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.

Luxury in nature

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.

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!

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.

The rooms were very clean with all the amenities you need. A continental breakfast was served to your door exactly at the time requested. It did cost extra, but well-worth it. The hot tub was clean and warm, the staff friendly and helpful. They are willing to make dinner reservations, if needed. The park is within feet of the lodge. Wonderful place to stay - we will definitely stay again!!

Beautiful lodge at the entrance of Abel Tasman NP

I loved my stay at the lodge. It had everything I needed and more: a laundry, a spa, a well equipped kitchen, etc. While I was there for a week, I could have easily seen myself stay for another one. The owners are super friendly as well.

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!!
