This place looks awesome but sadly appeared to ignore all my efforts to ask about availability. I completed the query form on the website and after waiting for a couple of days, followed up with a phone call. I either got an engaged tone or it rang out to answer phone. I left a message providing both my mobile number... More

We loved this place. Felt like a hotel. We had our own bathroom, which was great. Very clean. Kitchen was big and spotless, but crowded at peak times. Loved the movie room. The grounds were beautiful. it's a bit off the beaten path, but very peaceful and close enough to Abel Tasman and Motueka. One of our favorites!

We stayed her just 1 night. Late check-in was no problem, they left us a key. In the morning, we saw what a beautiful location it was. This lodge has multiple buildings set amidst gardens with a mountain and forest backdrop. Rooms were big, clean, with nice bathrooms. Lisa helped check us out in the morning, and she was simply...

We stayed three nights at Eden's Edge and it was comfortable, clean and well located. Motueka is a 5 minute drive for shops and restaurants, Abel Tasman NP is a quick ride up the road, and there are orchards and farms selling fruit and vegetables just up the road. The lodge is quiet and surrounded by apple orchards where Pukekos... More

Edens Edge is more like a small resort than a backpackers - we couldn't believe it has the same BBH rating as others we stayed at. The place is so clean and well kept and in such a peaceful and lovely setting that we happily spent time just hanging out and recharging before heading off to explore the area. We... More

I can't say enough about how thoughtful and accommodating the Eden's Edge proprietors are -- Chris and Liz are frequently around and about on the property, chatting with guests, laughing, and dispensing travel advice. At the front desk, they sell eggs from their on-site chickens. The property feels like a little oasis with its swimming pool, green lawn, and barbecue... More

This was the second hostel we've ever stayed in. The hosts were wonderful, welcoming and very helpful. We had a double ensuite room and stayed two nights. Our room was plain, no blow dryer, a little skimpy on towels and towel racks, and we had to put our suitcases on the floor, but the room was very clean. The bed... More

We stayed at Eden's Edge for 2 nights, and wished it was for several more. Perhaps it was the congenial mix of guests of different ages and nationalities, perhaps the cheerful, helpful hosts, perhaps the perfect weather and idyllic surroundings. Our group of 6 people ages 12-76 felt totally comfortable. The view of the surrounding countryside with the tall snow... More

After staying in an abundance of backpackers hostels all over New Zealand, my friends and I were never sure what to expect when arriving somewhere new. After arriving in the Abel Tasman area mid-afternoon time we headed to the Information Center who recommended Eden's Edge as a base for the time that we were there. Going by their praises, we... More
