Reviews of Kea Ridge King Ensuite Room

The property is out of this world! The hot tub is phenomenal. The jacuzzi bath was also brilliant! The views are incredible, the amenities are superb. Genuinely every aspect of our stay here surpassed all expectations. If you’re staying and wanting to do a few day trips in Abel Tasman, this will make the experience unforgettable!

We were warned and it’s completely fine, but the driveway is steep for anyone not confident in driving. But this is a small price to pay for a 10/10 Accomodation!

The views at the Kea ridge lodge were absolutely stunning! Make sure you catch the sunset and sunrise when visiting, especially whilst lounging in the hot tub! Mark was a wonderful host and made us feel very welcome and was great to chat with. His kitchen was clean and well stocked with more than enough space for guests to store their food.

The place was great! It’s a little hard to find as it’s hidden away so make sure to look out for his street number on the main road. It has a cute bird cut out above it.

Perfect location. Amazing views, very peaceful. Amenities are spot on and a very knowledgeable host. An awesome base for exploring Golden Bay and the abel tasman.

Couldn't use ensuite spa bath couldn't get jets to work.

Everything Amazing

Absolutely stunning home with gorgeous views!

My car didn't love the driveway but it was totally worth it lol

What a view! Beautiful accommodation! Lots to do in the house! So clean and tidy! Spectacular views!

Nothing! :)

Welcoming host, wonderful views and feeling of remoteness while being only 20 minutes away from Motueka and Abel Tasman! Room and bathroom were clean. We liked the very good kitchen and spaciuos shared space. We had no problems driving to the house with Suzuki Swift during good weather, but keep in mind that the driveway is steep. The location itself is on top of the hill of a very cool mountain pass. For me it was a bonus.

This accommodation is stunning! With an amazing view and facilities. The host is lovely and made us feel very welcoming. This is an absolute must stay if you are in the area.

Nothing it was all amazing!

Awesome location, brilliant views and a very solid, quiet house - we had strong winds and hardly noticed.

Driveway is very steep and a bit bumpy. Wasn’t much of a problem getting out though.

Beautiful setting in Takaka hill, close to all your adventuring needs. Lovely cosy room, with extra comfortable bed! Facilities were spot on and hosts very welcoming. Great place to stay and hope to be back again!

Amazing view and setting. Friendly and environmentally conscious hosts. Spotless clean. We had the whole house to ourselves. Enjoyed the stars in the hottub.

Stunning house and location great for accessing Abel Tasman and surrounds.

A lack of clarity as to whether the host was going to be in the house also (they weren't in the end) and an incorrect accusation from the cleaners that we had left the bathroom in a state...

Everything! The location is a little remote and the driveway is a steep gravelroad with some sheep waiting or you from time to time, but it's absolutely worth the climb! The views are breathtaking! The jaccuzi on the terrace with a view down to Able Tasman NP is the best way to close a day. The shared kitchen and living area is huuuuuge with even a pool table included. There are also a washing maschine and a dryer you could use. And last but not least, the hosts are really lovely people you'd like to meet! This was our best stay in 3 weeks on the South Island. We'd definitely book again!

Heating the whole house is a little challenging if you're not used to light up wood in an oven and don't want to burn down other peoples homes. ;-).

Everything from the views to the homely feel. And to Mark being such a legend of a host, he was so chill and welcoming when me and my partner arrived. Would definitely be back again 👌 p.s driveway is steep but definitely accessible in and out with your car just take it slow bro.

Location, views, comfort, facilities, style and personality. Very friendly host (thanks Mark!). As you approach the impression is wonderful, but when you walk in...WOW! We will recommend this property to all our friends and family.

The views surrounding the house are spectacular, and it is unique in its setting. It is furnished with creative flair in one open plan space. It was well equipped and comfortable for our short stay . Pool table good fun !

The access road is very steep .We were glad to have 4WD!

It was a superb location - so peaceful with wonderful views. Our host, Mark, was not there so we had the entire beautiful house to ourselves. We soaked in the jacuzzi, washed clothes, cooked dinner in the well equipped kitchen, and spread out everything we owned to get ready for a 3-day tramp in Abel Tasman. I wish we could have stayed longer.

The driveway was a bit hard to navigate but well worth it.

Incredible views. Wonderful room and super comfy bed. Kitchen was well stocked. Since the shower was a tub/ shower combo our host let my husband use the master walk in shower (Thank you, Mark). The hot tub outside was nice and warm and the view from it incredible. Great place for star gazing.

We wanted to be outside of town so the distance from town was not an issue. It was well worth the drive! The driveway was a bit of a challenge in that there were short portions that were steep. I wished I had 4 wheel drive but made it up and down both days. Listen to the host and “stay wide”.

Amazing accommodation with unbelievable views on the hills (pictures don't do it justice). Everything was well prepared for our stay with clear instructions from the host.

The peace and tranquility. The views. The AMAZING sunrise. The sky at night. The access to home comforts, especially the kitchen. The memories will stay with us forever. Thank you Mark and family
