The Maruia Motel was perfect for our overnight stay between Abel Tasman and Christchurch. Whilst this trip can be made in a day the stopover at Maruia Motel meant the road was empty because we were a couple of hours ahead of the traffic. This little motel is well appointed, very quiet and very clean. Amber, our hostess, greeted us and made us feel very welcomed. We can only highly recommend a stay at the Maruia Motel.
