Fantastic accommodation in a beautiful peaceful setting ... to hear the birds and the running stream was so calming. A short stroll to an amazing beach with wonderful hosts. Could not ask for more.

Nat was a great host! Very welcoming, helping us navigate the property. She gave us all the instructions needed to have an excellent stay, and even let us help train the alpacas in the morning. The location was private and peaceful at night. It was like we were alone under the stars. We will never forget our time at Nat’s house truck.

Loved the motel & the floor to ceiling glass in the bedroom out to the peaceful garden. The motel was very quiet despite being located just off of the main road. Lisa, at reception was awesome & brought us a portable gas weber bbq to prepare our dinner. We liked everything about this motel, free washing machine for guests + it was very convenient & close to Takaka center. We'll definitely stay here again.

Featuring barbecue facilities, Anatoki Lodge Motel is set in Takaka, 11 mi from Golden Bay. Each accommodations at the motel has garden views and free WiFi.
A beautiful peaceful place. Well located for visiting Golden Bay, Abel Tasman and the fabulous Farewell Spit tour.
The waterfalls and springs are both beautiful.
If you visit on Mondays there are limited places to eat in the evening, so I would recommend making a reservation.

Very charming town.
Very charming town. Wish we could spend more time to explore shops and cafes. People are very kind and helpful.
We checked in late, but Mohua Motel manager found us units to stay and gave us a discount for the second night. In the morning, we were offered more clean towels in case we would like to go swimming.
We had dinner at Dangerous Kitchen. The food and the atmosphere are awesome.
My husband bought a new pair of shoes he loves at the fishing gear shop. The lady looked into the store room and found a right size for him.

Golden Bay has a lot to offer with quite a few boutique cafes in Takaka, lovely beaches, and interesting natural beauty including Te Waikoropupu Springs which has some of the world’s clearest water. Going further west through Collingwood to Farewell Spit a short walk to Wharariki Beach is well worth the effort.
A beautiful area well worth visiting.

It would have been very easy to fill in a couple of days around Takaka with visits to Farewell Spit, Anatoki Salmon Farm etc. Ample opportunities to eat and drink the local fare.
The drive into Golden Bay over the Takaka Hill also offered fantastic views and the chance to explore a limestone cave.
Waikoropupu Springs is a must do visit with great information provided.

The Golden Bay area of NZ has a very interesting past, both from a geographical point of view and a colonisation perspective (often directly linked). Gold, coal, iron ore, graphite, asbestos (!), paint and cement manufacture, all influenced the influx of early settlers and those seeking to make their fortunes!
Evidence of these past activities still remain making interesting exploration opportunities for visitors.
Natural phenomena such at the Waikoropupu Springs and Farewell Spit are certainly worth visiting, the latter being both an historic trip together with an opportunity to view present day wild life in the area.

I love everything about Takaka ..
I love everything about Takaka ..
Wholemeal Cafe and Soma have yummy food and great service .. the Roots bar is a nice place to hangout .. shops are cool ..The Grove is s must to visit... I come here every year ... have family here also
A rural location on a working farmlet, albeit the property is quite close to SH60. Takaka is ten minutes away. Very comfortable accommodation with a large well equipped lounge. The barbecue and deck gave us a couple of enjoyable evenings. The hosts were excellent as too were the breakfasts which largely consisted of produce from their farmlet. If you enjoy outdoor spa baths and swims, there's a real bonus outside. Thank you to Rene and Marianne.
Gorgeous view in a secluded spot. Very close to Abel Tasman for hiking and you can contact the management for a ride to the park so you can hike back to the greenie. The kitchen is well equipped, beds are comfortable and bathroom very clean (a very nice composting toilet setup they've clearly honed in). The outdoor bathtub is a great treat and has hot water. You're a half hour outside Takaka so bring your provisions for the stay and enjoy the view.
We greatly enjoyed this peaceful, relaxing stay at Rene and Marianne’s farm. We recommend the homemade pizza offering if available, it was so delicious. We also very much enjoyed the farm tour. The hosts grow or raise everything they use in the delicious breakfasts on the farm!
The BnB is a great base to explore Tākaka and surrounding beaches. Roots Bar is a great casual spot for a drink and dinner on the Main Street, about ten minutes away.

Lisa, at reception was awesome & brought us a portable gas weber bbq to prepare our dinner.

Eclectic little cluster of 4 chalets well maintained right outside of Tanaka (short 1 km walk on paved trail into town). Wonderful, welcoming owners who see after everything with great detail. Originally booked here because Kaiteriteri over the hill had nothing left, but would stay in Golden Bay again in heart beat. Nice drive to Totaranui on easy gravel road to take water taxi to Abel Tasman.
Location up in the hills behind Takaka was perfect for what we wanted - days out and relaxing evenings with home cooked food. Kitchen was brilliantly equipped. The extension/sun room added space to the living area to enjoy the view and had the added protection from wind provided by the clear roller blinds on 3 sides. We enjoyed the outdoor bath and BBQ as well.
This may have been the most beautiful place we've ever stayed. The huge windows facing the water...allowing you to see the beauty from the bedroom, living room, dining room/kitchen were fabulous. The commitment to recycling was great. The outdoor tub....looking over the hills and water (with a glass of wine in hand)...was a piece of heaven.
This was a gorgeous and well executed set up in a lovely location. The hosts are super lovely, warm welcoming and funny. They have thought of all the details to make the stay comfortable and lovely. The location is so handy to Abel Tasman national park and the local township of Takaka. We loved everything about our stay.
We enjoyed our stay here wish we could have stayed longer though. Our room was just perfect for our needs very clean and tidy. Comfy bed and we sat out on the balcony the day we arrived and watched the suset with a hot cup ot tea. Staff so helpful and gave recommendations on where to eat. Town close to hotel.
Amazing location ten mins drive from Takaka with exceptional view down to coast. Complete privacy in bush. Friendly, relaxed hosts and great optional extras - massage was fab!
We loved our stay in Chalet Karaka. It was comfortable, very private and lovely having the trees right outside.
Golden Bay is beautiful and Takaka has great places to eat.
really nice outside area to eat and chill in, very close to town (although it’s hard to be far from town since it is so tiny), and they gave us a huge room!
Only a short drive in to central Takaka. Beautifully presented facilities, very clean and tidy. Host was very friendly amd helpful. A great place to stay
