Farewell your animal friends on the track, return to your beachfront lodges and enjoy a hot shower. They are the only lodge accommodation right on the beach in the heart of Abel Tasman National Park. Here, you enjoy a wilderness experience without giving up modern conveniences. Over a fine 3-course dinner, swap stories with fellow walkers, be lulled to sleep by the sound of waves lapping golden sands.

With no road access in the Abel Tasman National Park, every trip is a journey. Be part of a small group, guided by experienced local guides, you can discover the best of Abel Tasman National Park in comfort, with more time for you to relax or immerse in the nature.
