Abel Tasman Waterfront Motel

What guests think

At Abel Tasman Waterfront Motel, guests frequently praise the scenic waterfront location and friendly staff, along with generally clean, spacious rooms, while noting dated decor, basic facilities, and some maintenance issues such as fluctuating showers and worn furnishings.

Beds are often comfortable, but a few guests report hard pillows or poor mattresses, thin walls and traffic noise, and occasional odors or housekeeping oversights. Many appreciate views from balconies, the pool and BBQ area, and easy walking access to shops, though some find the property tired and the pool unheated. Expect a budget, lakefront stay with friendly service and aging rooms.

Rooms were a terrific size with a nice view. Parking was a bit of issue, there were enough spaces, which were large enough, but the turn into the parking area was quite a tight turn, particularly if you are in a larger car.

It was clean and well equipped. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom clean. There was just one problem: a foul stench when we entered the room. It was especially pronounced at the entrance. The door to our room as well as the next one were wide open in a clear attempt to air them. It seems that it was just those two rooms because our friends, staying a few doors down from us, didn't have the problem.

Bed and pillows extremely uncomfortable, no ice in the freezer,'The first thing you want on a vacation is a nice cool drink.Incredibly noisy cars out front on Hwy non stop.Could not open the balcony door for even a minute as cigarette smoke would pour in from surrounding rooms. On the bright side Staff incredibly friendly and very helpful.

You need more blankets. Only 1 blanket in winter for a Q and S bed. You have to put a curtin or blind in the shower or to pull acroos the kitchen area to stop the outside light in room 1 if you need to keep it on for security. It lights up the whole room and i think i got about 3 hrs sleep. The management where friendly, but unconttactable at 9 am the next day when leaving. We put the key in the key box to go, and realising we left something in the room but called several times with no answer so will have to sort it when at our next stop. The rooms where spacious, well cleaned and lovely for a overnight stop. Only took off 1 star for the lighting and no blankets.

This is the third time I've stayed at this hotel, not in great condition but the people are friendly. This time they serviced my room even thought I did not put out the sign to have it serviced, very frustruting as I try to be as kind to the environment as possible and don't need clean towels and sheets every day.
