Anyone visiting the south islands should try and get to Motueka to spend some time here. We had an incredible one night stay in Tessa and Remko's yurt and wish we had stayed longer. From a warm welcome to a wholesome breakfast in the morning with fruit picked from their garden, Tessa and her lovely family were very welcoming The yurt itself is awesome and very well equipped, not to mention being surrounded by scenery. We loved feeling that little bit closer to nature and learning about and experiencing this sustainable little village in the mountain. This was a highlight of our entire new zealand adventure.
