Jill & Steve are wonderful hosts! Their house is incredibly beautiful and well maintained.
They have a few pets which are all adorable and friendly.
It’s walking distance to the Main Street with all shops, restaurants, cafes, etc.
It’s a great location to explore the golden Bay Area. We can leave Motueka without hitting any traffic.
The room doesn’t not have a kitchen (just a mini fridge, a kettle and a toaster) but Jill & Steve let us use their kitchen and microwave any time we needed. They also let us use their washing machine and their fantastic hot tub and sauna!
They are friendly and always up for a chat but also respect their guests privacy and we never heard anything whenever we were upstairs in the room.
The only drawback is the lack of separation. It is a studio, so just one large room with a toilet and shower in a corner hidden by a four panel fabric screen... so one needs to be very intimate with whoever you stay and it gets tricky to put kids to bed and wind out for the day unless you stay on the balcony as we did every night.
