Fabulous little place! Extremely clean. Rooms had lovely bathrobe and gorgeous products which you could also purchase. Food was amazing! For me the food was not hot enough. I did send dinner back to be reheated - but it still wasn’t hot. The next day at breakfast - it was the same. There is a 46km drive around the mountain to get to the Lodge - whilst very windy, the views were fabulous.

Featuring a swimming pool, a garden, a terrace and views of the sea, The Bay Lodge is located in Pohara and provides accommodation with free WiFi.

Well....everything was perfect....you can see how much work and dedication they put into creating this beautiful place. Every detail is thought out and gives you the feeling that this place is as unique as its owners. A fantastic couple from Belgium who chose a place near the Tasmanian National Park as their home .) thank you for creating this amazing place

Situated in Marahau, 38 km from Nelson, Abel Tasman Lodge features a hot tub and sauna. Abel Tasman National Park is within a 5-minute walk from the property.

Very comfortable room, super clean, very friendly staff and excellent location. Opposite beach, entrance to National Park, 2 really good places to eat and drink within 10 mins walk. We loved our stay

    Filip and Sonya were fabulous hosts-very hospitable and generous with information and recommendations. The shuttle service to Abel Tasman made a day tramping in the park seamless. We enjoyed the accommodations so much we were lucky enough to be able to extend our stay by one day. Pōhara is an excellent location for visiting the Golden Bay and I can’t recommend the Bay Lodge highly enough.

    The Bay Lodge was absolutely fantastic! It was everything and more. Anything you could possibly need was in the accommodation and the hosts couldn’t have done more for us. They booked any excursions we wanted to do and even baked delicious carrot cake for us to have with drinks whilst we were relaxing by the pool.

    Local to Nelson, took advantage of a great deal, lovely lodge, will be back. Nice touches in the rooms, beautiful decor, and a lovely setting and location in general. Great breakfast, would love to have tried the evening meal.

    Fabulous staff, gorgeous rooms, so calm, quiet and tranquil. We paid a little more for the Luxury Room - very spacious, probably half again the size of the Deluxe. Only 10 rooms, room 10 being the only Luxury room. Ask for a higher room number to be a little more private and away from the (not busy) road. The on-site restaurant was amazing, best duck I’ve ever had, and a perfect breakfast selection. The staff though are the biggest asset of this lodge, so lovely, welcoming and accommodating. It was very hard to leave.

    The rooms and setting were beautiful. The beds were very comfortable. Breakfast was superb and the staff were very welcoming and helpful. With the beach on the doorstep and several food outlets a stone's throw away as well as the Lodge's own excellent restarent/bar, you could not ask for more.
