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 (who is homeschooled) 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. 📍 More about us: www.lodgebythebeach.com What We Offer: You are welcome to experience our lodge in two different ways: Option 1 – Simultaneous Exchange (Entire Lodge) You will have the entire lodge exclusively — all four suites, full privacy, direct beach access, and over 500 sq.m. of living space. This option does not include private chef or daily service, but if you wish, you are welcome to book our chef and housekeeping team. Car exchange included: you can use our Tesla Model S (electric), with a Mazda Axela (petrol) available as a backup. Option 2 – Non-Simultaneous Exchange We stay at your home, and at another time you are welcome to stay with us as our guests. You will have your own private suite in our boutique lodge, with everything included for our guests: Gourmet breakfast and a three-course dinner prepared by our private chef (light lunch on request). Daily use of kayaks, paddleboards, spa bath (jacuzzi suite), and direct beach access. New Zealand-made organic bath products, spring water, and personalised service. Car use included (Tesla Model S, with Mazda Axela as backup). Suites & Facilities: We have four unique suites, each offering something different: Oceanview Penthouse Suite – spacious, panoramic ocean views, private terrace, deep bathtub with Epsom salts, retractable TV, king-size bed. Jacuzzi Suite – private outdoor spa bath, scenic bathtub inside, underfloor heating, large deck with sea air, sometimes penguin calls beneath the deck. Cozy Suite – compact, king-size bed, bathtub, partial ocean views, underfloor heating, TV. Fireplace Suite – gas fireplace, super king bed, direct access to main deck & dining, air conditioning. Next Trip: Noosa (Australia) or surrounding area Melbourne (Australia). Travel Interests: At this stage, we are mainly interested in exchanges in Australia (Sunshine Coast and Melbourne) for our next trips. In the future, we are also open to exploring exchanges in other parts of the world, including: Europe, USA, Caribbean – Turks and Caicos, Bahamas (Exumas), Indian Ocean – Mauritius, Seychelles, South Pacific – Fiji (Private Islands) We are flexible and open to discussing different options. We’d love to hear from you.

  • 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.
