We stayed at the Beach Bach and it had the most amazing views! The cabin was spacious and very well designed- loved the log burner in the middle of the living area and the fire pit outside. Great kitchen too! Had a truly amazing stay and left with great memories of a beautiful place

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.

I actually tried to up-grade from "the Nest" - glamping to a cabin, but the staff said I should check it out as I might like it - I loved it. It was so inviting, romantic, pretty fairy lights inside and out. Excellent bed. Everything needed for a campfire provided. So cozy. Amazing view of the Pacific and incredible night sky.

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.

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.
