Destination / Abel Tasman National Park
A wide tidal inlet, beautiful beach and the setting for Meadowbank Homestead, making Awaroa one of the park’s most memorable places to stay or visit.
Overview
Awaroa has a different feel from the southern bays. The tidal inlet, broad beach and lodge history give it a stronger sense of remoteness and occasion. It is a key part of Wilsons lodge-based journeys and a strong day-trip beach stop.
