I thoroughly enjoyed my night in a double room with partial ocean view. My room and bed were very comfortable. I hiked to the beach before sunset. There was no food choices other than what you bring. They sell frozen pizza and a few basic other things for purchase while the office is open. They give you a small amount of Wi-Fi free. Otherwise you can purchase 10 GB for $5 which I did. Shared kitchen and bathrooms. Friendly roosters that you will meet quickly if you’re eating any food outside… Gorgeous sunrise over the ocean. I recommend staying here priced affordably for any budget.

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

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!
