Clean and comfortable hotel with good access to Abel Tasman National Park. Not that many dining options in town so best to eat in Nelson before checking in. But solid choice for a hotel in this town

Prompt and extensive assistance with our day plan of visiting Abel Tasman National Park and taxi advice and assistance on our day of departure. Congeniality top notch.
JACQUELINE, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

New owners have freshened everything - very charming and responsive - area a bit noisy on main street, but the trade-off is being close to dining. The fried chicken burger at Smokin' Barrel is amazing!

3-night trip

8/10 Very good

We had a lovely stay, the owners couldn’t do enough to help, we booked for a second night and they rejigged things so that we could stay in our room. It’s on the state highway but the noise wasn’t noticeable at night.
Bradley, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very convenient to Kaiteriteri and Abel Tasmin ( 15 min drive). Much closer than Nelson and nice small town. Great restaurants nearby and the owner was very kind. Great value!
SUE, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room and property were pristinely clean and conveniently located near restaurants. The owners were sweet as could be. Would highly recommend!
Robyn, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very friendly and helpful - amended our stay length, sorted a couple of minor problems and the cleaning staff were amazing. The suite was spacious and comfortable, we loved the spa bath - there was loads of hot water. The Lodge is ideally situated for walking into town, there is a big supermarket just down the road (3 mins walk) and there are some lovely walks, all waymarked, around the estuary and the inlet. We will be back!
