Mike
We had a great stay at the accommodation. The beautiful street appearance and warm, welcoming staff immediately made us feel at home. Despite a few drawbacks like the soft mattress and limited outlets, the spacious 4-bed dorm and helpful hostess made up for it. The location was also convenient with McDonald's nearby. I would recommend this hotel for a homely experience.

The spacious room was a highlight of my xmas stay at this hotel. It had all the amenities I needed, including a toaster and kettle, which made my stay more convenient. The location was also great, with easy access to the downtown area, allowing me to explore the nearby attractions. I enjoyed the privacy offered by the secluded garden cabin, making it a peaceful retreat.
I was disappointed by the lack of cleanliness in the bathroom. There were several spiders present, which made me uncomfortable.

I always stay at the same place in Motueka. It has everything I need - Wi-Fi, free parking, and a shared kitchen. Plus, the staff helped me with plug adaptors the first time I came. I'm coming back for Easter!

The room was spacious and comfortable, with a toaster and kettle provided. The location was convenient, with easy access to parking. One advantage was the friendly and welcoming atmosphere of the property.
The room I stayed in was right next to the bathroom facilities, which meant I could hear people showering or using the toilet. The WiFi in the room was also quite slow, although it was better in the main house/outdoor area.

I recently stayed at the White Elephant in Motueka for 3 days while I hiked the Abel Tasman coast track. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and the facilities were cleaned twice daily. I was pleasantly surprised by the spacious double room, complete with a fridge and private en suite. The private accommodation also had its own porch and sliding door, adding a touch of privacy. The property itself was stunning, with extensive gardens and friendly cats and dogs roaming around. I would definitely stay here again.
I strongly recommend this hotel.

I was pleasantly surprised by my recent stay at a calm and quiet place in a beautiful environment. The price was very good and the buildings were surrounded by a stunning garden with roses, trees, and well-kept grass. The rules of the house ensured a peaceful atmosphere, perfect for relaxing after a long day. The laundry facilities were efficient, and the kitchen was well-equipped for backpackers. it was a great value for the money spent.

The location of the accommodation is perfect, with a picturesque setting and walkable distance to shops and attractions. The room itself is comfortable and spacious, with a clean and usable bathroom. The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating, and the complex is well-arranged with lovely outdoor spaces, including a verandah and garden with beautiful roses and fruit trees.
It's a pity that the cleanliness of the bathroom was not up to par, which took away from the overall experience.

Comfortable and peaceful private apartment in a beautiful backyard. Appreciated the on-site parking and great value for money. Loved sitting outside at night in the lovely yard. The bed was comfortable and the area was quiet. Would definitely stay again.
Limited outlets for charging devices in our room.

I recently stayed at the wonderful White Elephant Accommodation for a few nights during my visit to Motueka. The manageress, Pam, went above and beyond to ensure our late arrival went smoothly and she consistently checked in to make sure we were enjoying our stay. The self-contained units were equipped with everything we needed, including a toaster, kettle, and crockery. The location of the hotel was perfect, allowing easy access to nearby attractions. The upgraded cabin accommodations were modern and clean, providing comfortable linens and towels. The on-site amenities, such as the BBQ and pizza oven, were a great addition. The staff and hosts were friendly and helpful, giving us valuable advice on local restaurants and sights to explore. The charming old house and beautiful garden added to the overall ambiance. The bedroom in which we stayed was lovely, featuring a comfortable bed and a clean, inviting atmosphere. the White Elephant Accommodation exceeded our expectations and provided excellent value for the price.
