What guests think

The Barn Cabins & Camp offers a scenic, campground-style base right by the Abel Tasman Coast Track, with friendly staff, varied accommodation (cabins, glamping domes, tents, baches), and well-kept shared areas that make trip planning and relaxing easy.

Many guests highlight beautiful views, comfortable beds, and practical extras like fire pits and well-equipped kitchens. Common trade-offs include some very small cabins, limited free Wi‑Fi with occasional slow speeds, and shared kitchens or bathrooms that can feel busy or limited at peak times. On-site food is modest (coffee shop/store and a food truck that may close on some days), with a cafe or restaurant nearby and occasional evening noise on event nights. Expect a relaxed, outdoorsy stay focused on easy Abel Tasman access.

This was genuinely the best campsite I’ve ever visited. The cabins were really nice, and the site had a movie room, boardgames, a food truck, sun loungers, and outdoor games for guests. It had everything needed for a few days stay and was right on the Abel Tasman coastal track. Only downside was that they only offer 250mb of wifi for free, and the kitchen can quickly become overcrowded as it seems usual for big tour groups to pass through the site. Really enjoyed the stay though!

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.

I actually tried to up-grade from "the Nest" - glamping to a cabin, but the staff said I should check it out as I might like it - I loved it. It was so inviting, romantic, pretty fairy lights inside and out. Excellent bed. Everything needed for a campfire provided. So cozy. Amazing view of the Pacific and incredible night sky.

A great base to stay if you're exploring the Abel Tasman. Really easy to book available excursions directly at reception which was great. Staff were super friendly and helpful. We had a standard qeen cabin which although small, was completely manageable for a couple of nights. Plenty of shared outside facilities which were well maintained by staff and looked after by other guests.

The shared bathrooms & showers were clean & well cared for. We got to see the sunrise from our bed or the cushy chairs in front of our dome.

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.

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
