The Barn Cabins & Camp, hotel in Motueka

Situated on the edge of the Abel Tasman National Park The Barn Cabins & Camp offers guests shared accommodation in a natural bush setting. Socialise by the BBQ or over a game of billiards.

Though we only spent one night in one of the cabins we would definitely return for a longer period: - check-in and -out is very easy, the receptionist was kind and very helpful - common areas (kitchen, showers, toilet, laundry, movie room etc) are clean and well-equipped - the area is scenic with lots of program possibilities: walking, trekking, sailing, kayaking etc. As we only had half a day, we took a round-trip boat and it was an unforgettable experience - the local staff also helps in organizing such programs if needed

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    the backpackers was family friendly with a child’s playground, trampoline, pool table and many board games. Well equipped kitchen, BBQ area and beds are comfy. Bathrooms are new and clean. A quirky stay in a prime location. The receptionist was taking care of the property while her daughter was away and made sure we felt comfortable and safe and even offered us an extra bike lock while we were staying.

    We stayed in a room where the toilet seat was a cheap one and kept slipping off the bowl. Told staff about it but if they fixed it they must not have done it very well because it was still doing they same thing. They had an upstairs rooms. Unfortunately if your going to have upstair rooms they should be well sound proof as we were kept up with heavy foot steps.
