The on-property host and manager, Valery, made the stay phenomenal; he is also a professional chef and will cook you breakfast and dinner each day using fresh and local ingredients. The property has direct access to a very private beach and offers 2 kayaks and a paddle board for you to use when desired. The views from each room are stunning with the penthouse having the best setup, followed by the jacuzzi room and then cozy room which has a Bowers & Wilkins surround sound setup. You also have access to a Miele coffee maker as well as a Nespresso machine, and a washer and dryer machine whenever you want. Only a 15 minute drive to local towns with good eats, especially Kaiteriteri where we had to meet early in the morning for our Abel Tasman tour. Highly recommended if you get the chance.
This accomodation was absolutely the very best within 4 weeks of travel.
The location, the sourrounding with private beach and splendid internal was exorbitant. We did not expect such a luxural stay!!
..and all above the excellent hosting with breakfast and dinner, prepared by our host Valery could easily meet the standard of 3 star restaurants. Thank you for this excellent accomodation experience!

My husband and I booked three nights at the lodge and didn't want to leave so we booked another two nights and didn't want to leave. The lodge and surroundings are stunning. The lodge is close Kaiteriteri and amenities, but when you are there it so peaceful and tranquil you feel a million miles from the crowds and noise. We walked down the private stairs to the secluded beach and swam. From the cove, if you swim out a bit, you can see New Zealand's famous Split Apple Rock. As to the amenities in the lodge, it exceeded all our expectations. The owners, Alan and Luba, were so gracious and welcoming. The private chef, Valeriy was amazing. The breakfasts were delicious and the optional dinners were beautiful. The whole experience was memorable. I highly recommend the lodge. If you are looking for a luxurious but relaxed place to stay, book this lodge, you will love it.
