Relaxing choice for the Tasman area,

Eden's Edge Lodge is an excellent choice for exploring the Tasman area, Kaiteriteri beach, etc. It is part of a small orchard/farm, so sources its own fruit, herbs, and eggs for breakfast. Very pleasant and relaxing, yet only a five-minute drive from Matueka for restaurants and shopping.

Great stay, would stay again

Very cute property with amazing views, very generous breakfast and cooking appliances, comfortable beds, and fresh fruit and pastries. The hosts are very kind and so are their cats. The wifi is good. Only downside was finding cockroaches in the food area and the room, but it's also a pretty nature-y place so maybe it's to be expected? That didn't take away from our experience but it's definitely something you can expect!

Great communal kitchen with fresh eggs and fruit from the farm. Homemade jams, custard pastries too. The kitchen was well designed and stocked with fresh milks, great coffee and teas, bread, butter including olive oil butter... One of my favorite places to sleep so far. Great strong hot shower too with nice amenities.

Get Away from it All

My stay was exceptional at Eden Edge’s Lodge. The breakfast is much appreciated since most places in New Zealand do not offer breakfast as part of your stay.

The communal facilities were fantastic. The kitchen had everything you needed to cook with. The owners were so friendly and helpful. We lost our key when we went out for dinner and we had to disturb them around 10 pm. They did not fuss about it and just requested we have a good look for the keys. I would absolutely recommend this place if you want beautiful surroundings in a communal type environment. And this place is very close to the Abel Tasman boat shuttles (10 min by car).

Great pastries and fresh eggs and gorgeous property! Lovely community living space and kitchen. Decided to stay for 2 extra nights because we had such a warm welcome. Love the private bathroom which is why we normally would hesitate with shared living spaces, but the hosts have been great.
