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.

Very comfortable,clean and friendly place to stay. Bed very comfy.
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.

The beach is the highlight. Clean, sandy safe beach.
The beach is the highlight. Clean, sandy safe beach. Great for walking when tide out and swimming when tide in. Very safe for children.
Close proximity to Takaka and good Restaurants. Will be back.

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 instant serenity upon stepping into the garden here was just what we needed to end our hiking holiday. The hens, the flowers, the quiet. The shower and loo both have a beautiful view of kawakawa and trees, wash those troubles away! There a lovely spots to sit around the garden, so make sure you have time to sit all over the place :)
Really cozy, beautiful accommodation!
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.
Great location close to beach access, local bar and Cafe, great pizza shop. Very clean. Everything in the house was in good working order despite being an older house. It was like 'house sitting" for a friend - firewood chopped, fresh linen and plenty of kitchen supplies. Made our stay easy.
We loved the tranquility of the individual cottages in nature. The owner Steve was very friendly helpful and a great host. Enjoyed the ginger cat visiting us . Walking from cottage to beach and surroundings so easy. Lovely spacious clean and comfortable
Highly recommend. Food is delicious and they make you very welcome. I was impressed how they asked each table at breakfast "what are your plans for the day" and would suggest ideas and then bring you a map of places of interest.
Amazing view over the bay, lovely host (Shelly you are great <3 ) with a lot of local tips and recommendations. Nice Appartment with everything that you need for a relaxing stay.
