Elaine's cabin is located near the Motueka golf course, in a nice and quiet neighborhood.
Motueka is a small town, so the New World supermarket, the i-site (tourist information office) and other conveniences are not far.
The cabin is completely separated from the main house, in the backyard. Right outside the door there is a bistro table and two chairs, so you can enjoy the garden while drinking coffee. The room is bright and airy, pleasantly decorated in a nautical theme in blue and white.
There is a large TV with cable/satelite channels, a fridge, microwave, kettle, toaster, all in working order. The bathroom has an excellent shower with handheld head, sink and toilet. Everything is super clean.
In guise of breakfast, there are two kind of cereal, coffee, tea, 3 kinds of fruit jam, oleo and milk.
There are also two comfortable chairs in the room, together with a clothes rack and hangers (which many other rentals don't offer).
Motueka is very convenient for visiting Abel Tasman national park, and in my opinion a far better location than sprawling Nelson.
I wish I stayed longer at Elaine's cabin, and if I return, I would definitely seek availability here first.
