Reviews of Abel Tasman Lodge 4 stars

The location is perfect to have easy access to the Abel Tasman Park. We stayed in the big yellow room Kowhai and loved it. If you travel in a large group, the room can also serve as a great meeting points for snacks, breakfast and games!

All perfect

Lovely surrounds, very friendly staff, good facilities overall, just didn't realize kitchen was out of room, but the shared kitchen was well stocked and suitable for cooking in the way it was laid out. Otherwise room was lovely and very comfortable.

High standard accomodation. Loved the spa

We chose this lodge for its location near the Able Tasman National Park. It is perfectly set up for any travellers wishing to enjoy the region. Our room was modern, spacious and comfortable, with a large and cosy bed, looking out over the attractive gardens. The bathroom was well designed and the shower hot and strong. We loved being able to cook our dinners in the well appointed guest kitchen and eating quietly on our little deck. Some travellers might appreciate the guest laundry and shoe cleaning area. Our host was friendly and informative and we particularly appreciated that she notified us in advance of changes in the area.

Fabulous location, accommodation and amenities. My favourite in NZ so far

A longer stay 😊

Decor, location and staff were amazing.

Very comfortable room, super clean, very friendly staff and excellent location. Opposite beach, entrance to National Park, 2 really good places to eat and drink within 10 mins walk. We loved our stay

Atmosphere of peace and nature especially the friendly Pukekos who said hello each day

Neighbours shower was noisy and they started early

This accommodation was an excellent base for hiking the Abel Tasman Track. The hosts arranged our water taxis so we could walk a couple of sections of the track during our stay and this worked out perfectly. They also provided us with a tasty packed lunch for our walks. Breakfast could also be provided if required. The room we stayed in was lovely and had all required facilities. Laundry and ironing was available in a separate room and a large clothes airer was available in each room that could be put in the garden or on your terrace. Marahau is a lovely little town with a couple of excellent restaurants. My personal preference was Hooked.

This place was great. It was spotlessly clean with great customer service and facilities - in much the way you’d expect of a large expensive hotel - but was totally unpretentious and had all the charm of a low-key, out-of-the-way lodge. Really hard to fault. I think we were lucky in that our two-bed chalet had a beautiful view of the mountains and horses out back. V comfortable beds, and great daily room servicing. Tina was lovely and available any time we needed anything at all. Good kitchen facilities are important to me as I have restrictive dietary needs, and although the kitchen facilities in the room are relatively limited and we struggled to get the hob to work (fridge, toaster, combi microwave/oven and kettle v useful though), the big kitchen was supremely well kitted out (two ovens/hobs, an air fryer, and even communal food like cooking oil, seasoning, even some pasta etc), so it was easy for me to cook my own food. The jacuzzi was a treat, easy to book our 30-min slot (though no one was booked after us so we stayed an hour) and it feels really private, quiet and separate from the other rooms. Staring up at the milky way in the jacuzzi was pretty magical! Location was perfect, equidistant from “town” (ie a nice waterfront cafe and the general store/ kayak pick-up location), and from the entrance to the national park. This made it ideal for us, as I walked/ran on the trail most days, but also went out on a tour and wanted easy access to the shop. There aren’t many hotels in Marahau (there are more in Kaiteriteri) but I’m so glad we stayed here in Marahau. Felt more remote with easy national park access, but still quality, comfortable, and all the facilities needed. Lastly, the beautiful gift shop in the hotel reception was brilliant for buying a few unique and nice quality souvenirs.

Struggled to get the hob in the room to work - but that is literally the only issue I can think of, and it didn’t matter because there are hobs in the shared kitchen.

Beautiful in every way! The room was very comfortable and in a great location, highly recommended!

Great location. Our suite was very comfortable and very well-organized. Immaculately clean. Very friendly staff.

Fabulous location, beautifully appointed & spotlessly clean. Spa an added bonus after a long day hiking. Would rate 💯

The water taxi and kayak outfit is only 5 minutes by walking. It is located just 15 minutes to start the Able Tasman Walking Track. Our room was large and had a private deck by the gardens. There is a large shared kitchen and laundry machines on site.

It would have been nice to have more information about the surroundings from the staff as I couldn't understand the names of the towns nearby or beaches. You need a car to be in this area.

Perfect spot to explore Abel Tasman! We stayed here for 2 nights and loved it. The room and bed were super comfortable. Everything was clean and welcoming. The room was equipped with everything we needed. Breakfast on the patio was great. We were able to do laundry while there, too, which was a nice bonus. The owner was a very nice lady, quite helpful. Highly recommend and would love to stay here again one day!

Nothing at all, everything was great.

It had a good vibe and they ensure there are instructions for everything. Provided extra towels for out door activity as well. Nice beach feel.

Nothing. Perfect

When the host has thought of everything.... Great stay! Would give an extra point for baby crib, diaper bin, high chair (with carpet pad!) if possible.
