Nelson South Holidays from AU$883

Great beach view, clean, spacious. It was a great place to visit

We had an incredible stay at the Jacuzzi Suite! The room was beautiful, set in a stunning house with breathtaking views over the rocky headlands and beach. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Valeriy, the host and chef, who is not only a lovely person but also an exceptionally talented cook. Having both breakfast and dinner included was a huge plus, especially since there aren’t many restaurants nearby. Every meal was delicious and carefully prepared, making our stay feel even more special. We also enjoyed the company of other guests and were fortunate to meet the owners, Alan and Luba, on our last night. They were incredibly hospitable and wonderful company, adding to the warm and welcoming atmosphere of the home. If you're looking for a peaceful, scenic getaway with fantastic food and great hospitality, this is the perfect place. Highly recommend!

Lodge by the Beach was one of the most memorable lodgings we’ve ever stayed in. Designed and built by the architect-owner, Alan with industrial grade materials for safety and various art pieces brought in from overseas, the property is truly amazing. Perched atop a hill near the Split Apple Rock with breathtaking views of the ocean and lush forests, it even offers the private access to a secluded, pristine beach, which made our stay feel like a true escape from the world. The culinary offerings were also exceptional. Each morning started with a delicious breakfast prepared by the guest chef and barista style coffee/tea & drinks. In the evening, our four-course dinner was prepared by the Michelin recognized private chef, Tony Robson- Burrell and each dish was a celebration of local flavors with Asian flare. While the views and the building are spectacular, what truly sets this lodging apart is the soul of the place. The hosts, Alan & Luba and the chef, Tony are some of the kindest, most hospitable people we’ve met. They treated us like family, anticipating every need (such as remembering our favorite morning coffee and teas) and ensuring every tiny detail was perfect. They went out of their ways to accommodate every request with level of sincerity and it can only come from people who truly love what they do. This property is a rare find where the architecture is as breathtaking as the landscape, and the people are as memorable as the views.
