We have a family room at the lodge which is fairly basic but fantastic ... has everything we need and comfortable to sleep. It is in the perfect spot with the beach across the road and a 1-5 min walk to all restaurants, shops etc. Love the holiday vibe of this place! Definitely want to come back and stay longer.

Great location but horribly designed backpackers. Way over priced for what it is. Kitchen and bathrooms stink. Needs windows in the bathroom. The outdoor area was horrible. Needs grass. Glad we werent there on a hot day. No aircon amd rooms just hot. We had a private room but felt sorry for thw backpackers. The bunkneds must be horrid. Kitchen needs a dishwasher and new ventilation system and a whole set of new appliances. For thw prices they charge they should improve it. Quite embarrassing really if this is what NZ is providing tourists.

Séjour gâché par le manque d'aération
Établissement proche de la plage et de toutes les commodités, notamment pour les taxis boat et les kayaks. Il est situé à proximité des commerces et des restaurants. Cependant il faisait dans notre chambre une chaleur atroce et la seule petite fenêtre ne suffisait pas à avoir assez d'air. Cela a gâché notre séjour.
Rien à dire sur la propreté et la qualité de la literie.

Nothing was every a problem for the staff, nice cool chill feel to the place.
Didn’t like the wait to use the kitchen but that will always happen in a communal kitchen

Siple pleasures.
Great jumping off point for all the activities in the area. Small room with all the basic amenities. Not posh but all good.

The locations is awesome, it is close to the beach and the cruise to Abel Tasman park. The room was clean but the bathroom was terrible. The fan did not work properly so it was always wet, what resulted in a terrible smell.
Because we traveled during off-season the reception closed at around 4 pm. This was not ideal, especially because we had wifi codes that only lasted 24 hours and expired that evening.
Our stay overall was okay, but we did not feel comfortable enough to shower which could be even worse in the summer time.

Ok as a backpacker hostel but ensuite room compromised by ground floor window next to busy path, constant kitchen extract smells and thin walls (so noisy).

Convenient and well located
Convenient for the boat to Abel Tasman but pretty basic en suite accommodation - more 'Flashpackers' than hotel! However Kaiteriteri is a beautiful location.

Poor hotel/hostel wouldn't recommend
Worse kitchen I was in whilst travelling NZ. Not sure if it was the kiwi people stopping at the time but was a horrible smell and extremely dirty. The room was very basic and heater only ran for a short time which wasn't ideal to dry our clothes after it had been raining again.

Location was great as we wanted to have quick access to Abel Tasman however the accommodation was more like a hostel and below std we normally select but for the price I don't complain.Manager very helpful in regards activities to explore Abel Tasman.
