Wild Life

There is an abundance of wildlife in the Abel Tasman National Park.

Here at Awaroa Lodge, we have taken great care to develop and restore our wetland area so that native plants and animals can thrive in this environment.

Birds such as the paradise duck and native Pukeko are often seen in this area and you will spot the giant eels in the water.

You will often hear the song of the tui or bellbird amidst the peaceful tranquility of the lodge and surrounding areas.

There are many native plants and trees including the manuka and kanuka trees, harakeke (flax ) as well as native ferns.

The Abel Tasman National Park is also home to many sea birds including the dotterel, tern and oyster catcher.
