If you get the opportunity to stay at Awaroa bay with Elva and Geoff during your stay in NZ, you really must take it!
My husband and I had a brilliant 2 night stay here (although would have loved to have stayed longer!) From being picked up on quad bike or boat (tide depending) to watching the bay go from sand to sea with a glass of wine - it’s a really special stay!
There’s a comfy bed, warm private shower, tea/coffee facilities and a gas BBQ to cook your own meals, Elva puts on a lovely breakfast and you can also eat at Awaroa lodge close by.
It’s located right in the bay and is an unimaginably beautiful setting, being harder to get to then some usual tourist spots, it’s so quiet and peaceful - also in the heart of Abel Tasman National Park for walks and wildlife spotting.
Elva and Geoff are fantastic, generous hosts and people - they’re helpful and knowledgeable about the area, walks and wildlife and even help out with a boat when your plans and the tide don’t align.
We would definitely recommend this place to stay and wish it was a little closer to home for us to come back again soon!
