I really liked the Barn- especially when planning to go to the Abel Tasman.Friendly people,clean facilities and nice location
Romy, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

A great base to stay if you're exploring the Abel Tasman. Really easy to book available excursions directly at reception which was great. Staff were super friendly and helpful. We had a standard qeen cabin which although small, was completely manageable for a couple of nights. Plenty of shared outside facilities which were well maintained by staff and looked after by other guests.

Great place to stay. Beautiful location.
Philippa, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

the location is good for someone like to do hiking because it is right next to the entrance of Abel Tasman National Park coast trail. It brought back my memory when I was 17 years old jointing the Youth Hostel and camping with my friends.

Amazing place

Amazing location, very comfort cabin. Log fire and outdoor hot tub were a great addition. Thoroughly recommend
David, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I actually tried to up-grade from "the Nest" - glamping to a cabin, but the staff said I should check it out as I might like it - I loved it. It was so inviting, romantic, pretty fairy lights inside and out. Excellent bed. Everything needed for a campfire provided. So cozy. Amazing view of the Pacific and incredible night sky.
Jane, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Awesome place for the family, plus several great unwind areas around the place for when the kids are asleep

Friendly, helpful staff. Small cabin but adequate for our one night stay. Small number of toilets and showers for the number of people staying on the property.
