Description

Whether you just have one night here or 7, there is plenty to see and do. The Pear Orchard Lodge is located just outside Richmond, close to stunning beaches and great walking tracks including the Abel Tasman National Park, and the famous Tasman Great Taste Cycle Trail. Whether hiking the Te Araroa trail, kayaking, cycling on the Nelson Tasman Great Taste Trail, mountain biking, fishing or going to the beach, the region offers something for everyone.

Our farmlet sits slightly elevatedwithin an idyllic rural setting in Hope, overlooking the Waimea Plains with its orchards, wineries and incredible produce. It includes paddocks where we graze some cows and sheep, the home orchard, with some fruit trees and home to our chickens, a wetland area with native bush and bird life, a big pond, loved by our ducks and geese and of course the pear orchard.

A cluster of buildings forms the heart of the farmlet: the old farm house (where we live), various barns and outbuildings and the lodge, which can accommodate up to 16 guests. (Note: Book our Shearer's Cottage to accommodate up to 4 more guests!) With its large sunny verandah, garden area and associated 'hay barn', the lodge is also a great place for small events , corporate retreats and family get-togethers.

While purposely rough and rustic on the outside, the lodge building follows clean lines and is designed to a high spec inside. The design is inspired by the local vernacular and refined to blend in with other outbuildings around the farm. The building's proportions and exterior interpret the typical old barns seen in the Tasman area with their ramshackle patchwork of old corrugated iron, hand-made carpentry detailing and overhanging roof lines.

We love the genuine country life and take great pleasure from sharing it with our visitors. We invite you to visit our little slice of paradise and hope to meet you soon.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Pear Orchard Lodge. The place is beautifully set up and thought has been given to what guests will need. We had the whole lodge booked for a family get-together, and it was fantastic to have room for everyone and no 'dud' bedrooms. The kitchen is well set up for catering to a large group, without ever feeling like you are on top of each other, and it was nice to have the large dining table and a serving table. One thing that we agreed would have made it perfect was a comfortable lounge space (particularly for the day we were 'rained in'), but nonetheless it suited us very well. Would definitely recommend.

The Lodge has a fantastically equipped large kitchen, lovely large rooms with space for everyone to spread out. The house has a lovely feel and the wood burner fire is fabulous on those cold nights. Fully recommend a stay.
