Fabulous location just a short walk to the National Park, cafe, kayak hire & water taxis. Owners are very welcoming, provide a good overview of Marahau, can assist with bookings and have a refreshing, friendly take on household notices. Accommodation was spotless, spacious, comfortable and has a lovely outdoor setting overlooking the garden. Communal kitchen is well equipped and a good spot for meeting other guests. Highly recommend a stay.
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!
What a wonderful property. Immaculate presentation, attention to detail and a beautiful setting. The communal kitchen was great. Very friendly and helpful hosts. Great location close to the national park. I would highly recommend and hope to come back again soon!
We had the most amazing 4 night stay here after travelling around NZ . The accommodation is beautiful, peaceful and of a very high standard . There is a fantastic kitchen which is well stocked for guests to use also laundry facilities which was really useful . Scott and Jocelyn were fab hosts with so much local knowledge about the park and walks . Nothing was too much trouble . We would certainly stay there again if we were in NZ and would highly recommend.
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.
