    A great place to stay.

    A great place to stay. Lovely safe beach for walking and swimming. Wainui falls and labyrinth rocks not far away. About 20 minutes to Tākaka for a browse through really interesting shops and 40 minutes to Collingwood for the farewell spit tour. Nothing disappointed.

    Molly’s restaurant was ideally sited with an excellent menu for both adults/children. Staff were lovely and friendly. We visited Wharariki Beach which was a beautiful area featuring the Archway Islands and also nearby Tata Beach - popped into Takaka a few times to visit the local market and various cafes - would definitely visit Pohara again.

    Everything we needed within walking distance, inhouse bar and restaurant were amazing. Spa pool and swimming pool were very clean. It felt like a resort. Easy drive to many local attractions, kayaking, walks, distillery, art studios. Staff were so friendly and professional. Food was top class - we dined there all 3 nights. We could choose from the entire menu for our "Breakfast Included" deal (which was extensive). Bathroom was well appointed with large shower, bathrobes, toiletries, hairdryer and loads of linen. Beds were sooooo comfortable.

    We could have stayed longer but our accommodation was really bad so it tainted our experience of Pohara a bit. But... the locals seem real nice, location is great, close to Takaka and surrounded by amazing natural beauty.

    Amazing views, stylish and comfortable. While a small space, it had everything needed and more. I was impressed with the kitchenware which was well-supplied and thought out for use in a small space. There was an inflatable paddle board which is great to take out on a calm morning and watch the dawn from the water. Short walking distance to several restaurants. The host was responsive. I wouldn’t hesitate to come back and stay longer.

    Thank you very much for letting us use your wonderful house at Pohara. It is simply amazing and could not have picked a nicer place to Stay. When we are asked for a review, it will be absolutely glowing as we found it just what we would expect if we were renting a place. If we are ever back in the area again we would love to book it again and we will be telling friends and family the same. Thank you again so very much.

    great location with a very short walk to the beach, nice comfy wee cabin with great bathroom. only thing I would change would be a sink ( either inside or outside ) for washing dishes instead of needing to do them in the bathroom hand basin, and perhaps a wifi booster because internet connection is not good. I haven’t written these suggestions in the “didn’t like” box as they aren’t huge things that you can’t work around .

    Filip and Sonya were fabulous hosts-very hospitable and generous with information and recommendations. The shuttle service to Abel Tasman made a day tramping in the park seamless. We enjoyed the accommodations so much we were lucky enough to be able to extend our stay by one day. Pōhara is an excellent location for visiting the Golden Bay and I can’t recommend the Bay Lodge highly enough.

    The Bay Lodge is simply stunning, everything that could have been added to ensure a comfortable stay has been, all the boxes ticked including heated swimming pool, spa pool, outdoor furniture and day beds. Our hosts were welcoming and informative, the space was private and relaxing. Expectations exceeded, luxury delivered. Thank you

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. From check-in to check-out the staff were extremely warm and polite. The rooms were great and pre-heated, which was nice on a cooler day. Our experience was such that this will be our go-to accommodation in Golden Bay in the future. Thank you, Ethan and all your staff for a wonderful experience.

    Very comfy bed!! Shower blocks were super clean and a hairdryer was readily available. Cabin was right on the beach access. Great to have ironing board available as we were here for a wedding. Handy to have plates, cups, utensils etc in the cabin to use. Shop had pretty much everything you could need.

    Very nice view across Pōhara and the bay. Well equipped kitchen. Shelley is a welcoming host and had given many tips on sight seeing, dinner and activities. Ask her about the Wednesday Walkers if staying midweek.
