A locally owned motel at the entrance to Takaka township, at 22 Willow Street in Golden Bay. The listing is filed as fish and chips, but the website describes a motel, and the description below follows the website.
The motel has 20 rooms in a range of layouts, including studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments, and it can take bus groups. Each unit has a self-contained kitchenette with a fridge, hobs, microwave, kettle, toaster and cookware, a built-in work desk and free internet. Guests can order a continental breakfast delivered to the room the evening before, or a semi-catered box lunch to collect at reception. There is a covered outdoor barbecue area, and the supermarket is about 100 metres away. The motel has no restaurant of its own, but Takaka's cafés and restaurants are a short walk, and Pohara and Collingwood are a drive away.
The website offers to book tours with Farewell Spit Eco Tours and Abel Tasman Sea Shuttle, and it sits between Tasman National Park and Kahurangi National Park. The website gives no prices, check-in times, parking, or children and dog details, and quotes no customer comments.
