Awaroa Lodge

Abel Tasman National Park, New Zealand

Awaroa Lodge

Jump to:

Awaroa Lodge is located on the northern end of the iconic Abel Tasman National Park, nestled in the native forest and is inaccessible by road.

The lodge features 26 guest rooms from cute chalet style standard rooms to the architecturally designed superior suites. Awaroa Lodge is a TV-free environment and mobile phone coverage is non-existent, so you are free to absorb the sights and sounds of the native birdlife and glorious forest surroundings.

The lodge offers a restaurant, café and bar, day spa, and on sunny days an outdoor pizzeria which serves as a refreshment stop for track walkers. There is also a private beach just a short walk from the main lodge.

OUR OPINION:

A unique property that focuses on the surrounding environment and getting back to nature with comfortable facilities.

OUR RATING: First Class
