Situated in Pohara, Ratanui Lodge features free WiFi, and guests can enjoy free bikes, a terrace and a bar.

All units come with a seating area, a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with free toiletries, shower, hot tub and bath. A fridge and kettle are also available. We loved our stay at Ratatnui Lodge - the staff was so accommodating to anything and everything we needed. The rooms were very comfortable; outdoor jacuzzi (needed to be cleaned but still nice) and pool area were a great bonus. Included breakfast was amazing and I had the delicious blueberry pancakes both days. Dinner and Bar/Drinks were also exceptional. Location is great for exploring the north and west side of Abel Tasman. We planned to take a water taxi to the east side but the road was closed to due slips (not a problem we did that on our way out from the east side of the park). Room included basics such as tea and coffee - robes included for relaxing. Truly this was one of our favorite places we stayed. Staff helped us coordinate our activities and when we had to cancel one due to the road being out they made sure we got our refund. Amazing stay!!!

Drift Off Grid Luxury Eco Glamping features mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking, located in Tarakohe.

All units come with a balcony with sea views, a fully equipped kitchenette with a dishwasher and a toaster, and a private bathroom with shower. The units come with a patio featuring an outdoor dining area. At the luxury tent, all units are fitted with bed linen and towels. The property is beautifully situated and appointed, no expense has been spared to deck it out in full glamping luxury. It boasted a beautiful view out across the bay and all the major amenities and smaller touches were perfectly on point. The eggs provided were delicious and we enjoyed cooking on the BBQ. The shower and baths had plenty of hot water and great pressure, so we enjoyed several long bathing sessions. The decor is modern and cosy, with plenty of coffee table books to keep us occupied. We enjoyed meeting the owner and had a good chat with Drew, who was very welcoming and helpful. Comms with Jana ahead of our stay were great too. It was the perfect spot for our baby-moon and a real treat. Best accommodation I've ever stayed in Golden Bay, would stay again in a heartbeat for our next special occasion and highly recommend to friends and family.

Situated in Takaka in the Tasman region, Chalet Karaka features a garden. This property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi.

The area is popular for cycling and hiking, and free use of bicycles is available at this 5-star guest house. The accommodation has an outdoor fireplace and a picnic area. We LOVED everything! You couldn't ask for a more tranquil setting. The chalet is well set up for self catering. Every attention to detail, right down to the condiments in the cupboard. I really didn't want to leave, but I've booked for this year (Xmas hols) already!!
