We found the lodge to be in a nice area and the room itself comfortable. However, don't misstep or the owner/manager will chastise you. The shower in the unit itself is marginal - I believe the owner/manager has installed major flow restrictors. Also, they do have a washer/dryer available at a charge, but you can only use cold water.

We spent a whole week at Marahau Lodge. My wife and I were traveling with our 21 months old son. The owner was very welcoming and asked us every day if we had everything we needed and if we required any assistence with booking trips. He put us in a room at the end of the lodge's grounds, so we... more

We stayed one night here to explore the national park. The lodge is clean, large and comfortable but not luxurious. It is in an ideal location with a wonderful cafe in the village. This was a surprise as the food there was unexpectedly excellent. We had a basic breakfast delivered at a time to suit our early start then went... more

We had one night here before heading into the National Park. Robyn and Don were such fabulous hosts - booking was simple and easy, and Robyn and Don were so helpful in telling us what to do and where to go in the area. The lodge itself is pleasant - lovely grounds, clean and tidy. The bed was VERY comfortable.... more

We stayed at the Abel Tasman Marahau Lodge with our two adult children. The room was one of the most expensive that we booked during our stay in New Zealand. It had two bedrooms and a kitchen/living room. All services cost extra, including laundry and the spa/sauna. However, it was absolutely great to be staying right next to the park... more

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 nights at the Marahau Lodge and wished we could have stayed longer. The owner Don was very helpful in recommending and booking a kayaking / walking trip for us. The trip was brilliant. The room was large and comfortable and the scenery from our patio was fantastic. Excellent facilites and service. We have been surprised... more

My husband and I and 2 adult children stayed here in February 2009. Our hosts were helpful, friendly and welcoming, and the 2-bedroom accommodation we had was spacious, immaculate, and quiet with its own porch overlooking a green space right next to Abel Tasman National Park. The Lodge pays close attention to the environment and eco-friendly practices without sparing any... more

Amazing location really close to the park entrance. The lodge is not quite as luxurious as the pictures indicate but still very nice. The hosts came across as a bit fake and not really interested in us as guests. We only discovered after arriving that things like the hot tub are not included in the price of the room (unlike... more

My husband and I stayed at Marahau Lodge in the first week of January 2009. We stayed in No. 12, which was a one bedroom apartment with a small kitchenette and large bathroom with a bath at the end of the complex. We found it very comfortable and very clean. The bed was very comfortable as well. We did find... more
