Thank you, thank you, thank you for another marvelous stay. You have created such a special place here, and your hospitality is unrivaled! Returning here was a big part of why we decided to come back to New Zealand, and we're already planning our third trip! This place is paradise!

After staying in Huka Lodge, The Farm at Cape Kidnappers and Matakauri Lodge, we found Edenhouse a true joy! Peter and Bobbie were amazing hosts.

We stayed in many beautiful lodges while on our trip in New Zealand, but Edenhouse charmed us like no other, will be a lasting memory, an experience that nestles into your heart....and a place we will return to...

They have an incredible staff - every one waiting to answer your requests. The food was the best in New Zealand.

And the grounds (50 acres including 8 acres of gardens) are stunning.

This is 5 star luxury all the way! I have stayed in hotels all over the world and some are truly exceptional. This is one of those.

This is a repeat visit for us, and it is just as wonderful as we remember. We have been delighted to introduce our travelling companions to the delights and hospitality of our hosts and 'Edenhouse.

It's one thing to enjoy the hospitality of a fine five star hotel. It is clearly another to be the guests of such five star hosts in a five star lodge

This is my 3rd trip to the South Island. Your property beats every single experience we have had – from the gorgeous grounds, incredibly comfortable rooms, delicious food, to the quiet, personalized attention to our particular wishes

Edenhouse will remain at the top of our list, not just for New Zealand, but for incredible places around the world. Your hospitality is unparalleled

The whole package is just A1. We stay in lots of hotels and this goes down as a memorable favourite.

Hospitality just doesn't get any better than this.

One of the best in the country – maybe anywhere.

Everyone owning a hotel on earth should come to Edenhouse to understand how to master this business.

Just like the Garden of Eden but no snakes! Gorgeous place and fantastic hospitality.

We have been to New Zealand 3 times over the last 7 years. We have stayed at great places like xxxxxx xxxx, xxxxxxxxx xxxxx and xxxxxxx xxx, however, our stay at Edenhouse tops them all.

If you're looking for a lovely lodge, with stunning gardens, sumptuous meals and accommodating hosts be sure to book Edenhouse, but book early!

Oh my goodness, what goodness everywhere! The food, the wine, the gardens, the excursions into the forest and seaside, and above all, hospitality at every turn.

We've been home for two weeks now, and I've been thinking about writing this review......but I've been a bit stumped about how to convey what a special and luxurious experience Edenhouse was for us.

Regarding the location, it is perfectly central for exploring the local wine region, the town of Nelson, Abel Tasman National Park, fly fishing and hiking Mt. Arthur.

You have created a new category of hospitality and lodging here at Edenhouse.

This is discreet, intimate luxury at its best.

An instant word-of-mouth winner.
