The host was so welcoming and even made up a small cottage for us to stay in, as they were fully booked for our first night. It's a great place to stay if you're wanting to explore the Tasman/Golden Bay region. Pizza night was cool too - just bring your topping and have it cooked in the pizza oven outside. Fantastic! We had all we needed and the ambience of all the Tui outside was awesome. Great place - highly recommend!

Just ideal for our purpose. A great base for the event in several surrounding districts.

The town is simple and clean, I came for a spiritual class and it's on a retreat centre up the mountain .. might be it's now getting into winter , there's not a lot of tourists around and make it easy to drive around and visit places.. the weather was good ( not windy so it's good to hv a walk on the beach in the late afternoon..

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.
Our stay was made so relaxing by the nature of the cabins and amenities, and the most easy going and friendly host you could hope to meet. It's a bit like camping but with walls and a bit more comfort and convenience, which just makes it so easy to enjoy. The wood fired pizza oven is also a sure fire hit for socialising should you want to. The setting is idyllic perfection with so many native birds including kea, tui and piwakawaka. Only 10 minutes from arguably the best beach in the South Island.
The accommodation was fine, beds comfortable and the TVetc all worked well. There are clearly some issues of repair that need to be done I.e. large cracks on the walls and areas of ceiling sag which show age and historical damage. It is single glazed and does get a lot of condensation (we stayed in mid October so that isn't unexpected) so a dehumidifier is not a bad plan if you plan to stay for a while.
Proximity to the beach, a local dairy (corner shop) and cafe/bar restaurant were great.
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.
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.
Christine and Zahid were amazing hosts. Super friendly and accomodating. Our room was very comfortable. The meals were delicious and of the highest standard. Location was so good just across from the beach and only short distance to travel to everything we wanted to see. Laundry service available. We enjoyed the spa at the end of each day. Such a relaxing stay.
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.
This property is in an amazing location. Very close to Pokhara, while being right at the beach. The access to cafes and restaurants is terrific with the added bonus of being near some lovely walking areas.
The property was wonderfully stocked with lots of kitchen utensils etc, perfect for a family get together.
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.
We have always loved Pohara, so were happy to get somewhere to stay - a little last minute. Easy walking to bars, shop etc 10 mins. Beach 2 mins. Obviously quite new, so some privacy with plantings have not established but will with time and will be very nice.
High above Pohara provides expansive views. Even got to hear and see kea overhead! Spacious and comfortable unit. Easy access to Takaka and beyond including Abel Tasman NP. Shelly was an excellent and informative host.
