Super 2 night stay in very comfortable surrounds, welcoming host, glorious garden, private, quiet and super location, very handy to a wedding we were attending. Would enjoy the opportunity to stay again just for a relaxing few days in the sunny top of the south. Super experience.

The little things make such a difference, apart from the gorgeous garden setting The rooms were spotless and the supply of milk is the most welcome touch for that urgent cup of tea after a day of travelling. The kind extra of a couple of afghans on a plate also much appreciated. Great hosts, the experience could not have been better.

We stayed in Jenny’s garden studio for a 5 day visit to Abel Tasman NP, and we loved it there! Her garden is incredibly beautiful and so peaceful! The studio was sparkling clean, and had just the right amount of appliances and kitchen gadgets. It’s in a great location and just a short drive from Abel Tasman and some wineries. Would highly recommend!

We stayed at Ray & Jenny's for 10 days, the unit is fully contained. It was very comfortable both indoor and outdoor.
We slept very peacefully on the comfy bed, great wifi and TV, and outside their gardens are beautiful. It's almost like a botanical garden, with multiple comfortable seating available under the trees in the shade, or if it's a cool morning, pick the chairs that are in the sun.
And directly across the street from their beautiful grounds is the Motueka Quay, directly on the water.
Easy lovely walk to town for restaurants & cafes.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay a Ray & Jenny's & would definitely stay again.

Jenny is a wonderful host. Lovely garden that we had access to. Space is a little tight and some shade outdoors would enhance but then we did have lovely sunny weather. Very handy to the golf course.

The accommodation is very comfortable and is ideal for a couple or single person wishing to visit the Tasman Bay area. It is surrounded by a lovely formal and kitchen garden and is in a quiet area of the town near to the golf course. I would recommend the bach to anyone wishing to have a break in this area of the South Island.

I tend to spend a fair bit of time looking for just the right balance of location, price, facilities, prior reviews. Very glad this was my selection for our two nights in Motueka from where we did a day trip to the Abel Tasman. A couple of home made biscuits awaited us on arrival in the compact but cute and fully functional unit. Bathroom and shower was a good size. My partner explored the garden area out the back. Flyscreens on the opening windows to keep the sandflies etc out. Everything clean and in great condition. Freeview TV channels and good wifi. Coastal area just across the road and the local shipwreck an easy walk down the road. Thanks!

Surrounded in beautiful gardens, close to the sea, awoken with magnificent bird song, wow. This wonderful sanctuary is just in the perfect location and attention to detail within the unit was a pleasure to experience.

I had a restful stay in this small but well planned place. No steps. The surrounding garden is delightful and I was able to sit and watch the birds and appreciate the trees,flowers,shrubs and vegetables growing in profusion. 2 minute stroll across the road and sat and watched the sea and hundreds of waders. The studio has everything one needs and appreciated the flowers, artwork, comfortable bed. I will be back
