Abel Tasman National Park
The accessible, coastal Abel Tasman National Park is NZ’s most visited national park. The park blankets the northern end of a range of marble and limestone hills extending from Kahurangi National Park; its interior is honeycombed with caves and potholes. There are various tracks in the park, including an inland route, although the Coast Track is what everyone is here for.
Bronte Country Estate is less than an hour away from the start of the track in the Abel Tasman National Park at Marahau.
