Motel Abel Tasman Haven

279 Sandy Bay-Marahau Road, 7197 Marahau, New Zealand –

Lock in a great price for Abel Tasman Haven – rated 9.7 by recent guests!

to get started.

Rose was an excellent hosts. She was extremely helpful with the hikes in Abel Tasmen.

Richard, United States of America

An absolutely wonderful place to stay. A five star property at two star prices. Spotless, well equipped with everything you need, and in a very quiet setting. Rose is an awesome hostess. Very knowledgeable, helpful and one of the nicest people you will ever meet. We would highly recommend staying here if you are going to do any exploring, hiking, or kayaking in the northeast part of the South Island. It is at the doorway of the Abel Tasman Walk. There are also many day trips to beautiful places if you have a car. We hope to be able to return to the area sometime and wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else.

Michael, United States of America

Lovel very clean well equipped unit. Nice views of Abel Tasman park and hills. Cute stand alone unit. Several restaurants nearby; great meal. Gracious helpful owner

Linda, United States of America

Rose was very helpful and knowledgable of the area. Setting quiet ,peaceful with stunning views.

Mandy, United Kingdom

Great location in Abel Tasman, cozy cottage with great patio for enjoying morning/evening meals. Rose was super-helpful and accommodating. Adequate cooking/frig facilities for our simple meals but you probably wouldn't want to do very involved meals (there is 2 burner plate and microwave, no oven). Hubby liked to make eggs in the morning and he says they had the BEST fry pan we've seen in any of the places we've stayed, truly nonstick and in excellent condition! He wants to buy one just like it when we get home. Parking was convenient and right next to cottage. Located right next to the water taxi pickup location.

Joan, United States of America

Everything! Rose is an excellent host and gave us indications to tour around. Property is new, quiet and beautiful... we ll come back for sure!

Emma, Canada

We had the very lovely self contained apartment. Spacious & well equipped. And the location is perfect for enjoying the sound or track.

David, United States of America

The Fat Tui burgers and fish and chips nearby was the only place to eat in the evening but it was terrific, best fish and chips for a long time!

David, New Zealand

The host.. she makes you feel like you were lifetime friends. She is wonderful, kind and soooo open-minded.. And she has an adorable dog. Slice of heaven..

Codrin, France

The chalet was great, incredibly comfortable and with everything we needed. Rose was a very welcoming and helpful host. We felt very at home in our chalet and had a great time exploring the local area.

Cozy chalet. Really enjoyed our stay. Nice shower. The bathroom was small but the water gets warm fast when you take the shower. Friendly host Rose. The location is just beside aqua taxi and close to the start of the Abel Tasman coastal track

“Sweet self contained cottages perfect for exploring the Abel Tasman. Great host! ”
- • Leisure trip

Very sweet self contained cottages (there's only three of them) and perfectly located to explore the Abel Tasman area. Rose has been a wonderful host, helping a lot with suggestions and local tips on what to do in the area and you can very conveniently book the water taxi to the National park through her. The cottages are fully equipped (including hot cooking plates and we even had a second fridge on the porch) and spacious. Very quiet location (not streetfront) and at the same time very convenient since it's right next to the water taxi office and within 1-2 km from the the entrance to the Abel Tasman National Park. Marahau itself is just a little township but you'll find some nice dining options within walking distance if you're not self catering. We loved staying there and also had a great time with Bella, their very friendly labrador.

This is a lovely, quiet, and sparkling clean haven just steps from the Abel Tasman Park. Rose and Bill are the friendliest and kindest people you’ll meet in NZ. They take pride in their home and community and love to share their great depth of knowledge about the area. We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay here.
