A fantastic property in a stunning location ! My family and I found this property to be clean and comfortable, and the owners gracious and welcoming .
The hotel is within easy walking distance of walking trails and beaches in Abel Tasman National Park , and is also within easy reach of great dining options in Marahau. Abel Tasman Lodge offers value for money and comfort for any travellers visiting this beautiful corner of NZ!
This was a really nice facility. It catered to all needs and the owners were great from the time we drove up. Let us know about the area and were very helpful at explaining all in the unit. Only issue was the bed, still better than most I have stayed at as I travel for work. I would recommend this to anyone and I would stay there myself again as well placed, quiet and very helpful owners. Made for an excellent holiday.
Great little lodges. Staff/owner super helpful. Very comfortable and well appointed. Breakfast trays and packed lunches very good. Laundry on site, two restaurants in walking distance. Even a hot tub available for booking. A great stopover stay to visit nearby National Park.
Fabulous property, great gardens and views on the sea. Very helpul and friendly staff. Good location to visit the farewell spit area. In short, a real gem, not to be missed!
Everything about the property was unique and well coordinated. Policy on in-room coffee was difficult to understand. Coffees provided only for first day? After that you’re on your own?
Absolutely perfect start to our trip at this extremely homey and peaceful lodge. The owners are SO kind and thoughtful, as well as extremely helpful. Fresh off a long travel to get there, they quickly helped us sort out our missing bags, where to get food and supplies, what activities best met our needs. It was an absolutely seamless stay and truly hard to leave. Can’t wait to go back!!
Truly an oasis of a stay at the door of Abel Tasman. The owners are the sweetest. The chalets are incredibly well appointed with the nicest touches and beautiful patio furniture. The bag lunches and breakfast options were perfect. We didn’t want to leave!
We had a terrific three night stay here. A very friendly welcome from Scott, very comfortable room and fantastic to be only a five minute walk from the park. Excellent eco credentials and very good quality breakfast and picnic lunches. Could not have been better.
