Our friends booked this lodge for us, so we didn't know what to expect. Our whole group was so impressed, and so were the judgemental children! We had air con in both the bedrooms AND the lounge. They have thought of absolutely everything. LOVED coming back to the room and our beds were made, what a treat! The grounds are fab, endless outdoor games, spa, space! The communal kitchen (which we didn't need due to our our place having cooking facilities) was cool, a great hang out with absolutely everything you need, BBQs etc... Its really clean and the attention to detail is really neat. Obviously every good place has great friendly hosts running it, so helpful and friendly. Awesome location right at the start of the park. Close to the cafe, park and sea. Will definitely go back, or recommend to anyone going down that way. Thanks so much to the owners of the Abel Tasman Lodge!
