Cabins on Tudor bed & breakfast

Äusserst originelles und liebevoll eingerichtetes B&B an perfekter Lage, um den Abel Tasman NP zu besuchen und um am Abend zu Fuss essen zu gehen. Das B&B liegt in sehr ruhiger Umgebung in einem parkähnlichen Garten und ist mit grosser Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Unsere Gastgeberin war sehr herzlich und liebenswürdig und hatte immer Zeit für ein kleines Gespräch. Ihre Tipps waren sehr nützlich und hilfreich. Man fühlte sich super aufgehoben und willkommen.

Stayed in main house with own ensuite beautifully decorated . Feels like being the the country but your in the suburbs. Super comfy bed with lovely linen slept like a dream.. good place for a extended family as as lovely other cabins all with own space. Nice area for breaky and Leigh was lovely host giving tips for dining out and places to see.

Leigh is a wonderful host, and her home felt like a warm hug! It's so cosy, and there is so much to discover on the property! I felt like I was in a museum! Leigh had put so much attention to detail in the style and decoration of her property. I felt so relaxed and really enjoyed if

Beautiful cottage which was tastefully decorated. Situated by a small stream it was very refreshing and relaxing.

Freundliche Gastgeberin. Das Zimmer war sauber, doch sehr klein und Dusche/WC war wirklich klein und nicht einmal mit einem Haartrockner ausgestattet (beim Nachfragen, musste ich mit anderen Gästen einen teilen). Diese Unterkunft kann man empfehlen, wenn man den grossen Garten schätzt.

Wir sind lange in Neuseeland unterwegs und dies ist die einzige Unterkunft wo uns wirklich enttäuscht hat, da Preis/Leistung überhaupt nicht gestimmt hat. Es war die teuerste Unterkunft, welche wir buchten und der Allgemein-Bereich inklusive Frühstücksbereich war nicht wirklich sauber und wurde nie gereinigt in dieser Woche. Wir waren eine Woche da und in dieser Zeit wurde das Zimmer nie gereinigt. (Das Zimmer war wirklich sauber, darüber waren wir froh.)

Leigh was fabulous, and this property is gorgeous. We felt like we were in our own little private jungle, watching birds and fish, etc. It was quiet and peaceful and lovely. The room was comfortable and had everything we needed. The breakfast was great too - hard boiled eggs, fresh fruit from the property, instant coffee, etc. and we were able to access it whenever we needed to.

Our shared bathroom was just one bathroom with toilet and shower, and we had to share the first night with a couple other guests. That wasn't ideal, but we got lucky that we were the only guests booked to use that bathroom for most of our stay. We also did not have a rental car, and there are no ubers in the area. While we did take an uber from the Nelson airport, we had to hire an official taxi on the way back, which was more expensive. (There are buses, but timing, distance to walk to stops, etc. = no thanks). While there is waterfront nearby, there isn't a beach to speak of, just a walking trail (which is gorgeous!!). So, I feel like as long as you have a car, and are aware of these things ahead of time, they're not really problems. This place was mostly great!

We loved this bed and breakfast with its beautiful gardens, communicative owner with her friendly cat and dog, and nicely furnished cabins within walking distance to the Sunday market. Restaurants and grocery store nearby.

I wasn't a fan of sharing the outside bathroom with another cabin as we were leaving early in the morning and I had trouble accessing the toilet and shower the evening before we left.

Alles - und der knuddelige Hund George , der enorm lieb ist . Dazu ist Leigh eine hervorragende Gasteberin . Das Frühstück in diesem einzigartigen Garten auf der bedachten Terrasse lies nichts zu wünschen übrig. Kurz alles ist unvergesslich schön .

Leigh is very welcoming and her property is immersed in nature, comfortable and very relaxing. Very good breakfast.

Healthy, fresh and generous breakfast. Peaceful setting. Very friendly and helpful host. Good cooking facilities provided.

Leigh was a great host - nothing was too much trouble and she made my stay very comfortable and easy. Lovely area with good options for eating out as well as having the Abel Tasman National Park on the doorstep with all its beautiful amenities.

