Absolutely loved our stay at Abel Tasman Lodge! Our One Bedroom Chalet was rustic yet exceptionally well equipped, roomy, and comfortable! The Lodge had BBQ grills and a shared kitchen available, self service laundry, and a hot tub, all of which we used. Knowing we would have a small kitchen, we packed a cooler full and cooked several meals in our unit. Got to meet the previous owner, Scott, who was super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Also met the new owner, and sadly, I didn’t get the same welcoming vibe.
The National Park was only minutes away, and we took our first “water taxis”! Just a gorgeous area with hikes of all levels and spectacular beaches, my only regret was not being able to stay longer. Highly recommend and we hope to get back again!
