We stayed here in feb 2012, and had a really great time. The units were refurbished beautifully and kept very well, the kitchen area had great facilities and the grounds of the units were just beautiful, lovely well kept gardens, great pool and even a BBQ area! The hosts were a really lovely english couple who made us feel right... More

Arriving in Motueka after dark we came upon the lodge by chance. What a treat, friendly hosts, extra clean units ( and I would say older units that have been beautifully renovated) all set in beautiful gardens. The only downside for me was that it wasn't Summer as I would have loved to try out their fabulous pool. Keep up... More

We stayed here for 3 nights during our tour "down under" and can honestly say it was the best motel we have ever stayed in. The accommodation was clean and comfortable and in beautiful gardens, full of flowers. We normally think of motels for 2 or 3 night stops but this was one you could easily stay for a week.... More

Our family stayed in a three bedroom unit and it was well equipped, clean and spacious. Alan and Lisa were very obliging hosts with a clear and impressive desire to provide top quality service. They were most helpful and very knowledgeable about the area. We appreciated the information about restaurants in town and enjoyed a fantastic meal out as a... More

We stayed here for two nights as a base for exploring Abel Tasman. I don't ordinarily mention owners by name in a review, but Alan and Lisa were great. Alan went above and beyond when our kayak company cancelled a half hour before they were supposed to pick us by calling another company that he knew we had spoken with... More

Stayed there for 2 nights. The owner called us before we arrived to check when are we expected to arrive and suggested to leave the keys somewhere in case we arrive after 10PM.. It felt good to know that we don't need to be in a rush. We arrived at 10PM and the owner was waiting for us with the... More

Clean, a little basic decor but amazing service and wonderful for families with large garden and pool area. Very peaceful and quiet.

We were planning to stay only two nights, but Alan and Lisa made us feel so welcome, the room and the gardens were so good, that we stayed five nights instead! The studio room we had was great - big and very comfortable, and looking out onto the garden and the pool was wonderful. We had breakfast on the 'terrace'... More

We stayed two nights with Alan & Lisa at Equestrian. Both Alan & Lisa were readily available to help in any way they could to make our stay enjoyable. The rooms were spacious and comfy, kitchenette, laundry, even dvd's to compensate for the NZ TV prgrammes. They even heated up the hot tub for us to soak after we had... More
