The lodge was great. We arrived as it was getting dark and had a wonderful spa whilst watching the stars. The lodge is modem and small and the rooms clean and spacious. I would recommend it. ##### Lisa ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mike and Lois, Ontario Mar 17, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great place with great hosts.

We would certainly visit again. ##### Kevin ### 10/10 Excellent #### Curtis, Hamilton, NZ Mar 5, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Secluded location with a great view. We spent just the one night and didn't really take advantage of all the amenities this motel had to offer. But a can say that the room was nice, our hosts were extremely friendly and the view was exceptional. They advertised a continental breakfast, but our host offered to make us anything we wanted (we had omelettes). ##### Curtis ### 10/10 Excellent #### Great view, Florida Feb 8, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Mountain top view Epervesent host with full information regarding things to see, do and where to eat. A multi athlete with 2 young boys host Candice has a great perspective on the area. Spa pool in private grotto is a great place to soak and watch the stars at the end of the day. We stayed in the separate room above the main house. Private balcony and amazing views of the bay/ocean and the mountains around you. ##### Great view ### 6/10 Okay #### mats Feb 2, 2017 Liked: Room comfort Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### Not 5-star but nice views and good location Owners not present. Delegated responsibility to unexperienced but very willing to help staff. Had issues with checking in..Having +2000 hotel nights this is in my opinion not a 5-star accomodation. That requires more attention to details in all aspects. There is no outdoor pool as stated, just a jaccuzi..... However, quiet, nice views and interesting discussions with other guests. Overpriced. ##### mats ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jan 22, 2017 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Cosy, spectacular views, and great staff, all only a few minutes from Nelson. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mariya & Ross, Canada Dec 30, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Spectacular views! I wasn't sure about the lodge after driving up the narrow road but once arrived the views and the lodge itself made up for the nerve racking drive. It does get easier! Allan and Candace are wonderful hosts and made our stay very comfortable. We enjoyed Christmas morning breakfast with the family and relaxing on their beautiful deck. ##### Mariya & Ross ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Oct 28, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Not a lodge This is a bed and breabfast with great views but not a lot else ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Keivan, Alexandria, VA Mar 13, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Remote, but beautiful, somewhat overpriced The location was scary at first, since it involved driving uphill on dirt road for about 1.5 miles, at very slow speeds. This also made it very inconvenient to get to the town or local attractions. Abel Tasman National Park is a 1.5 hours drive, each way. But my room was superb. Very nicely decorated, clean and spacious. Had heated floors in the bathroom, and a private balcony, but the view left a lot to be desired. The included breakfast was excellent, which included hot prepared made to order eggs and Canadian bacon. I used the hot tub one night, under a clear starry sky. The view from the deck in the mornings was great. Overall a good experiencec, but a bit overpriced due to location and access. ##### Keivan ### 8/10 Good #### Stuart, Melbourne Feb 22, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### One Night stay great view Not sure on our arrival up the hill and down the stairs into the lodge but it was very comfortable great view and a lovley host ##### Stuart ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Feb 4, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful place with stunning view It was a bit of a drive up to the hotel but worth it. This place is primarily a family's residence with three rooms available for lucky guests. Spectacular view from lovely, modern, immaculate room. Very pleasant hosts and staff. Great recommendations for restaurants (Hopwoods, in particular) and for hiking in the nearby national park. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicholas, Leeds, United Kingdom Jan 13, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Simply fabulous We stayed for three nights and The lodge exceeded our expectations the room was a good size and cery clean and tidy as was the bathroom. The view from the lodge is simply stunning and we enjoyed an evening on the decking overlooking the sea with a glass of wine was truly relaxing. Breakfast was good with a nice choice of freshly cooked options as well as fruit yoghurt and cereal. ##### Nicholas ### 10/10 Excellent #### robert Jan 12, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent view Accessed through a winding road like Alice in wonderland this takes you to a breathtaking view of the coast and a magical view of the night sky and the Milky Way. Facilities are very comfortable, heated bathroom floor was such a bonus and staff were attentive. The lodge is approximately 10 minutes to the Nelson town centre and about three hour drive to Abel Tasman ##### robert ### 10/10 Excellent #### Helen, Auckland Oct 13, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The view is wonderful and the service is excellent!