The cabin is a roughly 8 foot by 16 foot portable structure. The layout is quite efficient and the cooking / cleaning area very effectively laid out. One feature which some travellers may not like is that toilet is accessed by leaving the 'living' area and walking 10 feet to a separate structure. We actually very much liked this feature because when using the 'facilities' once or twice in a night, it gave us the opportunity to look up and check out the night sky which on two of the three nights we stayed there, was absolutely spectacular. One important note which the operators do stress is that there is no stores nearby so make sure you bring all your provisions for cooking. Also do bring 3 litres per person per day for drinking as a commonsense safety precaution. Finally the restaurant mentioned nearby the location is wonderful but only open on weekends for much of the year. It makes for a wonderful main meal midday, supplemented by your own provisions or cooking for the evening.

We stayed in the boathouse, perfect for a family of four. Cozy cabin, cool garden and common areas and great outdoor dining/chillng spaces. The shared bathroom is very fresh and we loved our little private veranda in the shade where you could also feed the eels!

Lieve host, prachtig plekje

Lovely, quiet b&b with a very friendly and helpful owner. The rooms were lovely and beds super comfortable. Gardens gorgeous.

The host was very welcoming and laid back. We felt very much at home in this little oasis and used Motueka as a resting point after the Abel Tasman.

Nice having some outdoor living space in a pretty and laid back garden area, and very comfortable beds.

Bugs at night - when outdoors - were a little more friendly than we would prefer but overall a wonderful space.

Allt. Välorganiserat, mysiga cabins, härliga uteplatser, fint utekök, supertrevlig och vänlig värdinna, go värdhund och skön vibe.

Inget

Es ist eine besondere Location mit viel Liebe zu den kleinen Dingen, die Gastgeberin ist äußerst freundlich und hilfsbereit, und es gibt einen sehr lieben aber teilweise ungestümen (verspielten) Hund namens George

Bei dem Frühstück haben Wurst und Käse gefehlt, aber sonst sehr gut

The lodgings were really characterful, comfy and peaceful.

No complaints.

L'accueil Leigh et de Georges (et Arthur) ainsi que le confort de la cabine ont rendu notre séjours exceptionnel! Nous étions en pleine nature même si nous étions en plein milieu de la ville! Vous pouvez manger votre dîner dehors en admirant le jardin et en écoutant les nombreux oiseaux. C'est un petit paradis bien dissimulé 😎

Rien!

Absolutely loved the setting and ambiance of the place. Everything was exceedingly well appointed. It is quite unique, filled with interesting objects of decor.

N/A

Charming! The hostess made me feel so very welcome and was wonderful about checking in to make sure I had everything I needed; so kind and caring. The house and the tiny cabins on the property are lovely, private, very cozy, and filled with fun little treasures sprinkled throughout. I loved the a la carte breakfast setup! It was such a fun patio kitchenette for all the guests to gather and share their travel stories of this incredible country. The property is very close to Abel Tasman National Park. I recommend renting an e-bike and riding the Great Taste Trail in either direction. My only complaint is that I spent more time relaxing at the property than doing all the sightseeing I planned. There are just so many lovely little vignettes around the property, which is surrounded by gorgeous landscaping, and oh, there’s even a she-shed …bring a good book, just in case you want to do the same :o))

The garden setting of the 'cabins' or 'sheds' is beautiful.

I booked a 'double room' but we were allocated the very small twin 'garden shed' upon our arrival. Not only was the separate bathroom shared but it was an exterior building a short distance through the garden. It was not fun walking there during the night when it was raining!! For our 2nd & 3rd nights we were moved to a larger double cabin which was closer to the bathroom, across the deck. Breakfast was self-serve on a verandah & did not provide any more than what we were carrying with us, having stayed in motels eg pieces of fruit, cereal, toast & boiled eggs. There was no tea & coffee here but at an external, rustic 'kitchen' facility. Again, not good when it was raining.

Relaxed. Comfortable. Welcoming. Charming. A really lovely place to enjoy the gardens, to chat with others over a delicious generous breakfast, and so convenient to everything in the area. Thanks Leigh !

Charming BnB right in the heart of things. Tucked away in a quiet location on a larger property. Very nice owner and host. Includes a nice breakfast in the AM. I stayed in a cottage with shared bath and it was clean and easy. Only shared with one other unit, so always had toilet and shower as needed. 20 minutes by car to Kaiteriteri, so good base location for the park and other activities in the area. Highly recommended!

everything was very nice

Leigh was a fabulous hostess, making us very welcome and fitting in with all our requests without a hitch. Our Cozy Suite was large and very comfortable as was the bed. The ensuite was fine with a relatively new fit-out. The location of the B & B was perfect for our needs and the home itself was large and comfortable as were the outside decks and facilities. All in all this was the bet B & B we have stayed at and we have stayed at quite a few.

