“Little oasis in the bush, very peaceful.”
Little oasis on the track. Great location with bush setting but close to beach. Rooms good size, deck and seating excellent plus coffee maker, bathrooms a little tired but worked! Staff very helpful.

“Nature paradise”
The place was stunningly beautiful and quiet with nature all around. Room was comfortable and lots of space, massage inside the facility was excellent- it was a Japanese masseuse- he was really skillful and was a great relax after a lot hiking around.

“Wonderful spot for a quick getaway.”
Awaroa is a beautiful location. Amazing beach and the lodge is set back in the bush. The rooms are private and well laid out. Great service by the staff, friendly and helpful. Dining experience was on the whole good. Good size portions and beautifully presented.

“Perfect location for exploring the Abel Tasman Trail.”
The lodge is perfectly location in the Abel Tasman Park surrounded by vegetation and a short walk to a great beach. Food good and reception staff very helpful in sorting out our needs, with help with walking tips and inlet crossing times.
