We had a excellent time at Linda’s place in Motueka. Linda and Colin are very accommodating, approachable and hospitable hosts who did everything to make us feel at home. One night, they even invited us to have dinner with them.
The Little Room is very cosy and actually not that little at all. The bed is very comfortable and the shared bathroom in the main house was spotlessly clean.
The room has a little kitchenette with a kettle, a sink and a mini-fridge. Cooking, however, is not possible in the room. After arranging with Linda, we were allowed to use the toaster in her kitchen in the morning and to cook a light dinner one night. Thus, if you are a fan of cooking your own meals every day, this place might not be ideal for you.
Apart from the cooking bit, though, we can only highly recommend Linda’s place, as, overall, it offers a much better value for money than most other backpackers’ lodges and hostels we’ve seen in NZ so far.
Thanks again for having us!
