Very pleasant stay and friendly people. Cheers Jason.
Location was excellent. Great views and very quiet whilst not being too far from town.
Cost of a continental breakfast at 30 dollars p.p. was just too much. Everything might have been homemade but it still cost far too much. Our room was comfortable but we had to share a shower with another three people…..think that 250 per night was overpriced, especially when compared to other accommodation we enjoyed on our trip.
A true farm house with chickens and fresh fruit trees. The house and our bedroom and bath were well furnished and clean. The owners were warm and very nice and had fresh fruit from the farm for us. The views down the hill were beautiful as well. We had returned from Golden Bay and heading west the next day and this being in Hope saved us a good 20 minutes being west of Nelson. Definitely recommend.
A real gem! The property is wonderful, stylish, comfortable and luxurious. It is surrounded by beautiful countryside, a real retreat and treat. Host is very helpful and made us most welcome. The kitchen, dining and sitting areas are well equipped. One regret: we didn't stay longer.
Very quiet place, there is no noise from roads or smth else. Should be very good for a big company as it has a comfortable room with fireplace and board games. That was not the harvest season, but we found some ripe plums. Exploring the farm is a good experience, too.
Beautiful, all services, amazing welcome and place
My family and I had 2 rooms on the ground floor, however, here is very little sound proofing between the ground floor and upstairs units. There were often items dropped on the floor, in some rooms in the upstairs units late at night which was startling. The constant walking in the rooms in the upstairs units was also disturbing.
Quaint, country lifestyle and really comfortable place.
Nothing
Nice and friendly
A beautiful boutique accomodation set in the surrounding countryside of Richmond . Tastefully renovated with stunning views and elegant bedrooms . A little noisy in communal kitchen area in evening , otherwise great.
the owners were very nice and the room was clean and quiet, nice rural flavor
I was planning to stay in Nelson to pick up a friend in the AM, but all rooms were booked...the room seemed a bit pricey for bathroom down the hall and remote location, need to drive for meals
Great location in Hope with small farm vibe. Fresh farm- seasonal fruit on dining table is welcoming. Comfy bed. Excellent kitchen facilities & BBQ. Attentive host- helpful but not intrusive- lives nearby on farm. Country style luxe. Convenient for day trips North to Tasman NP, winery hills & Mapau- also ti Nelson about 10min drive away. nearby drive 2 some great local eateries & supply shops. Would definetely stay again .
Unique and tranquil setting amongst farmland and bush. Great communal kitchen and outdoor area with views over Nelson. Beautiful rooms and facilities.
Great host
Perfect Location Great Gardens Beautiful Place Friendly Staff Clean and Tidy

beautifully appointed and lovely location
sharing bathroom with other unknown guests
Lovely stay, you get the country feel yet close to town. Friendly and accommodating host. Clean modern rooms with beautiful views and a spacious kitchen. Wonderful outdoor spaces to have breakfast or watch the sunset. We had the house to ourselves and even got a room upgrade. We warmly recommend this lodge!
What an amazing place to stay, embedded in beautiful Nelson hills this tranquil lodge was a slice of heaven. All the creature comforts in this beautifully decorated lodge, the views are stunning and wildlife abundant, with plenty of space to sit inside or outside and enjoy it all. Highly recommend for ‘that getaway’ or any occasion and the owners are fabulous.
Nothing :)
“T” was exceptional. Breakfast was was excellent. And traditional
The Pear Orchard Lodge is a lovely place to stay and we would highly recommend it! Our room was large and comfortable and we particularly enjoyed sitting in the garden area.
SchönesHaus in ländlicher Umgebung, mit viel Massivholz und Sorgfalt eingerichtet. Zu weiche Matratze. Schöne Aussicht von der Terrasse und den Zimmern. Gutes Frühstück mit selbstgebackenem Brot. Ruhige Lage.
Timo so friendly and helpful, lovely peaceful place
Beautiful property, great location, the kids loved being near all the animals. The Shearer’s Cottage was beautifully appointed.
Love the walk at the pear Orchard and the view from the hill for sunset as well as getting close to all the farm animals. Will definitely come back if there is opportunity 👍👍👍😍😍😍
Loved the outdoor bath under the stars! And delicious breakfast - many thanks.
perfect location...........close to everything. nice and quiet. Great facilities. Breakfast is great with freshly baked bread and in house jams.
Despite arriving very late due to cancelled flights, everything was made easy.
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!
Excellent service and stunning location. Room was lovely and comfortable.
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
A perfect location just a short drive from the heart of Nelson. Attractive decor with a huge breakfast. Outside dining with a wonderful country view. Timo, the host was very welcoming.
Stay here.
