Everything was fantastic! Our cabin was small, but very comfortable and clean, with a lovely terrace at the back amidst the green jungle. It was nice to have our private bathroom and toilet. The communal kitchen was super convenient and well kept, with indoor and outdoor places to sit and eat. The location of the lodge is superb. Very quiet and surrounded by beautiful nature. No traffic to hear, just birds and cicades. What we also found a great plus is that Kanuka Ridge Lodge - with only 8 rooms - is not a big place. The atmosphere is very friendly and easygoing. The lodge is very well run and looked after by Mr. Stu (the always happy owner), who can give you all the information you would like to know about the Abel Tasman NP, with good advices about day walks and ferry transfers to/from starting/finishing points too. This was one of the lodges we liked the most during our whole trip in New Zealand.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    One of the best hostels i have stayed in so far. First of the staff is really helpfull and kind, felt right at home. The hostel is really nice, it has a big garden with hammocks, pool tables, a cinema, an inside living room and a fireplace where u can roast marshmallows every night. The location is good aswell its on walking distance from the beach and the park and right next to the kayak hire and water taxi. Dorms and beds were great aswell!

    Great facilities, friendly and informed personell and within walking distance of Abel Tasman national park. They helped me organize activites and informed me where to go. They came and picked me up and dropped me back of i Kaiteriteri. The best hostel I stayed in during my NZ trip!

    So far the best hostel I stayed in NZ! The owner as well as the staff is super friendly and extremely helpful - they always assure all the guests are doing well. We spontaneously decided to do a camping trip in the Abel Tasman and they provided us a tent and sleeping bags. In case of bad weather they have lots of board games as well as a cinema and pool tables, nice indoor and outdoor common area.

    It's probably the best hostel I have ever been in. The staff were amazing, and the whole place was so cosy. Thanks, guys, for the fantastic experience and the good chats.

    Great location very close to Abel Tasman NP. The style of the dorm rooms made out of shiping containers is unique. During the summer a great place to stay. There are even an in-house cinema and pool tables. The upper bunk beds are a bit high, but all of them have two outlets and two USB ports.
