G’day, Willkommen, Bienvenido, Welcome to Awatea Tasman Bay
However you say Haere Mai!
Welcome to one of the prettiest views in New Zealand – overlooking the beautiful Motueka River and out across Tasman Bay. At Awatea Tasman Bay’s boutique accommodation we offer you the opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle of daily living, or your hectic New Zealand holiday schedule, and relax in private, quality surroundings, while staying in stylish, modern, boutique accommodation.
Here you can enjoy stunning panorama views of Tasman Bay, the Motueka River and Moutere Valleys, Kina Peninsula, Nelson and Arthur mountain ranges, and across the bay to Nelson – all while relaxing in the comfort of this newly built, custom-designed eco-friendly boutique lodge on 25 private acres of rural beauty.
Awatea Tasman Bay provides the perfect Nelson holiday accommodation base, close to Motueka and Kaiteriteri, for day trips into the Abel Tasman National Park, Farewell Spit, and Kahurangi National Park. And you can easily explore the interesting towns of Golden Bay such as Takaka, our local town, Motueka, and the city of Nelson (it takes about 10 minutes to drive to Motueka and 50 minutes to Nelson).

Awatea Tasman Bay’s Boutique Motueka Accommodation Choices
Designed with your comfort as top priority, Awatea Tasman Bay offers a choice of boutique Motueka accommodation that is an ideal base for exploring the popular Abel Tasman National Park, at the top of New Zealand’s beautiful South Island.
As a guest at Awatea Tasman Bay, you have access to all our on-site facilities, no matter which accommodation you choose.
Luxury Cottage Accommodation
If you are looking for complete privacy and touches of luxury – perhaps to celebrate your special anniversary, birthday, or honeymoon – then you may wish to consider staying in our self-catering Cottage accommodation.
Our charming Cottage is a one-bedroom, self-contained, private accommodation building. It is newly built, using eco-friendly and sustainably sourced solid timber. It is the perfect spot for a couple on holiday, or maybe a romantic getaway, where you can choose to self-cater, dine out at one of the nearby local Motueka restaurants, or bring back some delicious take-away meals to enjoy.
Boutique Bed & Breakfast Accommodation
You can stay in our boutique Guest House Bay View Bed & Breakfast Suite – featuring expansive east-facing views over the Motueka River Valley and Tasman Bay.
This B&B suite is located in our boutique Guest House – built to the same high quality accommodation level as our self-catering Cottage accommodation. Solid timber that has been tastefully whitewashed is a stunning feature of every room, as are the large openable windows that offer such beautiful rural views.
