This cottage with view porch is pre-fab housing, efficiently constructed to use solar power and filtered and UV-treated rainwater. There is a vegetable greenhouse on the property and the hosts are generous in sharing produce. The bathroom and kitchen are modern and clean. The bed is large and superb.
The place is next-door to the fabled Motueka River for fly-fishing enthusiasts; and, it is only about a 15 min. drive to Motueka city center and its Sunday Market.
Situated on a hillside, automobile parking is at the bottom of a 50 meter up-or-down walk...although temporary loading and unloading at the top is easily done. WiFi reception had dropouts, something the host is working to update. In the South Island, I found that I often needed to rely on a data/hotspot E-sim in my iPhone over the locally available WiFi.
If you are capable of a short hillside walk to car parking, this is an excellent place to stay...in my mind superior to being in Motueka town.
