to get started.

This place is really quirky in shipping containers. it had a great social area with loads of benches to eat at and comfy sofas. It has a great cinema area where you can snuggle down and watch an up to date movie at night or they have a great library for any other part of the day. 2 pool tables a football table on site food and amazing large private showers. Plus the guys who run this place go out of there way to help you.

Location is amazing, right near the beach. The place is clean and incredible for a large group. Pool tables and a movie theater make this a super fun place for a group.

Loved the staff-very friendly and helpful! Great at telling us all about the area and helped book the water taxi. Bessy, the resident pup, is very sweet and friendly. She brightened the day for those of us that were homesick for our dogs! The set up is awesome and very well thought out-lots of wonderful hangout areas. The wood-burning stoves made everything very cozy as well. We were only there for two nights but would be great for a longer stay. The food truck was fun and the flat-whites in the morning were delicious!

Jamie

Really comfortable beds and lots of great spaces to hang out in, including a movie theater! The staff is welcoming, friendly and has tons of good information. The property is clean and quiet but very close to any place you need to go in Marahau. We stayed before and after our 3-day kayak trip in Abel Tasman. Would definitely recommend.

Greg and his staff were fantastic hosts. The inn is perfectly located near the Aqua Taxi pick-up, the entrance to the park, the beach and the few restaurants in town. Highly recommend.

Great location, awesome facilities with cool common areas, cinema...etc. The host,Greg is super helpful- we made our water taxi reservation through him. The hostel is located basically as close as you can physically get to the Abel Tasman trailhead- it was a huge relief not to drive after we completed our 24 km hike!

Greg was a great host. We stayed in a dorm room here and stayed for two nights Abel Tasman is quite an expensive place to stay but the price here was very good value for money considering it's location, and the amazing facilities available here there was a snooker table, darts board, old Playstation to play childhood games and a built in cinema!! <-- which there is also free popcorn for!

The location was great, especially being so close to the national park. The atmosphere was very chill and friendly. The cinema room and pool tables are great touch, and the owners were very friendly and helpful which makes this accommodation a little more special and homely.

The guy who owns the place is great, and he’s dramatically ugrading the facilities — so the WILL be good. My guess is this score would be a lot higher if I stayed in a couple of months.

Room was supposed to be an 8 bed room, but it’s a container only divided by beds so essentially we were sleeping in a 12 bed room. Also the room smelled humid, definitely needed better ventilation. If you have to sleep in the top bunk, they’re really high and ladder to it looks really cool but is really uncomfortable. Female toilets only had two small sinks and a small mirror.
Overall the property’s is really nice. Toilets are in good condition. Staff were really nice. The lounge was comfortable and warm.

It can get a bit dirty in the rooms due to the sand everybody brings in from the beach/ hikes. The bathroom could use more than only two small sinks, women need more space. The kitchen is very basic.
This hostel is made with love and you can feel it. The two owners are super friendly, very kiwi and always available for a quick chat or a joke. There is a movie night every in a little cinema. The common area is great to hang out and meet new people. Beds are nice and give you some privacy.

When it's cold outside there aren't seat options when you want to dinning inside. The kitchen haven't good cooking plates, only one sink, so when its overcrowded, it can be very annoying. In addition there is no freezer.
It was very clean and I loved the atmosphere.

The adventure inn is an amazing stay! Free cinema room, free pool table and bus that is both a reception and food truck. Great hang out areas and the beds are one of the comfiest I’ve encountered so far on my travels. It’s really close to the National Park as well, really easy to go for walks from there. Thank you Greg and Meg for an amazing stay and an amazing hostel!
