Located at the northern end of Abel Tasman National Park, Awaroa Lodge is the ideal place to explore the famous Abel Tasman Coastal Track - touted as the most beautiful of all New Zealand’s ‘Great Walks’. According to its website their aim ‘is to offer an intrinsically New Zealand experience, with its style of service, culture, food and accommodation in this beautiful place.’

Awaroa Lodge is strong on advocating sustainable tourism. Environmentally sound choices resound in everything from the lodge’s design and construction, environmental improvement and wetland enhancement, developing low-impact waste management systems, maximising recycling to buying eco-friendly products.

Getting There

Don’t be put off by the fact there’s no road access to Awaroa Lodge - it’s all part of the adventure. Paddle along the coastline by sea kayak or walk through beautiful native forests and across the vast coastal inlets to discover secluded bays. There are also flights available but we suggest one of the above options to help repress your carbon footprint.
