High standard rustic boutique lodge accommodation.
We spent two nights here and had one of the rooms with en suite and a private balcony. Very welcoming right from the start with Timo introducing us to the property. The lodge is set in a peaceful rural environment not far from Richmond and Nelson. The whole property is possessed of an open, light and very comfortable feel with some farm animals around, a babbling brook and a good outlook. Reclaimed materials have been skillfully incorporated into the build and contribute to the character. The bed was comfortable with nice linen, and breakfast downstairs included fresh baked home made bread with jams from the orchard and gardens (lovely fresh pear juice too when we were there). If you want to mix with other guests and swap stories then the shared well-organised kitchen and dining area, or the outside deck and BBQ, are very conducive. Easy also to find your own space if you prefer. We enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to come again.

Hands down one of the warmest environments we’ve stayed in. Beautifully designed lodge inside and out, magical property to wander around including being able to interact with farm animals and most of all wonderful informative hosts. Wish we had more time. Couldn’t recommend this place enough!

Eco friendly quiet retreat
pleasantly surprised by the communal kitchen living area experience. We met some lovely people and it added to the experience. The accommodation was very spacious and extremely clean with a very high standard of fixtures and fantastic views. The provided breakfast was a very relaxing experience. Timo the host was great, very helpful and available but not intrusive. We didn't use the provided pushbikes but on a longer trip would. It was far enough out of the centre of town to be very quiet and peaceful but close enough to all the action

Tolle Lodge, modernes Design & Wohlfühlatmosphäre
Die Pear Orchard Lodge war definitiv die schönste Unterkunft unseres Neuseelandaufenthalts. Wir haben 5 Nächte in einem Doppelzimmer mit Balkon und Gemeinschaftsbad verbracht. Das gesamte Haus ist sehr sauber, wunderschön und modern eingerichtet und die große Gemeinschaftsküche ist hervorragend ausgestattet. Wir haben uns die zwei Gemeinschaftsbäder (eins mit Dusche, WC und Badewanne, das andere nur mit Dusche und WC) und eine weitere Toilette trotz Hochsaison nur mit einer Hand voll anderer Gäste geteilt, das war sehr angenehm. Die große Küche ist zur Veranda hin offen, wo man entspannt den Tag ausklingen und den Sonnenuntergang genießen kann. Außerdem gibt es Hängematten, einen Kickertisch und Fahrräder, die man sich kostenlos ausleihen kann. Besonders wohlgefühlt haben wir uns dank Timo, dem Besitzer der Lodge. Er war sehr hilfsbereit, hat uns viele Tipps für Ausflüge gegeben und sorgt für eine entspannte und angenehme Atmosphäre. Sagt man am Abend Bescheid, bekommt man am nächsten Morgen ein leckeres, frisch gebackenes Brot von Timo - besonders lecker zu den hofeigenen Freilandeiern und natürlich dem Birnensaft. Die Lodge ist genau das Richtige, für alle, die nach etwas Ruhe suchen und dennoch zentral für Ausflüge in der Nelson-Region, zum Abel Tasman Nationalpark oder zu den Marlborough Sounds wohnen wollen und wir hoffen, dort irgendwann nochmal übernachten zu können. Danke Timo!
