Charlies Motor Lodge

Perched at the northern entrance to Balclutha, Charlie’s Motor Lodge is the first motel you’ll see as you descend the hill and cross the iconic Clutha River into town. It’s the perfect place to pause, reset and begin your next adventure.

Just minutes from the Cross recreation Centre, golf course, bowling club, and gym, the motel offers a convenient and comfortable base in the heart of the district. As the last major town before you head into The Catlins and along the Southern Scenic Route, Balclutha provides easy access to banks, supermarkets, medical services and everything you might need before exploring further.

Whether you’re discovering The Catlins, venturing north to Dunedin or travelling inland to Central Otago, Charlie’s Motor Lodge is well positioned for exploring the wider region.
