White Elephant Accomodation is located in Motueka. You can enjoy garden view from the room and 1-hour free WiFi access per day.

Wonderful hostel. Helpful staff, beautiful old building but with really nice bunk houses in the garden, with its fruit trees, behind the main house. Almost park like. The kitchen was spacious and numerous bathrooms gave you the chance to find you favorite shower, which were clean and the water hot. Parking in front was shaded by the large trees so your car didn't cook. Laid back and enjoyed the interaction with other backpackers. Not to far a walk into town.

Located in Motueka, 1.1 miles from Motueka Saltwater Baths, Happy Apple Backpackers has accommodations with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace.

Good facilities in the kitchen and the lounge had a pool table and tv. Bathrooms and showers were clean. Kitchen fridges need to be cleaned more regularly and the freezer must be defrosted.

Located in Marahau, a 3-minute walk from Marahau Beach, Adventure Inn Marahau has accommodations with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and barbecue facilities.

We absolutely loved Adventure Inn Marahau!! We arrived early, and manager Mac made us feel welcome right away! We met some amazing people here, and even though it was raining all day on the first day we arrived, we were happy we spent our time here. There was plenty to do inside and we will recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a place to stay near Abel Tasman National Park!!

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    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.
