We recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful property, and it exceeded all my expectations. The location is perfect—nestled in a peaceful area yet conveniently close to local attractions, restaurants, and shops. Whether you’re looking to explore or just enjoy some downtime, it’s an ideal spot. The accommodation itself is immaculate. Everything was spotlessly clean, and the attention to detail was evident in every corner. It’s well-equipped with all the amenities you could need, from a fully functional kitchen to cozy furnishings, making it feel like a home away from home. The atmosphere is tranquil, perfect for unwinding after a busy day or for a fully relaxing getaway. What truly made the stay special was the host. Their warm, welcoming nature and attentiveness ensured that everything ran smoothly. They were always available to answer questions or provide recommendations but respected our privacy, striking the perfect balance. I would highly recommend this property to anyone seeking a serene, comfortable, and well-maintained place to stay. It’s clear that every effort has been made to create a space where guests can truly relax and feel cared for.

What a charming cottage, very spacious, comfortable beds and a nice balcony / garden area. Very quiet location with easy access to Nelson and to the highway for Abel Tasman National Park. We really enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

An exceptional lodge that positively delivered way more than the photos and descriptions indicated. Spacious living areas and bedrooms, well equipped, lots of homely personal touches and a most delightful place generally to gather with friends or family. Despite the chilly weather we were very warm and cosy. The fireplace is a feature and something else!
