👀 PART TWO… THE GUESSES ARE IN!

Well… our little black curtain has certainly got you guessing! 😂

So far we’ve had:

⛺ A glamping site
💦 A water slide down the hill
💃 A dancing pole 😳😂
🛏️ New rooms
🐐 A new animal

Is someone thinking along the right lines… ??👀

We’re not saying, keep watching this space 🤫

Keep the guesses coming — what do YOU think is hiding behind the curtain?

The big reveal is getting closer…

✨ Wairua is looking beautiful! ✨

While not our exciting new item coming to Lochmara…..Our much-loved Wairua has had a freshen-up and she’s looking pretty fabulous, if we do say so ourselves! 💙 thanks Phillip Zwies

With her newly refurbished interior, fresh blue seating and those unbeatable Marlborough Sounds views out the window, she’s all ready for another season of carrying guests across the water to Lochmara. 🚤🌿

Because getting to Lochmara is all part of the experience….all aboard Wairua — your Lochmara adventure starts the moment you leave Picton. 💙

But we think you’re going to love it.

Watch this space — all will be revealed soon!
