Me and my wife have been in this Lodge during our trip around South Island which ended just some days ago. The lodge is in a perfect position, not far from the Abel Tasman and one step from the Acqua Taxi company that brings you all over the park and can organize different activities in the park. The rooms are... More

We booked for one night only,and arrived late in the afternoon.We ask Don about some walks around and where we could have dinner later. The information about the walks was good but Don "forgot" or didn't care telling us that having dinner about 20:00 is an impossible mission in Abel Tasman...the 2 only options around were already closed and we...

This place is waaaayyyyyy overpriced! did I say waaaayyyyyyyyy overpriced? Now, when you charge that much money from people this is what I expect in return: screen doors on your windows so that in the heat...and it was hot!...in the heat, we can open our windows to let in cool air without worrying about the millions...yes I said millions! of...

Sandflies were a problem but then they were everywhere. We will definitely go back... More

Good location. Room itself was ok but nothing more. More

The owners are very helpful and nice. The price for their breakfast may be a tad high ($15.00 for breads, jam, juice and coffee or tea). The rooms adequate and good for the area and for the little choice that you have to stay overnight! At night, beware of sandflies, even though they say that there are none there... do... More

Our experience with Marahau Lodge was fantastic. Don was incredibly nice and made us feel at home. The rooms were clean, functional, and had a wonderful patio off the back. Because we were using Aqua Taxi to get into the park, the location could not have been better; it’s located next door to the lodge (there’s a plot of land... More
