Dining in the heart of the Abel Tasman

One of the unexpected highlights of staying in our lodges is the food. After a day walking, kayaking or cruising through Abel Tasman National Park, guests gather to enjoy fresh, seasonal meals prepared by our chefs.

Meals are shared in a relaxed atmosphere that reflects the warm hospitality of our lodges.

The lodge dining experience

At the end of each day exploring the park, our lodges come alive as guests gather to share stories, enjoy a drink and sit down together for dinner.

Meals are designed to be both nourishing and memorable, using fresh ingredients and flavours that suit the relaxed setting of the Abel Tasman coast.

We’re lucky to live in a region blessed with fantastic produce, so our menus are created to make the most of seasonal, local flavours.

What's included?

All meals are included:

  • Cooked and continental breakfast options to begin your day

  • Delicious three-course evening meals

  • Packed lunches to take with you each day

  • Fresh fruit, homemade biscuits, fruit juice, hot drinks including Nelson organic teas and fair trade coffee & hot chocolate are always available 

Our menus cater for a wide range of dietary requirements including vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options.

Local beer, wine & beverages

Before, or alongside your evening meal, you can enjoy a selection of New Zealand wines, beers and other beverages available at the lodge.

Our drinks menu features wines and beers chosen to complement the relaxed lodge dining experience and the flavours of the region. It’s the perfect way to unwind after a day exploring the Abel Tasman.

Beer, wine and other beverages are available for purchase during your stay and are not included in lodge stay packages.

Whether it’s a cold beer after a walk or a glass of wine with dinner, it’s all part of the relaxed lodge atmosphere.
