This place is stunning! Thoroughly recommend it as a base for anyone wanting to explore the Abel Tasman national park. There's a great view of the sea and a nice little stream running right outside the lodge, and the place itself was spacious, comfortable and included everything we needed for a hassle-free stay. We didn't get to meet Christa but her communication was really good via email. Hermann showed us in and was helpful in answering our questions. Easy check in process and it's close shops/restaurants, it's also easy to find from the road yet you really feel like you're out in the middle of nowhere when you're up in the lodge!
