We loved our stay here. It's a beautiful location in the national park surrounded by nature. Stuart the host elevates the experience, he's great fun and a mine of information. You have to understand that these are a number of co-located small lodges and manage expectations around this. We were travelling with our 2 sons. We had a lodge with an ensuite bathroom, they had one with a kitchen but no bathroom. There is a well equipped kitchen/ dining and shower unit in the centre of the camp with fridges for food. It was very clean. Kept tidy, comfy beds and good showers. What is really lovely is sitting on our veranda listening to the birds, you are just feet away from the wildlife. It's a great location if you want to explore the national park. It's great fun getting a water taxi and exploring sections along the Abel Tasman way or getting kayaks.

All hostels in Marahau

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little 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!

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.
