This is a beautiful place. The hosts are wonderful and have great suggestions of what to do in the area and can help with booking. Much quieter area and a short walk to the entrance of Able Tasman National Park. We stayed in a one bedroom chalet and it was very spacious. Everything detail has been thought of. They have access to a private beach across the road. Not crowded and lovely.
Lovely accommodation right on the edge of the National Park. The apartments are very modern, spacious and clean and you can easily prepare evening meals if you wish. There are restaurants in the village of Marahau although we did not check them out. Lovely hosts who will make sure you have a comfortable stay. Good facilities on site too if you need them. This is a perfect place to stay if you want to visit the National Park which I would say is a must! Take the water taxis and explore the stunning coastline on foot or by kayak. A magical place.
Third time staying and booked again. Our happy place. Love the rooms, every little detail has been well thought out. Scott and Jocelyn so helpful and friendly. Location top notch. Great area to explore in so much comfort. Our look forward to holiday every year.🥰
We would highly recommend this terrific lodge to anyone visiting this lovely, tranquil area. The owners are extremely helpful and welcoming and the facilities provided within the rooms are exemplary. The furniture, decor, housekeeping and air con are great as are the small touches - lovely coffee for cafetière, use of drying green and detailed written guidance on options to travel to Picton, including recommendations for places to eat. We were sorry to leave.
We stayed in a one bedroom chalet with a lovely, large, private seating area outside which got the evening sun. The kitchenette was suitable for cooking snacks and light meals and was very well equipped.
Abel Tasman Lodge is located close to the National Park tracks, water taxis, kayaks and 2 good restaurants /bars, the Park Cafe and Hooked. We were able to spend 3 days walking, swimming and eating out without using the car.
Scott and Jocelyn were great hosts offering advice on what to do during our stay, booking our water taxis and even how to get the most out of our journey to our next location.
This was one of our favourite stops on our 5 week journey through New Zealand. We would highly recommend.
