Don’t want to cook? We can provide farm-style breakfast and arrange catering:
Have your evening meals pre-prepared for you from local ingredients by a local chef, ready for you to warm up in the lodge kitchen or book a private chef to cook your evening meals for you at the lodge.

Enjoy The Good Life at The Pear Orchard: climb the hill and enjoy the views, relax in the outdoor lounge or one of our hammocks, explore the orchard, and for the kids, there are farm animals to meet and an old tractor tyre to swing on! Find out more about what you can do on the farm.
Nearby, ride the Great Taste Cycle Trail and visit local artists, vineyards, markets and food producers. Relax at stunning beaches, shred world class MTB trails or go hiking or kayaking in the Abel Tasman, Kahurangi or Nelson Lakes National Park. Find out more about activities in the region!
If you haven’t got time to tour all the amazing food and beverage producers in our region, why not book a private tasting directly at the lodge?
Thought about staying for two nights? Make it three or four! There is so much to see and to do in the area that most of our guests wish they had planned for a longer stay when they arrive. Have a look at some popular itinerary modules to get a feel for the number of nights you should book!
