Motueka, Nelson, The Abel Tasman & Kahurani National Parks

Escape To Motueka Valley

Kahurangi Escape looks down the Motueka Valley and across to the Mt Arthur Range in New Zealand's Kahurangi National Park.

Base yourself at Kahurangi Escape while you enjoy all the Motueka and Tasman regions have to offer.

Visit the Abel Tasman National Park, the golden sands of Kaiteriteri beach, climb Mt Arthur and to ease your aches and pains at the end of the day, relax in our outside bath and enjoy the views down Motueka Valley - with snow capped Mt Arthur in the winter.

Kahurangi National Parks offers you many tracks to wander along or serious, multi day tramps to enjoy.

Hike to the top of Mt Arthur, listen to the birds or you may be lucky to see a New Zealand native carnivorous snail. The whio or blue duck is also in the park.

Or visit the Abel Tasman National Park and walk some or all of the infamous Abel Tasman Coastal Track, dropping down to the inviting bays along the way. The blue green water is hard to resist.

Then there's cruises, motorcycle tours, swimming, fur seals to see, parachuting, gliding, microlights, horse-riding - there's an activity here to suit you, whatever you prefer.

There are many artists within the Tasman and Nelson areas - painters, potters, sculptors, weavers, crafts people - seek them out or visit some galleries to enjoy a collection of crafts

Visit the the vineyards and wineries throughout the region. Enjoy lunch at a vineyard or a tasting two the way.

And when it all becomes too much, relax in one of the many cafés throughout the region and enjoy the sunshine - the Nelson and Tasman regions boast the highest sunshine hours of any in New Zealand.

Then return to the quiet of the countryside and a good nights sleep to recharge your batteries, ready for tomorrow.
