Fun to be had while staying in the Motueka, Abel Tasman and Nelson areas
|
All bookings can be taken care of right here at the backpackers. David and Lucy are happy to help you enjoy your stay and can advise you on the various activities and trips available in Motueka, the Abel Tasman and Kahurangi National Parks. There are caves to be discovered, mountains to be summited and seas to be crossed. Motueka township has a variety of entertainments including a unique cinema, arts and crafts, a museum, locally designed minigolf, wineries and cafés. Apple, pear and kiwifruit farms with fresh produce for sale, hop fields and olive groves encompass the town. Being only 20 minutes from New Zealand's Abel Tasman National Park and 40minutes from Kahurangi National Park, it is the ideal spot to organise yourself. The winter time may well be a little colder, with frosts in the morning, and the days a little shorter, dark at 5pm, but in the Abel Tasman National Park you have got a good chance of making the first footprints of the morning, there are less sandflies to share your lunch, the days are calmer for tranquil kayaking, the sky is bluer for great photos and of course there is a gorgeously hot spa awaiting your return at the Laughing Kiwi! |
