点评:This is a major waterway with the Marlborough Sounds region of South Island. It is where you find the communities of Havelock and Picton, the arrival point for vessels connection North Island (Wellington) with the South Island. The waters within the Sound are turquoise blue and surrounded by forested hilly shores, making for stunning scenery and outdoor activities.
We recently stayed at the Lochmara Lodge for a couple of nights, taking boat transportation from Picton across the Sound to Lochmara Bay and the Lodge. As part of our stay we make the hike up to the Onahau Lookout Point, which is connected to the famous 73 km long Queen Charlotte Track and enjoyed remarkable elevated views of the Sound at roughly 400 metres above sea level. We also used kayaks provided by the lodge to paddle around in the Sound a bit. This was enjoyable.
Spending time at Lochmara was a nice way to enjoy time around Queen Charlotte Sound. There are other lodges, accommodation and activity options scattered around the Sound as well as back in Picton. All makes for yet another fun place to spend a bit of time in New Zealand.

我们最近在洛克玛拉旅馆住了两晚,从皮克顿乘船横渡峡湾到达洛克玛拉湾的旅馆。入住期间,我们徒步登上了奥纳豪观景台,这里与著名的73公里长的夏洛特女王步道相连,在海拔约400米的高处,我们欣赏到了峡湾的壮丽景色。旅馆还提供了皮划艇,让我们在峡湾里泛舟,非常惬意。
在洛克玛拉旅馆度过的时光,让我们得以尽情享受夏洛特女王峡湾的美景。峡湾周围以及皮克顿镇上还有其他旅馆、住宿和活动可供选择。这一切都让这里成为在新西兰消磨时光的又一个好去处。
