About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Well equipped, thoughtfully prepared and walking distance to town.

Welcome to the Motueka Getaway!
Our funky three-bedroom suntrap offers cheerful open-plan living overlooking the large yard. This house is fresh and functional, with new carpet and paint throughout. An HRV system, built-in fire place and ceiling fan help to keep the temperature comfortable throughout the seasons. A brand new heatpump/ air conditioner has been recently installed.

The bedrooms include a queen, a king single and two single beds, as well as a sofa bed in the lounge for added flexibility.

The modern kitchen includes a double oven, microwave and gas cooktop, as well as a brand-new dishwasher.

The older-style bathroom (with shower, bath and separate toilet) is perfectly clean and functional, and the laundry is an asset for longer-term guests.

The property is fully fenced, and is tucked down a quiet back section. Please feel free to enquire about bringing your pet - we are happy to discuss this with you. There is plenty of off-street parking for a caravan or boat.

The landscaping is still an enthusiastic work-in-progress – watch this space! In the meantime, help yourself to fresh herbs from the garden and any fruit that happens to be ripening on the trees during your stay.

Children are very welcome here, and we’ve provided some books, toys and outdoor play equipment to help make their stay more exciting and yours more relaxing.

The Motueka Getaway is well appointed and well located – in less than 10 minutes, you can stroll to Motueka’s main street. Kaiteriteri Beach is 15 minutes’ drive away, and you can be at the foot of the Abel Tasman National Park in 20 minutes.

Your hosts live in Motueka and have lots of local knowledge, so please send us your questions or comments!

Perfect location in Motueka
We stayed two nights. Our host was great; quick and easy to communicate with. The property was well prepared with various notes, superb attention to detail and we loved the 'extras' that were provided, plus the bonus of garden produce! We were on ebikes from Nelson to Motueka, then onto Kaiteriteri, we arrived wet and the 'breeze-way' was great for drying our gear. Nelson Bike Hire collected our bikes and Motueka Taxi's shuttled us onto Abel Tasman. Would definitely recommend this host and house in the heart of Motueka.

Motueka perfect
Our group of four adults staid 4 nights during the peak season to be close to our family who lives locally. The house worked perfectly for us. It was spacious, quiet, clean and very well equipped. We much enjoyed being able to use the bikes in flat Motueka! We all had a wonderful family time. The house would also work quite well for those new to the area who want to discover the region.

We really enjoyed our stay, it was pet friendly so we could take our puppy. The boys enjoyed riding one of the bikes that were available. We had more family staying at the campground nearby so it was perfect for joining them for bbqs. Thank you.

Enjoyed picking fresh fruit and veg from the garden. The home was really comfortable. Power plug in the bathroom or long extension cord would be my only suggestion.

Clean tidy and homely stay. Walking distance to restaurants. Lots of books and games if we were staying longer. Just right for a night stay after we tramped Abel Tasman track and so nice to get back to sheets and showers.
