Notices

No parties, please.
Strictly no Camping.
No pets inside. You are welcome to bring your pet dog providing it sleeps in your vehicle or outside. It must be on a secure chain or leash at all times, for it's own safety. This is a working farm surrounded by other farms, and neighboring farmers do not tolerate dogs in paddocks with stock. They will not ask questions first. Dogs also get lost in the adjacent forestry block & bush.
Note: The exterior painting of this home is not completed, which is reflected in the price. The inside has been recently repainted & has new carpet & new vinyl.


A little History

This home was once the first Baptist Manse in N.Z. Previously located in Bridge Street Nelson. It was built in 1872.

It has been rescued & lovingly prepared for a clean, cosy, comfortable stay. Due to it's age & a hard life, it is not motel standard - but what us kiwis would call a loved family 'bach'. We do all we can to ensure you enjoy your holiday with us in the beautiful Motueka Valley.
