The Bay Lodge

Werkelijk alles klopt hier! De locatie, het uitzicht, de service van de gastheer en gastvrouw! Kleinschalig en persoonlijk, een dikke 10!

The view, stunning gardens, beautifully appointed decor and bedding. The hosts are so welcoming, thoughtful and caring. Would give it six stars if we could!! Extraordinary.

Die Unterkunft ist einfach ein Traum und noch schöner als auf den Bildern. Was es jedoch unvergessen macht ist die Aussicht. Wir konnten uns einfach nicht satt sehen. Selbst bei Regenwetter. Die beiden Gastgeber Sonja und Filip sind ebenfalls grandios und haben stets ein freundliches Wort und vor allem hilfreiche Tipps parat. Hervorzuheben ist ausserdem die wundervolle Gartenanlage mit Pool (beheizt) und Whirlpool. Jeder Winkel ist mit Liebe zum Detail gestaltet. Es hat uns große Freude bereitet jeden Winkel zu erkunden oder einfach nur dazu zu sitzen und die Vögel zu beobachten. Wir können es nur jedem ans Herz legen hier mehrere Tage zu bleiben (bei uns waren es 4 Nächte), ansonsten wird man es vor Ort bereuen nicht länger bleiben zu können.

Sonja and Filip are great hosts, very passionate and they gave us the best tipps. The Lodge is perfectly furnished and decorated with love and every detail is amazing, from the little chocolates and cookies to a port wine tasting! Floor heating in the bathroom, fluffy bathrobes, what could you need more?! The location is great too, lots of things to see and do within short distances. The beach is just down the road. Thank you for this lovely stay! Next time, we'll stay longer.

Absolutely nothing.

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

Magical place, so much care and attention to detail from the owners. Highly recommended!

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.

Good location Very nice hosts, giving good advice to visit the region Confortable room

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.

The hosts are friendly, attentive and full of useful information. The room had everything you could wish for. The view, facilities and water features are outstanding.

The only thing I didn't like was having to leave 😊

Beautiful property with amazing gardens and full view on the sea. Very quiet and comfortable. Very romantic. Wonderful hosts. Very helpful for organizing day trips. Perfect location to visit Farewell spit, that we did with small plane, wonderfully organized by our hosts. Awesome!

Location perfect , it’s just paradise.

Sonja and Filip were perfect hosts. They couldn’t do enough to help and the cake was delicious. My accommodation was immaculate and the view from the room outstanding. It was relaxing and felt luxurious.

Nothing.. it was perfect in every way.

Beautiful exquisite detail to both the room inside and out. Gardens stunning.

Neighbouring noise, could hear conversations and use of bathroom.

Very clean and well thought out. Attention to detail was excellent. We stayed in Algeria which had plenty of space and wonderful views across the bay.

Beautiful spot overlooking Golden Bay. Great hosts.

Beautiful location. Wonderful views. Hosts are very welcoming and the apartment was spectacular. Lovely pool to relax in after a day hiking.

Facilities: Outstanding; Value: Fantastic; Service: Go the extra mile; Cleanliness: Spotless; Must try their spa tub. As you bathe in hot bubbles, you look out over their lovely garden.
