The Bay Lodge

We can only echo the other enthusiastic reviews: a very tastefully furnished accommodation with a fantastic view and very friendly and competent hosts. We felt like we were in paradise at Bay Lodge with its exceptional garden design. The impressive surroundings also make this accommodation an ideal travel destination. Gabriele and Bernhard

Definitely among the best experience for our honeymoon throughout New Zealand. The place is stunningly beautiful, both in location and decoration. Sonja & Filip were not only amazing hosts, but also experienced guides as they told us clear instructions on our to explore the hidden gems of Abel Tasman region. Thanks again for everything, and hope to see you again soon! ✨

What a stunning place Filip and Sonja have established at the Golden Bay. It is a travelers dream. Every detail well-thought-out and they can give you valuable hints for New Zealand. They have a vast experience in the travel business and are perfect hosts. Unfortunately we only stayed for 2 nights - if we would have known we would have stayed longer. When returning from your day-trip a homemade cake expects you in your room :-) Thank you very much for making our stay so special.

Filip and Sonja, our journey through the south Island of New Zealand has only just begun and I have no doubt this will be our sweetest and most memorable stay. There is no doubt you are passionate as hosts and get a lot of joy from what you do. Thank you for making us feel so at home and helping to make our stay on the Golden Bay so memorable! Truly, Jennifer & Mark Dew, Florida, USA
