Abel Tasman Lodge was a highlight of our trip. I would not hesitate to book again or recommend to others. Scott & Jocelyn were so helpful even before arriving where they advised on walks and activities, they even booked them so our trip to Abel Tasman was seamless when we got there. The lodge itself is beautiful, clean and had everything we needed. 10/10, 5 Stars!
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.
