Great glamping experience
Great glamping experience. We stayed in one of their tents (The Castle) and it was very clean and comfortable. Beds were great. Can be a little warm in the summer. Facilities are very hostel like, but overall pretty clean and lots of space to relax. We wish we could have tried Scotty’s but it was closed both days we were there (Tues/Wed). Reasonable food options nearby, with one other restaurant within easy walking distance. Very easy access to Abel Tasman and they can arrange activities at the front office.

Really loved the glamping tent, location, on-site coffee and food nearby. Tour I arranged through the camp was great. Washrooms could have been cleaner.
