Beautiful setting near the national park. Friendly staff with good coffee at the office. Comfortable beds and clean toilet/shower facilities, although shared and a short walk from the cabin.

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.

This was genuinely the best campsite I’ve ever visited. The cabins were really nice, and the site had a movie room, boardgames, a food truck, sun loungers, and outdoor games for guests. It had everything needed for a few days stay and was right on the Abel Tasman coastal track. Only downside was that they only offer 250mb of wifi for free, and the kitchen can quickly become overcrowded as it seems usual for big tour groups to pass through the site. Really enjoyed the stay though!

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

AMAZING! The Castle was set up beautifully for our family and made us feel very welcome. Unexpected “above and beyond service” with treats, as well as hot water bottles and electric blankets to keep warm at night. Bathrooms, kitchen, and property were clean. There was a storm with pouring rain all night and the canvas tent felt safe, while also keeping everything dry. Would highly recommend staying in their canvas tent overlooking the ocean. It was stunning at sunrise.

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!
