A great base to stay if you're exploring the Abel Tasman. Really easy to book available excursions directly at reception which was great. Staff were super friendly and helpful. We had a standard qeen cabin which although small, was completely manageable for a couple of nights. Plenty of shared outside facilities which were well maintained by staff and looked after by other guests.

the location is good for someone like to do hiking because it is right next to the entrance of Abel Tasman National Park coast trail. It brought back my memory when I was 17 years old jointing the Youth Hostel and camping with my friends.

Dome tent was great, the amenities including firewood, marshmallows, hot water bottles and toiletries was a lovely touch.
Reception helpfully got me onto a water taxi last minute that was about to leave.

Wir haben eine der Cabins mit eigenem Badezimmer gebucht. Moderne Cabin mit viel Liebe zu Details und umfangreicher Ausstattung. Alles was fehlt kann man direkt vor Ort beim Staff auch Nachfragen.. Man hat einen direkten Blick auf den Nationalpark und ist umgeben von Kuhweiden. Es war eine der schönsten Unterkünfte auf unserer Neuseeland-Rundreise.