NOTHING

Super hospitality, host is an angel, quiet spot in a thriving seaside community. All you need is here, and beautiful gardens to boot. Thank you Leigh for a memorable stay.

A home away from home. The boat shed cabin was cosy. We all loved the gardens and the outdoor kitchen and dining area. The boys loved the stream and watching the eels. 2 days and we didn't want to leave.

Nothing it was heavenly.

Only booked here for one night as a fairly last minute change of plans and truly wish I could have stayed for a few days! The BnB is super cute, easy access to Abel Tasman, feels very isolated in a well maintained garden, the host (Leigh) was exceedingly welcoming and friendly, and the breakfast was a nice spread of toast with marmalade or marmite, hard boiled eggs, oatmeal, some fresh fruit, yogurt, juices milk and coffee.

Nothing! Truly wish we could have stayed here for several more days!

A magic place…

Stayed in the house with a small ensuite bathroom. The photos are accurate. We really enjoyed the whimsical decorations, beautiful garden setting, very quiet location yet close proximity to town (walked in for dinner each night). We also liked the reasonable variety of cereal, yogurt and fruit and good coffee for breakfast and the porch eating space.

The sink in the bathroom was a bit small and the towels a bit rough, but these are minor things easily overlooked in the unique space that is fun and not like your average motel room.

Nice garden, very clean (bathroom and room).

Hard to find and can use some maintenance/cleaning up. Also dangerous gardening tools laying around.

Leigh is an amazing hostess... super friendly, warm, and welcoming. She made us feel completely at home, gave suggestions about the local area, and chatted to us about life in New Zealand. Our cabin with a garden view was very cosy and had comfortable beds, which we loved sleeping in. It is set in a beautiful garden. We enjoyed exploring Motueka, had a fabulous day at the Abel Tasman National Park, and at Kaiteriteri Beach. We would recommend Leigh's place.

Nothing

Owner (Leigh) was a fabulous, friendly, helpful, lovely woman. George (dog) is delightful, and we all enjoyed his company. A uniquely peaceful property. Plenty of birds singing to wake up to. Comfortable beds, fabulous indoor and outdoor shower. Fabulous location, walking distance to town centre. Overall we (6 adults) really enjoyed our 2 night stay. Off street parking

The property was beautiful and the setting gorgeous. We were made to feel at home and relaxed from the first second.

It was a shame to leave.

Leigh gave us a warm and friendly welcome to her and delightful home. The accomodation was spacious and full of visual treats. Would recommend highly.

The location was very central to all of our plans. It was quiet; beautifully landscaped in a lovely private space; bed was comfortable; room had space to sit and relax. Small bathroom and wonderfully laid out for all our needs. Leigh was delightful and so accommodating to all of our requests and conversation. Lots of options for different types of travelers. Very unique space and wonderful host.

A few more knickknacks around than I would have preferred. Worried I would break something and limited space a bit for personal items. More heat/warmth in the breakfast area:).

Lovely bedroom / cabin in the garden of the owner's house with deck. Basic breakfast served on the veranda of the owner's house. Beautiful night sky when going to the outside toilet! Leigh is a very friendly host.

If you need to get up in the night it is a bit inconvenient using the outside facilities. The property is poorly signposted and off the main street up a lane so not easy to find without Siri or Google maps.

Owner

We absolutely fell in love with the property, tasteful decoration and stunning surroundings

Very charmful and cosy Cabin. If you are looking for a unusual and amazing accomodation. you are absolutely right. Leigh is a perfect host. We enjoied very much.

We loved the our cabin, the potting shed! The cottage was cute, cozy, and had great windows and patio. We also appreciated the additional tables and sofa incorporated into a small area. The bed was so comfortable as well!

The breakfast was the only thing that was slightly lacking. We loved the fresh fruit, but the other options were limited.

We loved the fresh air, the fresh, homey but very clean feel of the cabin, the private terrace, the bathroom and shared outdoor areas. Leigh is lovely and accommodating. We even made friends with the eels in the brook. Breakfast was relaxed, fresh and had everything we needed.

Mosquitos. But I am not sure that can be helped. Perhaps screens on a window or two?

