Ticked all the boxes We loved our stay at the Shearer’s cottage . Private and stylish with a lovely private vista Timo was very accommodating and gave us some farm produce to enjoy . The fire place was great on cooler nights . Would visit again absolutely.

Life saving We were booked into pear orchard lodge after our camper van broke down Timo and his wife could not have done more for us the room was clean comfortable. The facilities were spotless The gave the run of the kitchen. The service even extended to allowing us to leave our luggage until we could pick it up later And also saved our lives when Timo found my wallet Thanks from 2greatful Brits hope you go from strength to strength Thanks again

Hidden gem in Hope near Nelson, NZ A hidden gem in Hope near Nelson, NZ! After our tramping during 3 full days in Abel Tasman National park (which is only 1h drive from the orchard), we relaxed in this oasis of pear trees, passion fruits, sheep, chicken, etc. Beautiful sunsets on the deck with a local glass of wine along with our amazing host Timo's personal story made our stay the most memorable. Incredibly well-designed and spotless rooms and common areas are a great reminder to come back and stay longer next time. Thank you Timo for having us, we'll be back !

Stunning scenery and quiet I needed somewhere to stay for one night - just ver night and all of my usual haunts were booked out. This was more than I wanted to pay but had not a lot of choice. It’s a beautiful setting wth fabulous views - large kitchen and fab outside seating areas. Stayed in a king bedroom upstairs with a shared bathroom for 4 rooms. The room was beautiful but essentially a bedroom. Everything was very clean. It was slightly noisy in the night as could hear next door room talking. Earplugs were provided. All in all a good stay - slightly expensive considering a shared bathroom but stunning setting does make up for this. Just make sure you have a few hours to sit and enjoy it.

Lovely getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city - relax on a working farm We stayed 4 nights at The Pear Orchard Lodge to meet up with some friends who are touring the country in a campervan and were in Nelson. I’d elected for one of the ensuite rooms as I don’t like sharing a bathroom with people I don’t know (yes, fussy aren’t I!); however for a big group the set up would have been ideal. There’s a large communal kitchen and a lovely outdoor seating area which you can use too. We didn’t cook but saw several fellow travellers who did. I would describe the bedroom as rustic – it had everything you needed but the furniture was quite - well, rustic! For example the wardrobe was old fashion and tiny and there wasn’t much space to put your clothes. However it was very comfortable and Timo our host was lovely. We hired their electric bikes for a day for us and our friends and he helped us plan a route.

Another Great Stay at the TPOL This is my second time staying at the Lodge, this place is perfect for the adventurer traveler as you are already on the outskirts of Nelson for early starts, the Lodge is quiet and well appointed. The beds are super comfortable and the place is spotless. Looking forward to staying there on my next trip to the Tasman Region.

Great hideaway in Tasman We stayed here three times while bikepacking in the Tasman region. Couldn't be improved, from the quiet, rural yet handy location, Timo's helpful hospitality, extremely well-appointed comfortable lodgings, beautiful outlook, and delicious breakfasts. Highly recommended.
