Lodge
ABEL TASMAN NATIONAL
PARK
A Peppers Retreat
We are delighted that you are considering Peppers Awaroa Lodge, Abel Tasman National Park for your special day.
At Peppers, we understand that every bride and groom has an individual style of wedding in mind when planning
their special day, and as such offers a variety of ceremony and reception ideas for up to 60 guests.
It's about as untouched as New Zealand gets: If you want to experience the timeless beauty of nature, witness it in
one of the best places on earth. Set in the midst of Abel Tasman National Park in the South Island of New Zealand, in
native bush high above Awaroa Bay, is Peppers Awaroa Lodge. A place so rare that it operates to the highest global
standards for eco retreats*. This is a part of the world that enriches your soul. From here you will take home
memories you will never forget.
It's eco paradise meets eco chic: Peppers Awaroa Lodge is every bit about indulging in Peppers’ high standards of
appointment and service as it is about the secluded nature of the location. Standard rooms, superior suites and family
rooms (with mezzanine level) place you in the thick of an enchanting landscape. Most have private decks and
wetland views. Peppers passion for exploring the regional food trail can be sampled in the restaurant and café. Wi-Fi,
a cosy fireplace in the library and guest lounge round out the eco chic appeal, making this the perfect retreat.
It's the finest ingredients plated to perfection: Perhaps you harbour an educated palate in search of a great food
and wine experience. Or maybe you’re interested in tasting fresh seasonal produce as close to the source as possible.
Peppers Awaroa Lodge chefs are eager to introduce you to the best regional ingredients. Sometimes this can be as
close as their own back yard. The Lodge maintains an abundant organic garden that has a major influence on the
menu. One of the highlights of the menu is its ‘five senses’ approach, incorporating sound, smell, sight and touch as
well as taste.

Remotely located in the heart of Abel Tasman National Park on the South Island of New Zealand, the eco lodge
creates the ideal environment to revitalise the soul and break away from life's distractions while soaking up
picturesque views of the wetlands and native bush.
Your choices include by boat, by air or on foot.
By boat: The Abel Tasman Sea Shuttle departs from Kaiteriteri and will take you on a scenic journey along the
coastline of the National Park, pointing out features along the way. The Abel Tasman Aqua Taxi departs from Marahau
and will get you to the Lodge at speed while getting close to the scenery and wildlife.
By air: Tasman Helicopters depart from Nelson or Motueka. Enjoy a scenic flight along the coast, landing in the
Lodge’s wetland. (Also available for a Heli Luncheon charter for up to 6 people.) Sounds Air fly out of Nelson,
Motueka, Takaka or Wellington. Take a scenic flight and land on the local airstrip.
