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.

Awesome location, very close to town centre, great view
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
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.
Although our glamping tent was only about 10 minutes out of Takaka, it was set in a clearing surrounded by bush, so had a lovely remote feeling. The outdoor kitchen, shower and toilet were quirky but very functional and added to the fun experience. The tent was very well set up and was roomy and comfortable. Camilla was very welcoming and ensured that we had everything we needed for our stay.
This accommodation was one of the most beautiful I have ever been to.
The fact that the bathroom is shared does not affect it at all, because it is shared with only three rooms and the bathroom was cleaner than in a 4-star hotel. The house and the surroundings of the house were a little piece of paradise. The owners are great and very nice. Thank you for sharing this beautiful place.
- clean
- studio had everything you needed for a short or even long stay!
- the bathroom is beautiful and whilst others have complained about it not being directly connected to the bedroom, it's literally two foot steps away and you are still in your own covered private area
- few minutes drive to takaka shops and restaurants whilst still feeling close to nature
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.
This is a lovely little backpackers in the hippie town of Tākaka. The staff were very friendly, everything was very clean and it had everything you needed. We stayed between doing the Heaphy and Abel Tasman tracks, a good pit stop for this kind of thing!
The motel was close walking distance to town, very comfortable+++ with everything you needed for an enjoyable stay. The staff were helpful and cheerful. Highly recommend this motel for families
The breakfast Mark made each morning was fantastic. Great to take advantage of the jetted tub in the spa room as well. Great location, a short walk from the several restaurants in Takaka.
Location ideal for our weekend in Takaka and Pohara. Accommodation was really good as was the continental breakfast.
Hosts were very friendly and most helpful where needed.
