Charming! The hostess made me feel so very welcome and was wonderful about checking in to make sure I had everything I needed; so kind and caring. The house and the tiny cabins on the property are lovely, private, very cozy, and filled with fun...

Charming BnB right in the heart of things. Tucked away in a quiet location on a larger property. Very nice owner and host. Includes a nice breakfast in the AM. I stayed in a cottage with shared bath and it was clean and easy. Only shared with one...

Only booked here for one night as a fairly last minute change of plans and truly wish I could have stayed for a few days! The BnB is super cute, easy access to Abel Tasman, feels very isolated in a well maintained garden, the host (Leigh) was...

We loved the our cabin, the potting shed! The cottage was cute, cozy, and had great windows and patio. We also appreciated the additional tables and sofa incorporated into a small area. The bed was so comfortable as well!

Company info

The summer of 2019/20 I had a taste of having guests and I loved it. I am so excited to welcome more guests this summer which will be my 5th season (2023/4) and moving on from covits. I find it interesting hearing all their stories and about where they are from. I look forward to meeting you all this season. Only 8 minutes walk to town and 10 minutes walk to the beach. Drive for a couple of minutes to the salt water pool for a seawater swim. There are 2 great laundromats very close down the road on the main street and a supermarket. A BBQ is available for cooking light meals and a new fully equipped outdoor kitchen for guests to use. See photos. Please note that there is an unfenced pond and creek on this property.

Property info

Wander around my large tree lined and flowery property in the middle of Town, well away from the traffic noise. The garden is like being in the country yet only 7 minutes walk to town for coffee/meals or even the Sunday Market. 10 minutes walk to the beach. Enjoy the pond and relax in the Island summerhouse. Feed the semi tame wild ducks. Also you can feed the eels off the jetty over the creek on the other side near the cabins off the deck. Have a swing in the garden and enjoy the sounds of the birds. All outside cabins share a new bathroom on the main deck. A spare toilet out under the trees plus and extra outdoor covered private shower. The family studio is right beside the shared bathroom on the terrace, The cabin with a garden veiw is just off the terrace and The cabin with a large terrace is a little further away looking over the garden and pond. The 2 suites is in the house with full private bathrooms. All cabins and 1 of the suites have their own terraces, and all have table and chairs and lounging chairs to relax in. A main new shared bathroom as well as a toilet under the trees and deck shower. A great place to mix and chat with other guests, or share the large outdoor dinning table on the deck over a few glasses of wine etc. Before maybe going into town for dinner or cook your dinner in the guest kitchen beside the fire pit on the main deck. Also a BBQ available for cooking. Outdoor lighting at night. A young cat lives here, he is a little shy until he feels that it is safe to come out. Think of staying here as part of your adventure, not just a place to sleep. From 7.00am to 9.00am in the mornings enjoy an extensive selfhelp breakfast in the breakfast room under the porch. Check out all the photos to get a better idea of where everything is. Happy travels.

Neighborhood info

A truly great place to be based at. In the centre of so many interesting activities and sightseeing. From Motueka you can explore everything between Nelson, Takaka and beyond. The Abel Tasman National Park, Kaiteriteri Beach where you can swim, lay on the golden sand, lap up an ice cream or catch a water taxi. The Riwaka river resurgence source, a lovely cool walk trough native bush and plunge into the cold water if you are feeling up to it. The oldest pub in New Zealand is up the valley, cold beer and great food. Mapua wharf, Ruby Bay , Rabbit Island, Walk to Split Apple rock, Marahau, gateway to the national park. Restaurants, cafe's, A great one to visit is Jester House on the old highway, Feed the very fat lazy eels even more food and you can pat them. Kids love it and the food is great. Sunday market, walk and cycle ways, 10 minutes walk to beaches, walk around the Inlet (50 mins), You will need at least a week or more to see it all. PS, Drive a couple of minutes to the salt water pool for a swim.
