Abel Tasman National Park, New Zealand

Whether you're looking for an active holiday of tramping and kayaking, or a lazy day at the beach, Abel Tasman National Park is the perfect destination. This is New Zealand's smallest national park, protecting 23,000 hectares of the most natural stretch of easily accessible coastline in New Zealand.

It's possible to have a lovely holiday without giving a thought to the people who first settled here over a hundred years ago, but history buffs will find plenty of interest to satisfy their curiosity about pioneer life. Awaroa was the site of an early settlement, rich with New Zealand history. Meadowbank Homestead - Awaroa is built on the site of Meadowbank, one of the early homesteads. The Lodge is owned and operated by the Wilson family, descendants of Adele and William Hadfield who lived at Meadowbank with their nine children in the early 1900s.
