Get Away from it All
My stay was exceptional at Eden Edge’s Lodge. The breakfast is much appreciated since most places in New Zealand do not offer breakfast as part of your stay.

The communal facilities were fantastic. The kitchen had everything you needed to cook with. The owners were so friendly and helpful. We lost our key when we went out for dinner and we had to disturb them around 10 pm. They did not fuss about it and just requested we have a good look for the keys. I would absolutely recommend this place if you want beautiful surroundings in a communal type environment. And this place is very close to the Abel Tasman boat shuttles (10 min by car).

Great pastries and fresh eggs and gorgeous property! Lovely community living space and kitchen. Decided to stay for 2 extra nights because we had such a warm welcome. Love the private bathroom which is why we normally would hesitate with shared living spaces, but the hosts have been great.

We liked our stay. Friendly owner operators great continental breakfast. Everything was great . Except cold showers . I asked was told people are using too much of the hot water. Tried 2 hours later still cold. I would suggest switching to a water on demand system this would solve the issue . Overall nice place.

The owner was very welcoming and his pre-stay information blurb was to-the-point without being overly informative. Rooms were well set out and the communal kitchen was well equipped and well-stocked for breakfast with plunger coffee and locally grown fruit, jams, eggs and baked goods. Unfortunately, I had to leave before I could partake!

Room was of a good size with huge comfortable bed. Large bathroom with powerful shower. Lots of birds around. TV room and arcade game station available. Staff are really helpful.

We stayed one night while cycling The Great Taste Trail. Everything was superb from the warm welcome to check out: real coffee and A2 milk; fruit from the onsite orchard; breakfast eggs from the chickens; local bread and baked goods; home-made jams; lovely en-suite King room with Forest & Bird toiletries - the list goes on and on! Barbara and Eric are exemplary hosts, combining warmth with knowing how to allow space and privacy. We are locals who do not usually stay so close to home but we hope to shout ourselves another visit for R&R soon.
