The staff, location and very comfortable bed! the staff are awesome & friendly!

Saudia New Zealand

We definitely got wayyyyyyyyyy more than what we expected and paid for. The family room/cabin was very big and clean and that YURT was the bomb! The beds were very comfy and very nicely made. The little touches like marshmallows, flowers, bean bags and outdoor furniture made it extra extra special. I think they have the best value for money in the whole NZ. We had a great ending to our holiday because of them.:)

Thea New Zealand

Beautiful setting and great location. We stayed one night before starting the Abel Tasman Great Walk. Our room was clean and comfortable. Seemed like a cool place to stay for longer, really good vibe. Staff were really helpful and friendly, and a bonus we could buy wine and coffee at reception! Would definitely stay again.

Amber New Zealand

Everything was fabulous. Staff were knowledgeable and very pleasant. Rooms are clean with comfy beds-no bunks! Perfect location and everything you need is there.

Elaine United States of America

A perfect location and lovely laid back atmosphere. Helpful very pleasant and knowledgeable staff-efficient! All types of accommodations from tents and camping to dorms or private rooms. Absolutely paradise. Lovely cafe just down the path, horseback riding, bus stop, pick up and returns for boating excursions.

Elaine United States of America

The location is great and is right next to the beginning of the Abel Tasman Walking Track. There are lots of areas to chill (hammock, etc.) and the cabins were very cute.

Einav Israel

The vibe - the beautiful lights and big fires were awesome and the outdoor area was beautiful at night.

Rachel New Zealand

I liked that it was right at the bottom of the Abel Tasman track, and it had a very friendly vibe.

Shannon New Zealand

Loved everything about it the location of the Creek House was very private and secluded. The room was even more fantastic in person. The service was amazing too. Very cool place

Laney New Zealand

Fantastic base at start of AT walk. Staff were very helpful. Rooms were spot on. Will come back!!
