Wow what a great stay at this lovely motel in the tiniest village I've ever been to. We got a very friendly welcome from the young couple that run the motel. It was weekend so we could make use of the school's playground in the village and our todler loved that. We also wandered through the forest to a nice creek, which our little one loved. We decided to order a diner at the motel which was very tasteful! Would absolutely recommend if you're planning a stop from Abel Tasman to Christchurch.
