We had a relaxed time at the Pear Orchard Lodge for the start of our Tasman/Golden Bay holiday. It's nestled on the bottom of a hill, 2mins off the main highway. Perfect for those who wants a quiet getaway. But its also close to the route to Mapua and Abel Tasman. The shared amenities makes a good social space to meet likeminded travelers and share meals or drink wine with. Its situated in a farm with animals, so dont be surprised to be woken up by a rooster in the morning. Timo's baking is really good too!
