About this property

Kea Ridge Lodge, Epic Stargazing, views and spa pool

Kea Ridge is 28 hectares of private land nestled in native bush. Enjoy 360 degree views towards the sea and the bush with abundant native bird song. Just 20 min to Kaiteriteri, Abel Tasman NP, Motueka and 40 min to Takaka Golden Bay. 3 Full bedrooms and 2 bathrooms can easily accomodate large groups. The all day sun streams into the open-plan living with pool table, dining, & kitchen area. After a long day adventuring soak in the spa.

The fully insulated 2-storey Macrocarpa clad lodge is 240 square meters and north facing. The lodge is perched on the end of the ridge like it is floating above the valley below. The entire upper floor is the open-plan kitchen, dining and living areas and consists of 120 square meters. Windows wrapping all around let the sun stream in while you enjoy a friendly game of pool. The full wrap around upper and lower decks mean you can enjoy the view in any direction at any time. The lower deck is covered for all weather situations.

The kitchen area has natural timber bench tops throughout, driftwood handles, and plenty of space for 4 to 6 people to comfortably cook up a storm and still be part of the action. Fully kitted out with brand new eco appliances: coffee machine, fridge/freezer/full size oven, gas hob, dishwasher, air fryer, food processor, blender, toaster, griller, and UV water filtration system. Enjoy your feast at the massive family-crafted macrocarpa dining table or the kitchen breakfast bar area.

Downstairs are 3 full size bedrooms with new king size beds. One of the bedrooms has a king size bed with direct access to the outdoor patio spa area and one of the bathrooms. The two other bedrooms have king size beds and single bunk beds. Electric blankets on all king size beds and lots of cosy blankets. Two full size tiled bathrooms with toilets, bath, shower, and vanities. Washer and dryer also available.
The wood burning fireplace is downstairs and adequately heats the entire lodge. Ample firewood is provided.

Atmospheric Kea Ridge
This magic property was perfect for our family group of eleven, ages ranging from 2 1/2 to 79. The spacious and well equipped open-plan living, dining, kitchen area and generous decks meant we could all be together or spread out as needed. Sleeping and ablution quarters downstairs worked perfectly.Host, Mark, communicated well and was exceedingly helpful. The position of Kea Ridge Lodge is spectacular and we all felt relaxed and rejuvenated from our time on the hillside.Our sincere thanks - we're very fortunate to have found this special place.
