Great glamping experience
Great glamping experience. We stayed in one of their tents (The Castle) and it was very clean and comfortable. Beds were great. Can be a little warm in the summer. Facilities are very hostel like, but overall pretty clean and lots of space to relax. We wish we could have tried Scotty’s but it was closed both days we were there (Tues/Wed). Reasonable food options nearby, with one other restaurant within easy walking distance. Very easy access to Abel Tasman and they can arrange activities at the front office.

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

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!
