Warm, welcoming and friendly staff, who went out of their way to make our stay exceptional. Beautiful restored and maintained historic building, including great wooden features, and interesting collection of all sorts pictures and objects, nicely displayed. Our spacious on-suite downstairs front room had a fireplace, generous supply of wood, comfortable chairs and bed. The fire was lit for us every evening. Excellent, generous and healthy breakfast, including great fruit salad and local eggs. Personal use of the kitchen, including fridge space, was encouraged. There is also a TV room, containing a variety of board games (we didn't use it on this occasion). Great information folder on the history of the house, and local knowledge about places of interest in Golden Bay. We could park right in front of the house. Overall a great base to explore Golden Bay in various directions.

The House Truck itself is wonderfully quirky with lots of interessting details and features - especially the outdoor hottub. We spend an entire evening stargazing in it. Nat and Grant are great hosts. The breakfast was fabulous and we got lots of helpful information. In combination with the location in what felt like the middle of nowhere, it truly was like a whole nother world.

A lovely comfortable and spacious room, with lovely views. The room and bathroom was very clean with lovely toiletries. The kitchenette had all the facilities that we needed. Very central to Takaka, only a few minutes walk. A great base to explore the bay. Laundry facilities a bonus and there was a bbq area that looked great. Hosts were very friendly.
A beautiful peaceful place. Well located for visiting Golden Bay, Abel Tasman and the fabulous Farewell Spit tour.
The waterfalls and springs are both beautiful.
If you visit on Mondays there are limited places to eat in the evening, so I would recommend making a reservation.

Very charming town.
Very charming town. Wish we could spend more time to explore shops and cafes. People are very kind and helpful.
We checked in late, but Mohua Motel manager found us units to stay and gave us a discount for the second night. In the morning, we were offered more clean towels in case we would like to go swimming.
We had dinner at Dangerous Kitchen. The food and the atmosphere are awesome.
My husband bought a new pair of shoes he loves at the fishing gear shop. The lady looked into the store room and found a right size for him.

Golden Bay has a lot to offer with quite a few boutique cafes in Takaka, lovely beaches, and interesting natural beauty including Te Waikoropupu Springs which has some of the world’s clearest water. Going further west through Collingwood to Farewell Spit a short walk to Wharariki Beach is well worth the effort.
A beautiful area well worth visiting.

It would have been very easy to fill in a couple of days around Takaka with visits to Farewell Spit, Anatoki Salmon Farm etc. Ample opportunities to eat and drink the local fare.
The drive into Golden Bay over the Takaka Hill also offered fantastic views and the chance to explore a limestone cave.
Waikoropupu Springs is a must do visit with great information provided.

The Golden Bay area of NZ has a very interesting past, both from a geographical point of view and a colonisation perspective (often directly linked). Gold, coal, iron ore, graphite, asbestos (!), paint and cement manufacture, all influenced the influx of early settlers and those seeking to make their fortunes!
Evidence of these past activities still remain making interesting exploration opportunities for visitors.
Natural phenomena such at the Waikoropupu Springs and Farewell Spit are certainly worth visiting, the latter being both an historic trip together with an opportunity to view present day wild life in the area.

I love everything about Takaka ..
I love everything about Takaka ..
Wholemeal Cafe and Soma have yummy food and great service .. the Roots bar is a nice place to hangout .. shops are cool ..The Grove is s must to visit... I come here every year ... have family here also
A rural location on a working farmlet, albeit the property is quite close to SH60. Takaka is ten minutes away. Very comfortable accommodation with a large well equipped lounge. The barbecue and deck gave us a couple of enjoyable evenings. The hosts were excellent as too were the breakfasts which largely consisted of produce from their farmlet. If you enjoy outdoor spa baths and swims, there's a real bonus outside. Thank you to Rene and Marianne.
We greatly enjoyed this peaceful, relaxing stay at Rene and Marianne’s farm. We recommend the homemade pizza offering if available, it was so delicious. We also very much enjoyed the farm tour. The hosts grow or raise everything they use in the delicious breakfasts on the farm!
The BnB is a great base to explore Tākaka and surrounding beaches. Roots Bar is a great casual spot for a drink and dinner on the Main Street, about ten minutes away.
Eclectic little cluster of 4 chalets well maintained right outside of Tanaka (short 1 km walk on paved trail into town). Wonderful, welcoming owners who see after everything with great detail. Originally booked here because Kaiteriteri over the hill had nothing left, but would stay in Golden Bay again in heart beat. Nice drive to Totaranui on easy gravel road to take water taxi to Abel Tasman.
Although our glamping tent was only about 10 minutes out of Takaka, it was set in a clearing surrounded by bush, so had a lovely remote feeling. The outdoor kitchen, shower and toilet were quirky but very functional and added to the fun experience. The tent was very well set up and was roomy and comfortable. Camilla was very welcoming and ensured that we had everything we needed for our stay.
This may have been the most beautiful place we've ever stayed. The huge windows facing the water...allowing you to see the beauty from the bedroom, living room, dining room/kitchen were fabulous. The commitment to recycling was great. The outdoor tub....looking over the hills and water (with a glass of wine in hand)...was a piece of heaven.
Located in a quiet neighborhood just a few minutes drive from Takaka's main street. The place is extremely clean and well equipped. The bed is really comfortable and the bathroom has shower and bathtub which was great to relax.
The hosts Steve and Jen are very friendly and helpful and will give you great privacy.
Would 100% recommend.
We really enjoyed our stay at Jude's BnB - the room was comfortable and clean, breakfast was fab, the location is ideal for exploring Takaka and the surrounding area and Zoe the dog is a fun to hang out with! We had a brilliant stay.
Serge and his wife run a beautiful and slightly quirky spa/B&B quite near Golden Bay. The hot tubs were calming after a busy day and the traditional, wood-fired sauna made my evening. Even a cool water pool to plunge in after.
The motel was close walking distance to town, very comfortable+++ with everything you needed for an enjoyable stay. The staff were helpful and cheerful. Highly recommend this motel for families
Lovely place that is a short walk from Takaka town, super clean chalet with everything you need, nothing has been missed! Comfy beds and beautiful gardens with glow worm cave! Will stay again!
The breakfast Mark made each morning was fantastic. Great to take advantage of the jetted tub in the spa room as well. Great location, a short walk from the several restaurants in Takaka.
We loved our stay in Chalet Karaka. It was comfortable, very private and lovely having the trees right outside.
Golden Bay is beautiful and Takaka has great places to eat.
We loved the cooking facilities, everything you could want to cook quickly and well. The location was premo, remote yet close to takaka and other great walks/day trips.
