Beautiful tranquil  location.  Very nice staff who were flexible and willing. There was a lack of options for vegetarians however, meaning we are the same thing for dinner 3 nights in a row and had the same packed lunch 3 days in a row. A lot of things not available due to being the end of the season.

Beautiful location limited food options

Stayed two nights here during our honeymoon. It is a truly incredible setting, accessible only by water, then a short walk. Staff at the lodge transport guests luggage from the beach using a quad bike/beach buggy.
We checked in with a lovely English girl at reception, whose name we completely forgot to ask! She was very personable and knowledgeable on the area, providing recommendations and guidance on what we could do during our stay there. Including feeding the eels in the wetlands, seeing the glowworms and the local walking/hiking options.
We stayed in a superior suite. The room itself overlooked the wetlands and surrounding hills, it had a large decked balcony which was very tranquil.
The restaurant has a good number of beers and wines on option and the gourmet food was nicely presented and tasted delicious, and there was a good variety so we were both able to try different dishes each night, this also applied to breakfast and lunch. Unfortunately whilst we were there due to the season, the outdoor pizzeria was closed.


Unique location

Great place to stay.
Young receptionist helped us a lot with our lost luggage transport.
Dinner was delicious and the hikers lunch was amazing.
Friendly staff up for a chat and did everything to make our experience rememberable 
Beautiful  beach out the front of the lodge.

Great stay

The most depressing experience during our entire one month New Zealand trip. Staff was noisy and blunt, the place attracts loads of day-hikers and backpackers and has zero atmosphere. The rooms are outdated, tired, and poorly maintained (and not even cleaned properly). Don't bother booking a suite, when checking in we were told there are no suites, just rooms (and if you don't like it go talk to your agent). Our experience was so poor that we left after the first night. There must be better ways to visit Abel Tasman National Park. Life is too short to stay in places like this.

Our single worst experience during our entire one-month trip through New Zealand.

We had the most wonderful time visiting the lodge towards the end of our trek. We were kindly allowed to check in early as the room was ready, which was really appreciated. 
We ate lunch, dinner and breakfast at the lodge, all meals were delightful and the staff were really friendly. We even believe that our evening meal was some of the best food we had on our whole trip, so thank you! This is a gem of a place, in a secluded and magical location. We would not hesitate to recommend.

A wonderful stay in a beautiful location

The Lodge is the perfect place to stay when walking the Abel Tasman track.  Our room was clean with a large bathroom, comfortable bed, a sitting area and a private balcony. 

Food in the restaurant was amazing.  Both my partner and I really enjoyed our meals- so delicious. 

Service provided by all the staff was excellent.  Everyone was friendly and helpful

Beautiful room, delicious food and friendly staff

I am not use to traveling on my own but I felt very much at ease here and very comfortable to be alone.  The staff were so helpful and the room clean, spacious and had everything I needed.  I was very happy with the selection on the menu and the wines were superb.  A place to be alone, but not alone !

A great place to be alone, but not alone !

We arrived by water taxi, this alone made for a worthwhile experience. The captain of the boat was funny, well informed and great company. The porter met us on beach took our luggage to the room with his quad bike and trailer, we walked down beach which we enjoyed.  We got checked into a really nice room overlooking the wetlands. Peaceful well appointed room with balcony and spotlessly clean with air conditioning/heating. Staff more than helpful under the supervision of Nick the manager, couldn’t be more helpful. Dinner was excellent and the chef and staff need special praise as they had only just arrived for the season, commented this was their third day !
Very accommodating and a special place to visit, there was nothing negative to say about our stay. Even the weather didn’t spoil this wonderful place. Thank you all

Wonderful experience 

We spent two nights here to visit Abel Tasman National Park.  The trip in and out on the ferry provides a narrated tour of the Park along the way.  Be aware to plan your arrival in Kaiteriteri in the morning; the last ferry to the lodge leaves at 12:40 pm and you cannot drive there.  We had a package that included a guided sea kayaking tour, but that can also be booked separately.  The kayaking was well run and included sightings of fur seals and a variety of birds.  Avoid buying the lodge's 3-course dinner package; you may well end up spending more than you would to purchase the same items a la cart.  Our Superior Room was spacious but somewhat oddly configured with a step or two down from the bedroom to the living space and then back up again to the bathroom.

Nice lodge, very good kayaking, avoid dinner package

Great place to eat while in the middle of the Abel Tasman great walk. Would recommended visiting this before heading to the Awaroa Doc hut. Didn't stay at the Lodges but only stopped by god food. It was a nice treat after having to eat packet meals during the trek.
