We had a wonderful stay at Abel Tasman Lodge. Owners very helpful: giving suggestions on things to do, arranging tours/guides and offering restaurants. The facility is absolutely lovely with in each room and what is offered on the grounds.
The rooms were very clean with all the amenities you need. A continental breakfast was served to your door exactly at the time requested. It did cost extra, but well-worth it. The hot tub was clean and warm, the staff friendly and helpful. They are willing to make dinner reservations, if needed. The park is within feet of the lodge. Wonderful place to stay - we will definitely stay again!!
I loved my stay at the lodge. It had everything I needed and more: a laundry, a spa, a well equipped kitchen, etc.
While I was there for a week, I could have easily seen myself stay for another one.
The owners are super friendly as well.
A fantastic property in a stunning location ! My family and I found this property to be clean and comfortable, and the owners gracious and welcoming .
The hotel is within easy walking distance of walking trails and beaches in Abel Tasman National Park , and is also within easy reach of great dining options in Marahau. Abel Tasman Lodge offers value for money and comfort for any travellers visiting this beautiful corner of NZ!
This was a really nice facility. It catered to all needs and the owners were great from the time we drove up. Let us know about the area and were very helpful at explaining all in the unit. Only issue was the bed, still better than most I have stayed at as I travel for work. I would recommend this to anyone and I would stay there myself again as well placed, quiet and very helpful owners. Made for an excellent holiday.
Great little lodges. Staff/owner super helpful. Very comfortable and well appointed. Breakfast trays and packed lunches very good. Laundry on site, two restaurants in walking distance. Even a hot tub available for booking. A great stopover stay to visit nearby National Park.
Fabulous property, great gardens and views on the sea. Very helpul and friendly staff. Good location to visit the farewell spit area. In short, a real gem, not to be missed!
Everything about the property was unique and well coordinated. Policy on in-room coffee was difficult to understand. Coffees provided only for first day? After that you’re on your own?
Absolutely perfect start to our trip at this extremely homey and peaceful lodge. The owners are SO kind and thoughtful, as well as extremely helpful. Fresh off a long travel to get there, they quickly helped us sort out our missing bags, where to get food and supplies, what activities best met our needs. It was an absolutely seamless stay and truly hard to leave. Can’t wait to go back!!
Truly an oasis of a stay at the door of Abel Tasman. The owners are the sweetest. The chalets are incredibly well appointed with the nicest touches and beautiful patio furniture. The bag lunches and breakfast options were perfect. We didn’t want to leave!
We had a terrific three night stay here. A very friendly welcome from Scott, very comfortable room and fantastic to be only a five minute walk from the park. Excellent eco credentials and very good quality breakfast and picnic lunches. Could not have been better.
Fantastic location. Very quiet. Easy walking distance to Abel Tasman track and shops etc. A great shared kitchen facilities for guests staying in a studio units.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Loved it. Great accommodation. Very peaceful location
Abel Tasman lodge is fabulous and spotless. Also good value for money as such high quality accommodation. And the owners / managers Scott and Jocelyn couldn’t be more helpful. Highly recommended. Cooking and laundry facilitators and massage room all added bonuses If I ever go back to Abel Tasman I will look no further than Abel Tasman lodge.
Great little hotel, would definitely stay again! Very clean and comfortable, staff were great. Was an easy walk into Abel Tasman and a short drive to Kaiteriteri to get the boat to Abel Tasman too.
Great facilities, hosts were very hospitable and helpful throughout our stay. The room/ lodge was very clean and well equipped (there were even screens on windows to keep the bugs out!) kitchen and laundry were easy to use as well.
This place is amazing, we liked it so much that we changed our plans to stay another night.
We are hiking in the national park and this is the perfect place to stay. Laundry room and common kitchen helps for longer stays but we are more just enjoying the beautiful private back patio and great room
