We stayed four nights in one of the king cabins and had a fantastic stay. The cabin was better than some hotel rooms - had lovely furnishings, air con and the bathroom was superb. The site is also right on the doorstep of the national park. Would recommend to anyone wanting to spend a few nights in the area.

The Beach Bach was amazing! We stayed gor 2 nights in the gorgeous Beach Bach and enjoyed every second. The house is very private with a fantasic garden. We didn't use any of the patk facilities as we had everything we needed. The animals were an added bonus!

Our "Nest" tent was beautiful and clean with wonderful amenities like fresh towels, heater/fan, throw blankets and even, marshmellows! The weather didn't allow us to use the fire pit outside but that looked inviting. The location was amazing for hiking the Abel Tasman Track or enjoying a beer and wood-fired pizza at Park Cafe down the street. Community kitchen had all the supplies we needed.

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.
