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.

Dome tent was great, the amenities including firewood, marshmallows, hot water bottles and toiletries was a lovely touch.
Reception helpfully got me onto a water taxi last minute that was about to leave.
