Abel Tasman Motel Motueka

Motueka

I echo a few other reviews in that the unit I stayed in was not what I expected from the pictures. I had an en-suite in the lodge. You get a fridge and microwave, but the fridge was broken and all our food was frozen even on the lowest setting. When we checked in, the lady was really really nice but it seems she is overworked. There is a communal kitchen but the stove tops don’t emit enough heat to transfer through a pan, so dont plan to cook anything on a stove top. Didn’t try the bbq but looked new ish. The plants are not watered and the whole place is very tired. On our last night we were kept up till 1am from the noise in the unit next to us as the walls are paper thin. It was a really good price but wasnt what we expected at all and it’s the first time I’ve thought of leaving to try and find another place to stay. There were a few big cockroaches that we had to get rid of but that is what you get in an old motel in Downtown. The location is great for people going to Abel Tasman park as it only took us 20 minutes to get to Marahau! Hopefully this place gets a face lift soon and the lady working gets some much needed help! I would stay here for one night if I needed to but would likely try to avoid it.

Unexpected

This motel is in a good location in Motueka in a quiet neighborhood, and upon arrival, I was greeted by friendly staff.  I stayed in a clean private room w / ensuite bath, which was quite comfortable.  The room has a fridge, microwave, dishes, hot water pot, toaster, coffee, tea, milk, & sugar in the room.  If you plan to spend most of your time in Marahau and/or Abel Tasman Nat’l Park, note that Motueka is a 30-40min drive.  You’ll need to book a shuttle with one of the operators in advance, which picks you up from Motueka then takes you to the park in the morning then back in the afternoon. Otherwise, make sure you have your own vehicle if you want more flexibility.  Overall, this is a clean, affordable place to stay in the Abel Tasman area for a night or two, esp. if you want to relax after lots of hiking in the park.

Affordable place to stay in Abel Tasman area

We were only here for a night, that was enough. The place was clean enough but there was something seriously wrong with the floor in the toilet, it was swollen that much that the door could hardly shut. It felt like you could fall through, very spongy. There was no smoke alarm, it had been taken down and the piece it screwed onto was still there. The woman never had note from the booking place to say we had changed the day, either that or she had lost the email! I slept in the double bed and it was comfortable but it smelt a bit like someone had been sick beside it. It was close to town so that was something, you could walk.

Stayed here for 1 night

The kitchen sets are outdated but functional, WiFi is free even though rather slow, however I'm enjoying the clean room for taking a rest after visiting the large national park. The staff are nice and helpful.

Clean room and affordable

We couldn't cook a meal due to dirty stuff in the kitchen. The unit was outdated and poorly furnitured, the beds were not comfortable. The carpets had not been cleaned properly. It didn't feel comfortable nor safe.
