Location is perfect for Motueka - 2 minutes by car from the centre of town and within easy driving distance from Abel Nelson National Park. The included breakfast included bread, a variety of spreads, yoghurt, muesli and fruit. Carmen very kindly takes care of the dishes while you're out and restocks the fridge each day. Check in and check out are super easy, with access codes provided in advance allowing you to arrive any time. The gardens and surrounds are beautiful and the pool was absolutely amazing after a day of driving and hiking. Carmen and Max have thought of everything, with separate beach/pool towels provided, towel, floor and wall heating in the bathroom, shampoo, conditioner, soap, sunscreen, Aerogard and first aid kit in the bathroom, super fast wifi (200mbs/250mbs up/down!) with smart TV and full block out curtains on the main window. Would love to come back and stay again.

The hosts were absolutely lovely and very accommodating. Everything was clean. Lots of foody bits for breakfast. Had lots of facilities you could use including outdoor pool which was perfect on a hot day. Would 1000% stay again.

Loved the location—so close to Kaiteriteri! The hosts were absolutely lovely and incredibly thoughtful, ensuring the room was stocked with everything we could possibly need. From continental breakfasts to swimming towels, insect repellents, and other little extras, every detail was carefully considered to make our stay enjoyable. We truly appreciated the care they put into everything. We would have loved to make use of their pool and yard if the weather had been better during our stay. The property being near the road wasn’t an issue at all, as it wasn’t a particularly busy one. The hosts lived just above the room, so we occasionally heard footsteps and such, but it wasn’t a big deal. Overall, a lovely stay! <3

Great stay at the Birch Tree - lovely self contained apartment with everything I needed. Good location for accessing Abel Tasman. Carmen & Max were great hosts

Stayed in December 2024

Definitely one of the nicest stays we had during our 4 week trip so not much room for improvement.

Accommodation is really well thought out and Carmen and Max have added some great touches to make it stand out. Even the little things like the digital lock so you aren’t constantly worrying about where you put the keys when you are out and about. Allocated parking was particularly welcome as was a fly-drive trip and the complimentary breakfast was handy.

Breakfast was available in the kitchenette in the room. Continental breakfast with fruit, muesli, bread, jam, honey, milk, orange juice. A good start for the day. Some cheese would have been nice. A great place to discover Abel Tasman National Parc and feasable ro drive to Franz Josef. Very friendly host.

This was one of the best accomodations we have stayed in, on our around NZ trip. From our communication with the host, until we packed up and left, everything was spot on. It was spotlessly clean, warm, very comfortable, everything had been thought about with such care. Highly recommend it to anyone going to be in the area for a few nights
