Wow! Abel Tasman Lodge is one of the nicest places we've stayed in. Scott & Jocelyn can't do enough for you, always on hand for help/advice on everything and will book any activities you want. We've just spent 4 nights there and can honestly say we didn't want to leave. Scott & Jocelyn have got it so right! We stayed in a studio lodge which was perfect for us, plenty of room and cupboard space and immaculately clean! We loved the outdoor seating area as well: a great place to chill out after a day's walking/kayaking etc.
We also loved having the use of the communal kitchen, which is kept spotless and is really well equipped. It's also a great place to meet and chat with other guests.
We also loved the location in Marahau; perfect for getting into the park and the water taxis and kayak hire are right on your doorstep. There's also the Park cafe/bar/restaurant and Hooked cafe/bar/restaurant within walking distance and we can't not mention The Fat Tui if you want a great burger or fish & chips! All in all Abel Tasman Lodge gets 10 from us!
