Pros: Hands down one of the best B&B’s I’ve ever stayed at, Paul and Jeanine have set the bar very high. First off, it’s a beautiful property with gorgeous rooms and thoughtful design. There is nothing like the morning or evening light coming in through sheer curtains. The owners Paul and Jeanine, were above accommodating even before we got there trying to assist with a wine tour. Paul invited us to pick plums from their tree and they were yummy, even packed some with us for the rest of our trip. The breakfast each morning was great and eating with the vines right next to you was so relaxing. My fiancé fell in love with Truffle and Bacchus, the owners dogs and had a good romp on the property with them. The property is situated close to Ruby Beach, 30 minute drive from Abel Tasman, 30 minute drive from Nelson and close to all the vineyards in that region for tours. Jeanine put together a list of vineyards for us to check out and Paul even made our dinner reservation for us in Nelson the night we arrived. This is beyond service. We stayed in the Chardonnay room which was immaculate, we couldn’t hear a peep from our neighbours and if the owners hadn’t told us there was a full house we wouldn’t have known. The bed was so comfy it was really hard to get out of it the first morning for our sea kayak, also great pressure in the shower and lots of hot water. I can’t recommend this place enough. You will not be disappointed.

Pros: Beautiful place with friendly hosts. Truffle the labrador was a favorite!

Pros: We enjoyed all four nights that we stayed here. Jeannette and Paul were very helpful and they had paid attention to some of the little details we hadn’t experienced on our three week NZ visit. The room was spotless, the bedding lovely, the outdoor area set up with a little table and chairs and a jacuzzis all with a view of vineyards. The WiFi was the best we have had all trip. We could order what we wanted from a continental breakfast menu and it would be delivered at whatever time we specified in the morning. We could even pick apples from their two trees to eat. We would highly recommend Pine Hill Lodge.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Amazingly comfortable bed and pillow, very peaceful. Good shower and spotlessly clean.

Pros: Excellent breakfast and beautiful views. The owners of the property were professional and very friendly. The room was close to restaurants and the beach.

Pros: It was stunning. The grounds were filled with grapes and there were fruit trees.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Nestled amongst the grape vines, this was amongst the most luxurious places we stayed when in New Zealand this February. It’s not far from Murahau - a spring board onto the Abel tasman trail. The high quality of furnishings and decor, the cleanliness, the care and attention by our hosts was absolutely second to none. I’d have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone. Our hosts very kindly lent me a tripod to photograph the Milky Way at night but as I didn’t have a remote control shutter release sadly many of my results were inadequate. I would highly recommend this location and would have no hesitation in booking it again.

Cons: That we couldn’t stay longer!

Pros: Lovely hosts. Selfmade breakfast. Very clean and comfortable. Perfect stay.

Pros: Everything was perfect. The facility is first rate; our hosts are super; the location provides great access to the area. Good restaurants are nearby at Mapua wharf.

Cons: The GPS on our rental car had not been updated. It was easier to simply follow the signs to their location than to trust GPS.

Pros: I arrived to a very warm room heaters were on just great. Very helpful staff carrying bags to our unit believe me I had a few bags and nothing was a problem! I would stay again!

Cons: Curtain on unit covered door as we open and closed trivial but annoying as we were coming and going and having to draw it to close it coming and going!!!

Pros: Very spacious rooms with everything we needed. The beds were comfortable and warm. The owner was very helpful and got us an extra heater for our daughters room. Super handy location.

Cons: Eating places not easy unless you want KFC or McD.will return

Pros: Staff were very friendly, room was a great size and well equipped. Very clean and tidy excellent for the price paid. Handy location to food and activities. Kids enjoyed the pool and getting an Easter egg!

Cons: Nothing in particular

Pros: Manager very obliging. Handy to a variety of food outlets.

Cons: Shower curtain should be closer to the floor to stop water splashing the floor around the toilet and vanity.

Pros: The owner, Tony, was very friendly, charming and humorous. We got a really nice welcome from him. There was a lovely pool and the beach was about a 5 minute walk away - and what a great beach. It was our favourite place on our whole trip. We ate at Smugglers, about a block away, on Tony's recommendation. The meal was superb (the brisket) and their staff were also friendly and fun. The room was great - big fluffy white towels. Very clean place. We can't wait to go back to the Apex. Laundry was available at a very good price.

Cons: I found that most motels with laundries had very small dryers. This would be the only thing I would change about this wonderful place.

Pros: A great place to stay and perfect for our sports team, we will be back next year! The rooms where all of a good size, comfortable, clean and well set up. The manager was very friendly and helpful, he even helped to get us all back to the airport to save a shuttle bus for all of our bags. Highly recommended!

Cons: Nothing, it was as expected, great value and good place to stay

Pros: Late arriving - but they had my room warm and ready for me. Then left early but no problem - rang them later in the day to check all was ok (since my stay was brief and no signing in) and got an awesome positive response. Great having separate kitchen - love to spend a long weekend here.

Cons: Close to a busy road - a front room might be a little noisey

Pros: Very good value for money. And very good service very nice and helpful.

Cons: Bed was a little hard.

Pros: The sleeping arrangements suited our family situation. Roomy unit.

Cons: We found the bed was not that comfortable Being in a front unit we noticed some road noise. We picked that particular unit without realising it was a roadside unit.

Pros: Fantastic accomodating staff . Had a late booking and they had heating on all ready. Very friendly

Pros: Location was excellent - on the main road but set back so no noise issues. A selection of restaurants, a gas station and shops were all within a three minute walk. The continental breakfast supplied was tasty and a good start to the day - just the right amount. Shower was excellent, the Sky TV had plenty of choice, internet was simple and there was even an electric blanket!

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Location was perfect, a few minutes drive away from everything. Room was clean, a good value for money!

Pros: Lovely staff very helpful, great location with in walking distance from some good restaurants. Also only a 5 minute drive to Nelson city centre which has plenty of choices for anyones pallet. room was very nice and clean perfect for chilling in when you've had a busy day exploring the lovely area. Also got a free upgrade when we we got there which was a lovely surprise. Would recommend this accommodation to anyone and when we come to visit again this is going to be our first choice!

Pros: Perfect location for family reasons. Clean and tidy. It was very spacious.

Cons: There bed was a little hard for our liking.

Pros: When I arrived the heatpump had been put on to warm the room. Breakfast was bought to the room at 6.00 p.m which meant I could get ready with no worries about being in the shower or getting dressed when it arrived in the morning.

Cons: No complaints.
