge and are a large part of the much higher costs associated with operating in a remote location.
