General Overview
About Us:
We are a couple from New Zealand who own and manage Lodge by the Beach – a boutique luxury retreat in the Abel Tasman region.
We are a calm, non-smoking couple. We don’t host parties and enjoy a quiet lifestyle.
Most of the time we travel just the two of us, but sometimes our 15-year-old son joins us.
We are happy to offer our lodge in exchange — either to a couple or to a family with adult children (please note we cannot accommodate children under 15, as the property is located on a cliff).
Our lodge is located right on the coast with private beach access and panoramic ocean views.
We host guests from all over the world and take pride in creating a relaxing, luxury experience with gourmet dining prepared by our private chef.
I can provide more details in private messages if needed.
We are flexible and open to discussing different options. We’d love to hear from you.

Private path to a large beach, with complimentary kayaks and paddleboards.
Natural spring water throughout the lodge, including every shower and tap.

Where to start: Amazing. Idyllic. Peaceful. Luxurious. Uber comfortable. And the views: just stunning. As are the gardens. As is the private access to a secluded beach, where gently lapping waves soothe and please.
Honestly the pictures, fabulous though they are, simply do not do justice to what is truly a world-class view. We were lucky enough to swap for 10 days and just did not want to leave. The serenity, the facilities, and 4 beautiful ensuite rooms to choose from – the Penthouse Suite where we stayed is truly gorgeous, as are the other three rooms.
The owners, Alan and Luba, are just the nicest people, excellent company and truly hospitable. Excellent communication from start to finish, the car swap worked perfectly and they left our home better than they found it.
We hired Tony, Alan and Luba’s private chef for a couple of nights while we were there. He produced food of the highest calibre, with canapes served al fresco by the firepit (real deal or gas-fired? you decide) with views to die for. Starters, mains and desserts would grace any high end restaurant.
A truly memorable experience, we cannot recommend Alan and Luba highly enough. Their home is truly special, we feel privileged to have been able to swap with them. If you get the chance, grab it with both hands, you won’t regret it.
Alan and Luba left our home spotless, and the garden and pool were perfect too. They even made friends with our neighbours!. We couldn't ask for better.
Keith and Claire’s home in Noosa Springs is truly outstanding.
The house is large, airy, luxurious and beautifully designed – every space feels thoughtful, stylish and incredibly comfortable. The location inside the gated Noosa Springs community is perfect: very safe, peaceful, green, with immaculate gardens and the kindest neighbours. (Please say hello to Gordon from Luba! 😊)
We absolutely loved exploring the whole area – the golf course, the beautiful landscaped surroundings, and even the cosy café just a short walk away. The house has absolutely everything you could wish for during a holiday. It is one of those rare homes where you feel relaxed and “at home” from the very first moment. And of course, the location is exceptional – close to everything that makes Noosa such a special and vibrant place.
Thank you, Keith and Claire, for sharing your incredible home with us. Staying there was a joy and a privilege, and we feel very lucky to have experienced it.
Keith and Claire were outstanding guests.
They treated our home with great care and left everything spotless. It was a joy to welcome them, and we truly enjoyed meeting them in person — we are still in touch today! They were very respectful, easy to communicate with, and wonderful company.
We also exchanged cars during the swap, which worked perfectly and made everything very convenient for both sides.
We warmly recommend Keith and Claire to any future hosts — you will be lucky to have them stay in your home.
