Our location - Upper Moutere
We are a little off the beaten track, away from the busy and crowded
tourist centres but still near and central to the attractions of the
Nelson-Tasman area. It's ideal for all who like spending several days in the
Nelson region, going on day trips, a must for wine and country lovers, a base
for trampers or fishermen and for visitors to the Abel Tasman National Park.
A place of people for people
Shortly after your arrival you will notice how easy it is to relax,
wind down and be yourself in our B&B. The Gingerbread House is a home of
people for people. There is nothing artificial, museum-like or put on about the
place or the people in it. All ages, nationalities and backgrounds enjoy being
in our cosy and homely family home with its warm, natural and welcoming
atmosphere. The Gingerbread House is a place where people live, work, share,
laugh, talk, enjoy good food and company and do professional hosting at the
same time. A house of outstanding charm and character, with many little details
of beauty and care.
We are family-friendly and welcome children
We have plenty of indoor and outdoor space, toys and books, cot, extra
mattress or bedding, night light and toilet seat. We know the needs of parents
and their little ones and can give you ideas on what to do and where to go.
Options and services to suit your needs
Special here is your choice of accommodation. The eco-friendly Casa
Lucia is a separate, self-contained Cottage ideal for all who love privacy and
self-catering. Ideal for a longer stay or a romantic get away, as well as for a
retreat.
The Gingerbread House B&B is ideal for all who like the homely family
atmosphere and contact to your host, as well as for small groups or families
who need two bedrooms or a twin bedroom. It is great for a stay from 1 to 5
nights.
Do you need an early breakfast, a booking for a restaurant, info about the
local area, another pillow? As a small business we are capable to offer a very
personal service and a high professional standard.
Breakfast and special diets / Organics /
Environmentally friendly
We bake all our bread in the oven at home using organic flour. Many of
our products are home grown and/or organic. We can cater for vegans, wheat,
gluten and dairy free or other special diets, if you inform us about your needs
when you book. We use environmentally friendly products, recycle and compost
our waste and care for the land. The 7 acre property and gardens are totally
organic and the Cottage is eco-friendly (no carpets). We can offer you fresh
herbs from our garden and during the harvest season fresh fruit.
Raclette evening meals
We are happy to offer Raclette evening meals (needs a minimum of 4
people). Raclette is a traditional Swiss or French cheese (cows milk) dish
served with steamed potatoes and pickled vegetables. At the dinner table it is
very much a social occasion, every person prepares the cheese on a special oven
tray in a Raclette-table grill. Price $ 30.00 per person - for 4 people, a
bottle of local wine is included. Pre-booking required.
Travel confidence booster for first time
individual NZ travelers
You are very young or more mature? You are for the first time
overseas? You travel for the first time on your own? You feel unsure about your
English language knowledge or driving on NZ roads? Why not use our "Casa Lucia"
as a base to start your NZ-tour from. We can support you to feel more
self-confident and safer about your individual NZ-tour. We can help with
arranging suitable accommodation and planning a travel itinerary and in the
meanwhile you have got time to adjust to the new environment, time to explore
the Nelson area and to overcome your jet-lag. If you wish, we can help you
brush up your basic travel English or driving confidence. We speak German and
English. If you have any special needs we may very well be able to help -
please advise us when booking. This service is based on an hourly rate of $NZ
