“A Piece of Paradise”

Reviewed March 18, 2013

We spent a week staying at Awatea Tasman Bay in the detached cottage. Everything about this property, and John and Scott who own and run it (+ Molly the dog), are simply FIRST CLASS. The accommodations are beautifully appointed, and the views from the deck(s) and room windows are spectacular. It is within easy reach of Motueka town, and just... More

Thanks so much for your very kind review of your experience at Awatea Tasman Bay. It’s hard not to appreciate the fantastic views from the Cottage, isn’t it, and we were pleased that you were able to do so many of the fine walks we have in the area; it looks like you made good use of the “Walk Tasman”...

Awatea Tasman Bay has stunning views all around, in compassing Motueka river & beyond to Tasman Bay. Situated near to Abel Tasman national park where you can easily kayak around the golden beaches.The accommodation is like something from 'Grand Designs' with an impeccable finish. We stayed in the Cottage which was comfortable & spotless. There is both privacy or easy... More

Thank you for the lovely review and highlighting how easy it is to get out into the Abel Tasman National Park when staying in our Cottage. The National Park is certainly a great place for a day kayaking, walking, or just relaxing on one of the many golden beaches. And thank you also for your thoughtful comment about the finish... More

“Truly fantastic!”

Reviewed February 24, 2013

Our stay in Awatea cottage was everything we could have wished for for the celebration of our wedding anniversary. In a beautiful, tranquil spot overlooking Tasman Bay, Scott & John have turned hosting into a new art form. Their perfect eye for detail in making guests feel at home in every way is mind-blowing. At the same time we were... More

It was fun to be part of your wedding anniversary celebration while you here, and we’re very happy to know you felt at home. Both of us thank you for the engaging breakfast conversation and insights into Hokitika (which we will have to visit again), and the lovely photos you took – especially of everyone enjoying breakfast in the sunshine!

“A true gem!”

Reviewed February 18, 2013

We must say that New Zealand is not all about beautiful nature, but instead about the amazing people. The highlight of that experience was our stay at Awatea and getting to know John and Scott - the most wonderful hosts you can imagine. The accommodation, located on a hillside, is very modern and you feel they have a great attention... More

What a great compliment! Thank you. We had a great time talking with you and the other guests at breakfast time, and also sharing our Christmas Eve dinner under the stars – it is that kind of experience that makes hosting so fulfilling. And we really liked the great photos you took and shared with us (and thanks for sharing... More

We really appreciate your recommendation for our Cottage apartment. The kitchen is certainly a great space to prepare a meal, and we thoroughly enjoyed the fresh homemade soup you prepared and shared with us – delicious!

“Faultless Stay in Cottage.”

Reviewed January 17, 2013

John & Scott have got it right. Their Cottage is spotlessly clean and beautifully appointed with a view to die for. They manage that difficult balance of being caring hosts without being overbearing very well. Everything from home-made cake upon arrival, chocolates and thoughtful additions were welcome, generous extras; their attention to detail is unrivalled. We couldn't recommend Awatea Tasman... More

Your comments are very generous and all the more meaningful coming from fellow B&B owners like yourselves, thank you. And we just love the small book on Bath that you left us as a gift – we are truly inspired to revisit this special historic area of the UK where you are so lucky to live! More

We have just had a fantastic two night stay. If in the future we return to the area I would make sure we stayed here again. The Cottage was just perfect, fantastic views which photos cannot do credit to. The afternoon tea Scott provided on our arrival was sublime, it really felt that these guys will go out of their...

So glad you enjoyed our homemade black currant & yoghurt teacake with berry compote! It is one of our favourite afternoon treats, especially because there are so many fresh berries available from the local farms at this time of year. Thank you for your thoughtful review, and we hope the road washouts along the West coast didn’t interrupt your holiday... More

“What a location!”

Reviewed January 7, 2013

We had the most perfect time at The Cottage over New Year. The location is fabulous, with stunning views all the way round. The Cottage itself is exactly what we were looking for, everything you need is there and it is beautifully finished. I honestly can't think of a single thing that I would change. Scott and John gave us... More

We agree – our Cottage is in a great location but it is a challenge for anyone on a bike to try and ride up our driveway (it climbs about 90 metres over the 500 metre length)! Best to work up to the challenge with plenty of mountain bike workouts in the nearby Kaiteriteri Mountain Bike Park or some relaxed... More

An absolutely perfect accommodation, with the most majestic view, run by gracious hosts. Everything about the design and aesthetic of Awatea fits the needs of the modern traveler.

“Absolutely stunning!”

Scott and John gave us a holiday to remember. Having recently opened, they were extremely excited about their new venture and full of enthusiasm for their beautiful B&B. Simply stunning inside, the interior was modern and vibrant with a fantastic homely feel. The magnificent views cannot be overstated, and we wasted hours staring out over Motueka. Scott is a great...

It was great to see you both again in December (2012) – your second time staying here! For us, it was like friends coming to visit again, especially when we had time over breakfasts to chat, while sitting out in the sunshine on our east deck, overlooking the Motueka River each morning. We look forward to seeing you again... More
