About this property

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.

York St, Motueka

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.

Great property. Had absolutely everything you could need - more than enough utensils and equipment for a Christmas dinner. Everything was very comfortable. Great property for the dog - fully fenced with lots of room for call throwing. Thanks, for what we needed, it was perfect

Home away from home

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.

Just right!

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.

This is a great wee house for a family. Our kids loved the large section and games. Great spot if you want to do day trips around like we did. Took my elderly parents and my dad loved the lazy boy chair. Thanks so much for having use
