Great peaceful stay
We stayed for two nights with our toddler and enjoyed a peaceful stay. It was nice and close to Mapua and the facilities were comparable, modern and clean. Would stay again and is better value than the majority of places in Nelson itself

Self-caterer's perfect base ......
We are very familiar with the region and chose Anna's accommodation for its idyllic rural location which was ideally placed to explore in all directions. The home is very tastefully decorated, spacious and comfortable.- we wanted for nothing. Anna is an excellent 'host' - very welcoming and always available, but in a quiet, inobtrusive way - so important. Thank you, Anna.

We loved our stay. Anna was so helpful in suggesting things for us to do. We loved the beach at split apple rock. Enjoy your stay. The picnic area and grill were wonderful. And it was so nice to have a half bathroom in addition to the full bath.

Perfect for exploring Nelson region
This property is tranquil, well appointed, and is the perfect spot to explore the coastlines of Golden Bay, Abel Tasman, Mapua, Tahunanui, across to Nelson. We appreciated the thoughtfulness of our hosts, from before we arrived, with meticulous instructions on how to find the property, to a warm welcome, and while we were staying - Anna even saved our washing by bringing it inside when a sudden shower of rain threatened! ... A beautiful holiday home, with wonderful hosts. Thanks for a great stay.

Ahhhh, relaxation!!
The property is beautiful in an amazing setting! The hosts are friendly and helpful at the same time as being hardly noticed. It is a beautiful house with stunning views! A wine on the balcony, or breakfast, is great for destressing! Their Springer Spaniel will often great you home with a friendly woof and comes up for a fuss before heading back to her side. There are plenty of things to do relatively close by (minimum 10 min drive) , from cafes, glass factory, food markets, galleries, beaches, and escape rooms. The one problem with this place was that we had to leave.

Fabulous Redwood valley
What a fabulous stay we had in Redwood Lodge. Such a beautiful, spotlessly clean and well thought out property, with everything you could ever need. It was lovely sitting out on the balcony admiring the views and listening to the bird song. Anna and Guy are great hosts and made us feel so welcome. Many thanks, we will definitely be back to stay in your slice of paradise.

After 3 years we returned from Germany to Redwood Valley due to our very good experience before, spent 10 days with our family, enjoyed the stunning view, the quietness and the very well equiped apartment and possibility to use the outside terrace and barbecue area. Anna and Guy are an extremely nice and helpful couple. Uwe and Andrea

Peaceful location, beautiful house
We loved our stay, the hosts where very friendly, the property has a long driveway and nestled on top of a rise the view over gardens and valley are amazing. Tui's and other birds flutter about out your window dashing from tree to tree. The layout of the rooms has a free-flow style, and this makes for easy family times apart and together. Looking forward to visiting again another time.

Fabulous stay in amazing property
This property certainly has the WOW factor. It is a little remote, but that is a bonus for us! Host gave accurate directions to find it. The 2 bedroom apartment is attached to the owner's home - a huge house on a hilltop with stunning views and peace and quiet. The apartment is spacious, very comfortable and modern and equipped well including a laundry room. Comfy bed and great shower. No shops nearby so stock up with food before arrival - Richmond is about 20 minutes away and has everything including a mall and 2 supermarkets. The location was ideal as a base to visit Abel Tasman Park and there are very many activities in the area. However, you may just want to relax and chill is this wonderful place!

Great location and relaxed setting
We really enjoyed our stay. Warm and sunny and everything was great. Nice fire, good kitchen, good beds, cute dog, fantastic views. Don't go walking to the kitchen for water in the dark in the middle of the night though (sensible people don't do this anywhere new), because you might miss the step like I did. Hurts. I think there will be a night light from now on, for other people who make ill-advised middle of the night treks.

So sorry that you had your fall. There will definitely be a night light from now on. Glad you enjoyed your stay though. Hope to see you again sometime.

Really enjoyed our stay. It is such a comfortable place and I loved the big doors that open to the veranda embracing that beautiful rural setting. Such a delight having coffee out there. Thank you Anna for everything. PS: I hope you heard that Great Spotted Male Kiwi calling at dusk.
Response from VrboOwner on 22 Mar 2020
Glad you enjoyed your stay. It was great to meet you and hopefully we will see you again. I can hear the bellbird, tui, morepork, and the fantails are flying around but haven't heard the kiwi yet!
