Korepo Lodge is an architecturally designed self-catering accommodation Lodge at the top of the South Island of New Zealand. With its semi-rural surrounds we provide a peaceful quality visitor experience for our guests. Located in Ruby Bay - half way between Nelson and The Abel Tasman National Park, this is the ideal place from which to explore the Nelson and Tasman regions. Mountain biking, sea-kayaking, hiking, wine tasting, art galleries and a variety of other activities are all within easy distance. Guests get exclusive use of Korepo Lodge when they book, so it is the ideal place for small groups or family gatherings. The Lodge can cater for up to 12 guests with six double rooms – all with an ensuite. There is plenty of room with a large open plan living space featuring a lounge, library, casual seating, dining and kitchen. The kitchen opens out onto an expansive covered deck area with barbeque and outdoor seating. The lawn, garden and trees provide the peace and solitude necessary for a relaxing stay. There are plenty of places for one to read, socialise, eat, drink, and enjoy the company of others. Accessible facilities are available if needed.
The Nelson and Tasman regions are internationally known for both their rich arts and cultural scene as well as their natural scenery and landscapes. Korepo Lodge sits in the heart of this with the beach at Ruby Bay a 7 minute walk from the Lodge. Ideal for morning runs or evening walks, here one gets a view across Tasman Bay to Nelson. Cycle trails, mountain and coastal tracks, and outdoor activities such as sea-kayaking, paddle-boarding, skydiving, mountain biking, and golf as well as the many wineries and art galleries give many ways to experience the region. Mapua and it’s Wharf area are a four minute drive from the Lodge. This small colourful coastal community has a selection of essential shops and a garage. It also hosts an interesting collection of boutique shops, art galleries, restaurants, a couple of breweries and a wine bar. The Wharf is a popular local gathering place and always a hive of activity. Fishing and jumping off the wharf are regular local past times. A couple of restaurants are located on the Wharf for that unique dining experience. Public transport is an issue so we recommend that you have your own transport.
