It was quiet, the surroundings were beautiful, and the accommodation was incredibly well fitted out. Everything you need in the kitchen; microwave, convection oven, Breville induction hotplate, toaster. Well done Jenny!

Immaculate. Exceeded our expectations - lush. Comfy and cosy. Sort of place you find yourself wanting to hang around in. Garden a stunning joy. Black fantail and Molly the dog - icing on the cake. Lovely host.

Great location. Just across the road from the beach. And the walkway around the waterfront. It is stunning. There is a lovely garden and seats outside the unit so you can enjoy the garden. The accomodation is compact, but you have everything you...

Glenwai has fully insulated walls with double glazed windows and blinds. The heat pump keeps the rooms cosy in winter and cool in summer. It is very private, sunny and quiet. It fronts on to Tasman Bay with lovely quiet surroundings. The extensive gardens host native birds plus Molly our Lab Huntaway cross who is very friendly. Good wifi and Netflix.
I look forward to hosting guests in my well appointed accommodation. I am available to assist with any queries you may have and are very happy to have a chat.
Glenwai is 2.2kms from town. It's right beside a lovely estuary walk that leads out on to the main beach. Motueka river nearby is lovely and clean for swimming and kayaking. Kahurangi and Able Tasman National Parks are within 30 kms from Glenwai. Kayaking and Kite boarding on the inlet when the tide is in. The golf course is 500m away.
