Lake Roxburgh Lodge is a lodge with studio rooms and suites at 20A Tamblyn Drive in Roxburgh, Central Otago. It sits a minute's drive from the Lake Roxburgh Village turn-off on State Highway 8, and the website describes it as a base for the Roxburgh Gorge and Clutha Gold cycle trails. Breakfast and dinner are served in the restaurant, with Central Otago wines and locally crafted beers. The garden setting and a peaceful outlook are part of the stay, and guests say the rooms are clean, comfortable and well equipped.
The lodge was built in 1955 for the tradesmen working on the Roxburgh Dam, and the website notes the dam's 320 megawatts of generation, with the floodgates open being the best time to see it. The lodge's hosts have run it since 2019. Our pick in Roxburgh for a cycle-trail base beside the lake.
