💙 A little cabin refresh and some lovely words from our guests!

We received this wonderful review this week, and feedback like this always means so much to our team!

If you've stayed in our Ensuite Cabins recently, you may have noticed a few changes! Over the past year, we've been giving our cabins a little refresh, adding some modern touches to make your stay even more comfortable.

From new curtains, bedspreads and flooring to refreshed bathrooms, lighting and a few practical upgrades like extractor fans, it's all about keeping that classic Kiwi cabin experience, just with a little extra comfort! 🏡🌊

And it's always lovely to hear when our guests have enjoyed their stay.

“The location of the accommodation in Kaiteriteri, right on the beach, was perfect. A playground, shops, a restaurant, a water taxi ticket office, and a petrol station were all in the immediate vicinity, meaning everything needed to explore Abel Tasman National Park was just minutes away.

The cabin itself was very comfortable and well-equipped. The campground was very clean, and our children were delighted by visits from the local family of ducks.

We would return in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, our three-night stay came to an end all too soon.”

A big thank you to our guests for sharing these kind words, and to our team who work hard behind the scenes to make every stay a memorable one! 💙