Very nice place and very kind and helpful host. Slept like an angel. The bed was so good and the room nice with a very good atmosphere.

Nothing

Leigh was so sweet and helpful and the grounds were beautiful!

The location was just a little difficult to find at first. Just figure how to update google maps or website.

Lovely decor in the cabins and the house is lovely. Leigh is a wonderful host - I would highly recommending staying if you like a quirky, out of the way & quiet stay. Easy to find and good parking too.

Lovely hostess, kind, helpful. The cabin had an amazing decoration. Beds were comfortable.

Beautiful place and very friendly and kind host , room was beautifully decorated and we felt at home , breakfast was nice too

Surprised to find out that we had to share the bathroom and shower , but it all went well

Very warm and friendly welcoming. Leigh gave us ideas what to do and where to have dinner. The garden, the quiet and peaceful surrounding, the little garden huts, everything was just wonderful and unique. We enjoyed the stay very much and intend to come back. Thank you Leigh😃

Our sweet family cabin, the breakfast spread each morning, private patio, shared garden with ample space to enjoy, we had the option to self-cater and cook for ourselves in the outdoor kitchen and mingle with other guests in shared spaces. The cabins on Tudor are quiet, walking distance to Motueka high street and are an ideal base to explore the surrounding attractions. Leah is the ultimate host and so accommodating. A hidden gem, stay if you can!

Excellent host with really fabulous accommodation that was both thoughtfully and tastefully maintained. Beds were great and the linen was superb.

Breakfast is very basic but plentiful.

Nice details, clean shared shower and bathroom, friendly host, beautiful garden

Cluttered und unkempt ground around the parking area, giving a slightly neglected feel.

Leigh is a great host. The room/suite was exceptional - beautifully appointed, comfy, clean.

Beautiful garden setting and lovely owner. Everything always clean and comfortable! Very beautiful experience.

Shared bathrooms outside of the cabins but you will know in advance when you book anyway.

It is an excellent cozy accommodation at a strategic point in Motueka for visiting Abel Tasman NP. Delicious breakfast, marvelous gardens on the property & really 👍 sleeping!!! Close to town center Motueka & all facilities. Our host was so kind, care-giving with her clients & discrete. Arthur, the cat was magnificent!!!

location, breakfast

nothing

Beautifully appointed cabins/sheds/huts in the gardens & a smart, clean bathroom block (but shared among 8). Very quiet area.

Very expensive for what it was - weren't told the toilet & bathroom facilities (shared among 8 people!) were in the garden, requiring a considerable trek across wet grass in the dark. Asked for torches but was told no one used them these days! Very cold the first night - needed extra blankets. One outside loo with dirty outside washbasin and one smart bathroom block next to the house, but a long way from us, in the middle of the garden. Poorly lit where we were. Breakfast fairly disappointing - not much on offer. Owner difficult to find.

The area was very quite making the stay peaceful. The host was very friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. The accommodation was cozy with everything you needed, the outside area was very nice and the gardens were well cared for

No comment.

Absolutely adored it. Full of character.

Our hostess, Lee, was wonderful and friendly and the cabins and bathrooms were nicely appointed. Breakfast and chatting with our hostess and other guests were the highlight of our stay! Quiet and off the main road.

Having to leave!

breakfast was very good....great coffee. Loved being in the boatshed in Lees beautiful garden. So quiet and relaxed. A really inspirational place to stay.Well appointed outdoor cooking area but need to know that the cabin accommodation does not have ensuite bathrooms. Great central location and Lee is delightful.

Arthur the cat could have loved us more..haha!

Loved the vibe, the room, the garden, the host

Shower could have been hotter, breakfast could have been a bit more diverse

Amazing place with stunning gardens, and beautiful and confortable cabins. Decorated with taste. Great host.

Only one full bathroom outside of the cabins for all the guests. Would be great to have one more. Something hot like eggs and sausage for breakfast was missing.

Location.

The breakfast didn't meet our expectations for a bed and "breakfast." However, we have learned that the NZ breakfast at an NZ B and B is pretty consistent with what our host served.

This is a wonderful place to stay. Leigh’s created an oasis of small cabins set in a comfortable community. We loved staying there!

Leigh was an exceptional host. Wonderfully unique accommodation set in beautiful gardens. Felt like we were staying with a friend. If we ever manage back to this part of New Zealand we will stay for longer.

Nothing.
