Beautiful lodge within the Abel Tasman National Park. There are no roads here, so you need to arrange for a water taxi or hike a long distance. We stayed in a lovely room set among the trees. The room was clean and comfortable. The rooms are close to the main lodge for meals and there is a nice lounge area there as well. We enjoyed dinner and breakfast there, and the food was very good. All of the staff we interacted with were warm & helpful. We walked the Coastal Track in the afternoon, which has nice views of the coastline and ends at the beach. Reservations are hard to get, so book early! All of this is a little pricey, but in our opinion, completely worth being in the midst of such an amazing venue.

Nothing

Location was beautiful and service was great. Josh’s kayaking tour was fantastic. Love the walks from the lodge. Nothing was any trouble for the staff.

The dining room and sitting areas in the main lodge were freezing. The first night we were there none of the fires were lit and most guests were wearing big coats at dinner. The second night I’ve fire was lit but that only benefitted the lucky few who were able to sit near it. The same for breakfast.

Overall, we liked the property, and its loction within the national park. There are nicer beaches around the area, but the buildings and layout were very nice. Unfortunately, our attempt to find glow worms was unsuccessful, but it is a cool feature. AirCon was useful and appreciated. Restaurant has a nice setting, with entirely friendly staff.

The hotel was high quality, lovely linens, excellent restaurant, very accommodating staff. It was located in the wild and it took us time to figure out how to get there but once there…we were very happy. The deck was a little dirty and there was a wasp nest but the staff took care of it right away.

Communal indoor and outdoor areas are really good, with a good range of board games available to use. Our room had a raised sleeping area and a nice lower section with a sofa. Spacious. Shower was well equipped with lots of hot water. Spectacular location, and being met off the water taxi is really cool!

Food was on the premium end of pricing, and the furniture on our terrace could have done with replacing as the chairs were slightly broken.

We LOVED the location, proximity to trails and beach, the bed and pillows were divine, dark and quiet room allowed us to sleep well, surprisingly-delicious meal options, excellent friendly service personnel, peace and serenity!

A few more menu options might have been nice as well as a longer opening for the guest common area.

We loved our 2 night stay at Awaroa Lodge. It's a special place in a gorgeous location. For a hotel remotely located in the middle of a national park, the team there is doing an outstanding job. Our room was spacious, with a very nice seating area. Much more contemporary and updated than I was expecting. The food was consistently excellent at all meals (way, way better than you might expect in this kind of location). The guests were a fun bunch - we met and had interesting conversations with many. But best of all was the incredible hiking you can do from there up and down the coast. (we used a water taxi and the Seashuttle for dropoffs).

nothing comes to mind

The location and the restaurant staff were great. Room could have been more comfy and view could have been better. Otherwise overall was fine.

The shower flooding into the whole bathroom

Amazing location and good atmosphere.

The food, although very good, was very expensive. Once you are at the lodge, you are a captive audience, with no other place to eat or drink so obliged to spend an awful lot. Also, there was no hot water one morning due to the gas being changed over. No warning this might happen and little apology given for the cold showers we had as a result.

it was so lovely to find the lodge after 7hours of walking. We ate at the restaurant at night time and the food was delicious, good and efficient service. The surroundings ate exeptional The beds are confortable, it's quiet.

to get to the lodge at low tide it was poorly indicated, we got lost and fi aly saw a sign which needs renewing as the writting has gone faint from bring old.
