Lakeside Lodge is several minutes outside of central Motueka which is perfect as it is away from the hustle and bustle of the touristy town. The house itself is beautiful, and it is nestled on Graeme and Lisa's farm which includes a pasture for the cows and sheep, a chicken coop, an area for pigs, a bee hive, a forest... More

This stay exceeded all our expectations. It was not cheap , but was excellent value. We enjoyed an evening meal with the hosts, Lisa and Graeme who made us feel like old friends , and offered the most excellent meal of home smoked salmon- delicious! The location was ideal for us - we were on our way to the Nelson... More

We loved our stay at Lakeside Lodge. It is in a lovely idyllic location in the beautiful Motueka Valley and is perfect for exploring the area around Abel Tasman or fishing at the nearby Motueka River. Our host family were so interesting and hospitable. We very much enjoyed their delightful children as well. Our room was comfortable and furnished in... More

Leaving was a hard... More
