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.

Basic room. Good for one night, but I wouldn't stay any longer.
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
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.
The owners were very accommodating and friendly. Big units and clean. Everything you need. Free use of washing machine too.

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.

Wifi is not free during the entire stay. There should be photos of the room in the website.
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.

Basic backpacker hostel
The hostel is very basic but the rooms are functional. The room smelled slightly of damp and the shower in the en suite made the whole bathroom floor wet which was annoying. For the price, it’s an average backpackers hostel - you get what you pay for!
