About this property
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!

The house was incredibly spacious and beautifully furnished. The beds were very comfortable as was the stylish furniture. We all felt the house had a lot of charm and character plus there was a lovely garden area with a lemon tree, a grapefruit tree and a play shed for children. We wished we had booked the house for longer!
Loved the location- 15 min walk to centre. Lovely personalised message from host; everything organised and labelled. Great garden and great to get clothes washed and dried.
Very spacious property in great location. Handy to town and beach with massive backyard fully fenced for dogs. Plenty of local produce in the garden as well.
Thank you Elsie, a lovely warm, clean home well equiped. Comfortable beds. Would recommend this home.

Great comfortable home to stay in. Hard to find a place that has parking for a larger boat so was perfect for us. Clean, tidy and has everything. Host is lovely and very welcoming. Definitely recommend
Quiet, relaxing, clean, airy, comfortable beds, spacious. A lovely original home hidden inside the middle of a residential block with an enormous backyard of fruit, veg and herbs, all available. For people without a car, this is close to stops for bus to/from Nelson, pickups for Abel Tasman and seaside walks.
This was probably the best-organized, best-equipped place I've ever stayed. Toys and games, bicycles, first-aid kit, extra linens ... just absolutely everything you could need or want. The property is very quiet and peaceful, but just a 7-minute walk to High St. We especially enjoyed the peaches and pears from the fruit trees.
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
Excellent stay at Elise's accommodation. Very spacious, well equipped, clean, well decorated and well located. We felt at home. Very nice outdoor as well. We didn’t use the bikes because of lack of time but it’s great to have access to them. Close (by car) to the Abel Tasman, Kaiteriteri and Marahau where we rented kayaks for the day. Elise advised us well for restaurants and activities. We highly recommend !
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 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.

Home was as described! I had everything I needed and had a very pleasant and comfortable stay. Great location - Near to Abel Tasman Park and Kaiteriteri water taxis.
Wonderful stay. The house is central and an easy drive to everything the area has to offer. Lots of thoughtful extras, e.g. beach gear and dog bowls. Will defintely be back, thanks Elise!
