Independent in Takaka Hill from NZ$81

"We loved our stay in a spacious room with gorgeous views. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was delicious (especially the chia pudding which was new to me). The facilities like the pool and spa are lovely. Highly recommend!"

"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."

"Seriously amazing place such a hidden gem we enjoyed our stay so much we will definitely be back in the summer the locals are so lovely the history of the house is wonderful to look at such a beautiful whanau thank you for sharing your slice of heaven with us the kids loved it we all did "

"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"

"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"

"My sister and two nieces stayed from Auckland. It was a wonderful break with treasured family. We only used the hot tub once as we were so busy. Highly recommend."

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