Wonderful
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Unfortunately we didn't quite realise just how small the cabin we booked was. I suppose this is not the facilities fault as they haven't falsely advertised it but it was seriously small. Once the sun went down if you weren't going out you were pretty much stuck laying on the bed as there's no room really to sit anywhere else.I think that they should maybe put on the website just how small they are so you know exactly what you're walking into
Really loved the glamping tent, location, on-site coffee and food nearby. Tour I arranged through the camp was great. Washrooms could have been cleaner.
It’s a nice casual place to stay. More backpackers style but friendly and easy. We loved that they left out surplus garden produce like tomatoes, apples and peppers. The cafe next door is great for a good meal and a drink
Lovely tent ..great bed and all equipment. Insect screens did a great job. Nice outside seating area and view across towards the sea. Quiet are of the site. Really nice helpful staff.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The dome was beautiful. It definitely felt very special. The showers and bathrooms are nice. It's the most convenient spot in Abel Tasman. The food options are limited. You can easily walk to Park Cafe, and there's a food truck. On Thursdays, Park Cafe has open mic night, and you can definitely hear the noise late into the night. I would stay here again and recommend to others!
We have stayed at the property many times. The cleanliness and facilities have gone downhill. Bathrooms seem much dirtier than previously. Kitchen area showing signs of needing deep cleaning. Rubbish bins overflowing in kitchens and bathroom areas. Linens had bad odours. Staff slow at reception.
Great set up for preparation to walk Abel Tasman track. Cabin adequate but tiny, so good to have large open shared kitchen area with space for packing, fridges, microwave, kettle, crockery etc.
