"Wow! That's what we thought when driving up the lovely drive toward Ruby Bay Lodge. An amazing location - so serene! We couldn't have wished for a better start to our honeymoon, certainly a place we won't forget in a very long time. Thank you so much Andy and Ivy - the wine, breakfasts and all the other niceties were more than we could've wished for. Not bad weather either!" M & K, New Zealand.

"Thank you for our wonderful stay here. The weather in Mapua/Nelson has been warm and inviting, and Andy and Ivy have personalities to match. Our breakfasts each morning and treats each evening were delightful. We will undoubtedly return to the US and long for blueberry pancakes and fresh apple juice. Had memorable adventures in Golden Bay and Abel Tasman, always with a cool glass of Sauvignon Blanc and delicious snacks waiting for us on our return. Thank you for making our time here at Ruby Bay so relaxing and unforgettable." J & A, Arizona, USA.
