Mohua Motels

Come and enjoy Golden Bay's warm and friendly lifestyle...Perfectly situated at the entrance to Takaka Township, next door to the Golden Bay Visitor Centre, bus stop and supermarket. Ideal for the traveller arriving into Takaka by bus. The motel's ambience is one of restful colours, warmth and serenity, enjoying rural views and the ranges in the west from a sun-drenched patio. Mohua Motels makes an ideal base from which to explore all this wonderful region has to offer. You really need to spend at least a week or more in Golden Bay; time to visit the rugged beauty at its northern most tip and the numerous beaches that stretch from Farewell Spit to the golden sands of Totaranui at the gateway to the Abel Tasman National Park.

The beach front units are positioned as to allow privacy while allowing sea views. Complete with fridge, microwave, cooktop and dishwasher it covers all bases. The large bed and comfortable furnishings allow you to relax and enjoy as does the spa bath. Being situated 17 km past Takaka and 7 km before Collingwood gives you two service centres to provide food and drinks etc. the infamous Mussel Inn is just 3 km down the road. Each unit has a Bar B Que and kyacks and paddle boards are available for shared use. The wash house is available in the afternoons

Golden Bay Holiday Park

Golden Bay Holiday park is located on the beach in the centre of Golden Bay, halfway between the Abel Tasman National Park and Farewell Spit. It is a spacious park comprising 210 campsites, 2 luxury apartments, 6 cabins and a self-contained cabin. The park is in a rural area at the end of a private road and is bounded by bush and pasture, with a river down one boundary and fronted by its own private beach. There is no street noise, and no street lights to disturb the natural setting. In the morning the sun rises out of the sea, and a beach fire in the evening is the perfect way to finish your day. We are dog friendly in our low peak season from beginning of March to end of November.

Closed due to covid

Reviewed By 633karyns

Left the main highway and drove down quite a long way to reach the camping grounds only to find that they were closed and no one was to enter under any circumstances. I understand that people may be worried about Covid but surely a sign on Billboard on the main highway would save people the trip to the camp. I rate it low due to owners not displaying closed on the bill board and cannot answer any questions on amenities.

Wonderful Stay

Reviewed By NZfoodie21

Love, love, love the Shady Rest - exceeded our expectations. We stayed in the Green Room that has access to the veranda & views overlooking the front garden & distant hills. A spotlessly clean separate bathroom with a great shower & plenty of hot water. We enjoyed a very comfortable two night stay here & the gardens are a delight. Breakfast is very good & the location is so central that walking to shops & cafes is so easy. Hosts are amazing & go beyond to make sure you are looked after.

Patons Rock Beach Villas

Patons Rock Beach Villas offer a self check in private accommodation. Fully self contained and serviced daily, they are an ideal choice for the discerning holiday maker looking for something more than a motel room. With only 4 spacious 2-bedroom villas, surrounded in gardens and located well off the road, you will feel like you have the whole place to yourselves. Sun and garden views from every window. We are just a few minutes walk from Patons Rock beach, one of Golden Bays safest swimming beaches.

Highly recommended

Lovely surroundings, short walk to the beach, great standard of accommodation - we really loved our 3 nights here and would love to return as we didn't get to do all we wanted to. Pupu Springs, Wainui Falls, grove walk, Farewell Spit tour all highlights. Enjoyed the Wholemeal cafe in Takaka - several times!

Cosy

Reviewed By martini66L

First time ever in Takaka and this place was pleasant. Dated and felt like I was staying at grandmas but thats not a bad thing. Spacious, clean, had everything we needed and Lex was very easy to deal with. He also upgraded us for free to a 2 bedroom unit instead of the studio unit which with 2 toddlers was a godsend!! Very close to town, a 2 minute bike ride down the road. Great central location to go on drives out to different beaches or the Anatoki Salmon farm, highly recommend this if you have kids. Free shed to keep the bikes in, free washing amenities which is great when you're constantly at the beach and bringing half of it back with you.
