The property has a lake which has been turned into a pool area and it's an awesome spot to hang out. BBQ, speaker, beer fridge, rope swing, loungers, jetty, I could go on! The location is brilliant, perfect base for exploring the area. Would recommend NZ's oldest pub just down the road. Suc a lovely place to stay. Nothing

Our stay at Yvette's guest house was fantastic. It is small and cozy, but had everything we needed. The location was perfect for us - private and peaceful, but still close to everything we needed. Yvette was an absolute star, very responsive and making sure we had everything we needed. We will absolutely stay there again next time we are back in the area.

We absolutely loved our stay. The location was excellent for starting the Abel Tasman trek. Having the lake with the stand up paddle boards was incredible, and Yvette was a super responsive and friendly host. We needed a different bedding configuration and Yvette responded promptly, bringing along her lovely dogs for support :) We will definitely be back!

Everything could not fault a single thing. Location and scenery absolutely unbelievable. Accommodation was one of the best have ever stayed in with all amenities you could imagine needing thought of. The Owners and Staff were so genuine and helpful and made us feel very welcomed. If or when we return to New Zealand again we will be staying here. Nada

Wir waren vier Nächte hier und haben uns vom ersten Moment an sehr wohl gefühlt. Der Blick vom Haus auf die Landschaft ist atemberaubend, das Areal der Blue Lagoon sehr originell und gemütlich und die Wohnung ist blitzblank. Die Gastgeber haben wirklich an jegliche Ausstattung gedacht, die man benötigen könnte. Man merkt auf dem ganzen Areal, dass hier viel Zeit und Leidenschaft investiert wurden. Leider hat es just an dem einen Tag geregnet, an dem wir an der Lagoon mehr Zeit verbringen wollten - aber dafür können die Gastgeber nichts. Ansonsten liegt die Unterkunft zentral um zum Strand, in die Stadt, oder in den Nationalpark zu kommen. Wir haben Yvette und Ross kurz kennen gelernt und einen angenehmen Plausch gehabt. Absolute Empfehlung für einen kurzen oder auch längeren Aufenthalt, wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen! Vielen Dank

We absolutely loved our 3 night stay and only wish we could’ve stayed for longer! The views are utterly incredible and you can enjoy them from both the accommodation and down by the pond - we made sure to make full use of these facilities and they didn’t disappoint! The space itself has everything you need and there’s plenty of room, it’s also well located for Abel Tasman National Park and Motueka itself is lovely - we would highly recommend booking!

We spent a lovely 2 nights at Yvette's. The area was beautiful with great views over the surrounding mountains and it was a quick drive to restaurants and cafes in town and to Abel Tasman park. We enjoyed sitting by the pond in the evening and watching the sunset. The apartment was spacious and had all the amenities you could need. Would definitely recommend!

Sehr großes, gemütliches Apartment mit toller Terrasse. Die Aussicht und die Lage sind außergewöhnlich. Auch die Anfahrt nach Kaiteriteri und Abel Tasman Nationalpark ist mit 20 bis 30 Minuten gut zu bewältigen. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt! Alles gut!

Beautiful property, kids loved the pond, grounds, and trampoline. Apartment was clean, spacious, with comfortable beds. We all wished we had more time here. Convenient location and beautiful views right from the deck!
