Peaceful Oasis

Reviewed By marms4

A sweet set up with rustic but clean, well equipped & comfortable accommodation. Really helpful managers who, for a small fee dropped us in our car at the start of the Heaphy Track & looked after it until we picked it up. Very handy to stay there the night before we set off. All round great experience, would go again.

The Barn Cabins & Camp

A great range of accommodation options at the very start of the Abel Tasman.

Best camp ever!!

Reviewed By MartaM1895

The Barn cabins & camp is one of the best camping that we have been. The location is perfect, just in front of the beach and besides the Abel Tasman track. The Campground is well looked after, big and plenty of possibilities. Queen cabins are very convinient, beds and pillows are great. The kitchen is full equipped and really big, toilets and showers are nice also. Outdoor common area is warming. We would come back if we had the chance. They don't discriminate!!!

Eden's Edge Lodge

Eden's Edge Lodge is a boutique, self-catering large with excellent reviews. It's small, purpose-built and on a large and peaceful rural property, just minutes from the local town of Motueka. Our guests rave about our local scenery and all the local trips and activities they can enjoy. When they come home to us, they know they can rest, relax and re-fresh in a beautiful setting, with well-designed facilities and peaceful atmosphere. We do not cater for large bus groups.

Loved it!

Reviewed By Frankie6555

Owners were friendly (I think it's family owned), and the rooms and amenities were very nice for the price (tbh I was expecting a lot less). The breakfast was a nice touch, had dinner there a few nights as well. I love how close the river is.

Not for those with health issues

Reviewed By Lucyah15

Pros: The location was great, staff were friendly. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The free breakfast is always nice to have. Cons: The room smells like smoke (not for those who don't like smoke) The carpet was dusty (not for those with dust allergies) The floors creak each time you walk around (not for those with an earthquake related trauma?) The walls don't block sound (can hear the people next door talking if you're sensitive to sound) The internet was variable in terms of reliability The bed whilst not being a bunk bed being great, aren't comfortable for those after having done a long trek and have a sensitive back.

Home away from home for trampers

Reviewed By Jost-Pauline S

For two consecutive years we have used this backpackers/motel as a place to get back between tramps in the region. The facilities in Central Nelson are of great value for money and kept immaculately clean. The staff is very helpful and able to point out great spots to eat, arranging taxi rides and flexible when bookings changed due to unforeseen circumstances. This is a quiet place to live and sleep. While we were away we were able to leave our luggage in their store room at no extra charges. The showers had plenty of hot water and towels were provided for free. There is a roomy kitchen and a lovely lounge room, and fresh bread is provided on a daily basis. And due to its vicinity to town there is plenty of good eateries within walking distance from the accommodation. We were thankful being able to get a discounted taxi fare to the airport through the motel reception. When back in Nelson we will certainly know where to come to to get a good nights sleep at great service and a very fair price. Thank you very much Royce
