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.

High standard rustic boutique lodge accommodation.

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.

Eco friendly quiet retreat

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
