Set in Motueka, 1.7 km from Motueka Saltwater Baths, Happy Apple Backpackers offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace.

Perfect for what we needed; an overnight stay to break up a road trip. Kids loved the outdoor space to play. Plenty of parking and staff friendly and helpful. Well equiped kitchen and fridge space for groceries. Perfect location and next to the lovely Toad Hall Cafe too.

Situated on the edge of the Abel Tasman National Park The Barn Cabins & Camp offers guests shared accommodation in a natural bush setting. Socialise by the BBQ or over a game of billiards.

The cabins are lovely and clean (if a tiny bit on the small size - absolutely fine for a couple of nights though). Wonderful location (couldn't be better really) and staff were really excellent too. Great value for money.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location. A good size kitchen/living area with seperate bedroom and a large bathroom. Everything in the apartment needed for a home away from home. Heated quickly on chilly days.

    the backpackers was family friendly with a child’s playground, trampoline, pool table and many board games. Well equipped kitchen, BBQ area and beds are comfy. Bathrooms are new and clean. A quirky stay in a prime location. The receptionist was taking care of the property while her daughter was away and made sure we felt comfortable and safe and even offered us an extra bike lock while we were staying.
