Independent in Motupipi from NZ$80

"A really nice backpackers hostel. The rooms were well put together and warm during the winter. Lots of space in the kitchen and lounge and bathrooms are being renovated. Staff were really helpful and hospitable - I'd stay here again, for sure. One of the most comfortable places I have stayed on my trip through NZ."

"Amazing. We had an amazing time in kimi ora. Staff was helpful and great. "

"Four of us (adults) stayed for a long weekend. The weather was rubbish so stayed a large part of that indoors playing games. The lounge was warm and spacious so it suited us just fine. The place sleeps nine which meant one of the bedrooms, i felt, was a bit cluttered with beds and hard to get around. Overall very happy and would stay again"

"Perfect bach to relax and be fully immersed in nature with the bush, bird songs and tides. I just wish to stay more days next time :-)"

"Really cozy little motel. Super friendly and helpful host. Really comfy bed, good quality toiletries. Unit looks recently renovated and has everything you can possibly need. Easy access to Abel Tasman national park. "

"Great people booked me in and gave me a nice quiet room "

"We had the best experience at Awaroa Lodge Their exceptional hospitality, comfortable rooms, amazing food, and safe and secure environment were fantastic. The location is just a short 3 - 4 minute walk from Awaroa Beach. We will most definitely be returning. It was just lovely"

"So beautiful on the beach a true slice of paradise. "

"I actually tried to up-grade from "the Nest" - glamping to a cabin, but the staff said I should check it out as I might like it - I loved it. It was so inviting, romantic, pretty fairy lights inside and out. Excellent bed. Everything needed for a campfire provided. So cozy. Amazing view of the Pacific and incredible night sky."
