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 Michelin restaurants. Thank you for this excellent accomodation experience!

We simply cannot say enough wonderful things about our stay at the lodge. Valeriy met us upon arrival and made sure our stay was perfection throughout. From herbal tea in the afternoon with fresh berries, to an absolutely delectable dinner and breakfast, our time in kaiteriteri was unforgettable. The views take your breath away from every angle.
We enjoyed the hot tub at sunrise and the kayaks/paddleboards during the day on the private beach. Our bed was incredibly comfortable as well. We wish we could stay forever but will certainly be back.

Amazing house with attention to every detail! It makes a huge impression and looks even better in reality than in the photos. The hosts treat you like a friend, not a customer and they are amazing! The level of hotels such as Four Seasons, Six Senses or Raffles!

Everything has been perfect! An amazing place to stay near Abel Tasman with stunning views and a private path to the beach, which was almost completely private. We were so well taken care of and received quick and professional answers to all our questions. We even had last-minute requests that were handled without any issues. The service was excellent.
We hope to have the chance to return to this fantastic accommodation!

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.

We were greeted by Valeriy on arrival, he showed us around the beautiful abode, and then the suite we had booked, which was secluded, palatial, and absolutely amazing, with views that took our breath away. The meals he prepared were delicious and professional. A short walk to the secluded beach for a swim, kayak or paddle board, which are all on offer and made use of. The service, abode and drive to get there were all worth the money spent, if you are contemplating a stay at a luxury lodge this is well worth a splurge.

We’ve been booking Airbnbs for over 10 years and this is the best place we’ve ever stayed. The location is amazingly beautiful with a gore private beach just steps away. The fact there’s a private chef cooking up restaurant-quality meals for breakfast and dinner every day is just insane. And, finally, the views from the room are just spectacular. Well worth the price.

This is a beautiful property with a stunning view of Tasman Bay. The chef and host Valery took good care of us and fed us gourmet food. We enjoyed kayaking, swimming on the secluded beach as well as visiting with other guests on the patio with glorious views!

We loved our stay at Lodge by the Beach! We had booked an Airbnb that turned out to be a disaster and we suddenly found ourselves near Abel Tasman National Park without a place to stay. We quickly booked one night at the lodge with no idea that we had found a piece of heaven. Valeriy met us at the door and made us feel right at home. We were so happy that we stayed a second night. The food was outstanding and we really enjoyed the company of the other guests. Leaving the lodge at the end of our stay was not easy.

We loved our stay at Lodge by the Beach! We had booked an Airbnb that turned out to be a disaster and we suddenly found ourselves near My wife and I had the most incredible stay at this beautiful lodge in Abel Tasman, New Zealand. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the breathtaking views and the serene atmosphere. One of the highlights was having our own private beach—waking up to the sound of the waves and enjoying the peaceful surroundings was simply magical.
Our host, Valery, made our experience even more special. He was warm, welcoming, and an exceptional chef! Every breakfast and dinner he prepared was absolutely delicious, made with fresh ingredients and incredible attention to detail. Dining while overlooking the stunning scenery made each meal even more memorable.
If you’re looking for a relaxing and luxurious escape in nature, this lodge is the perfect choice. We can’t wait to come back!

We had an incredible stay at the Jacuzzi Suite! The room was beautiful, set in a stunning house with breathtaking views over the rocky headlands and beach. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Valeriy, the host and chef, who is not only a lovely person but also an exceptionally talented cook.
Having both breakfast and dinner included was a huge plus, especially since there aren’t many restaurants nearby. Every meal was delicious and carefully prepared, making our stay feel even more special. We also enjoyed the company of other guests and were fortunate to meet the owners, Alan and Luba, on our last night. They were incredibly hospitable and wonderful company, adding to the warm and welcoming atmosphere of the home.
If you’re looking for a peaceful, scenic getaway with fantastic food and great hospitality, this is the perfect place. Highly recommend!

This place was by far the nicest lodging we encountered while on a 16 day trip to NZ. Kinda like staying at a Four Seasons but way better. Private beach, awesome views, first class facilities, not too far from town, and great hosts all made our stay one of the best we had. Don’t pass up the chance to stay here, it’s worth it.

The internal facilities are super high-end, the service staff are super nice, and they always wait for my arrival no matter what time it is. Breakfast and dinner are provided, and the external scenery is pleasant. I will definitely come again in the future!

Seriously Excellent plus plus!
Having travelled a lot around the world and in New Zealand this is one of the most wonderful places I have stayed. Location in secluded spot at end of a peninsula, breath taking views and accommodation with amazing service.
