1 Bedroom Cabin in Motu

Come relax and unwind at The Weka Nest and soak up the great outdoors.
A rustic country getaway set in the beautiful Motu Valley.
Just an hours drive from Gisborne and Opotiki.
Perfect for a weekend getaway, or maybe you are looking for accommodation while doing some hunting, fishing or biking the Motu Trail.
The Motu region has so much to offer for outdoors enthusiasts. From Hunting and fishing, the Motu trail cycleway, the Whinray Reserve nature walks ( if you are really lucky you may hear or even catch a glimpse of the Kiwi that call the reserve home), the Motu Falls is also worth a look and you'll be able to get pretty up close to the many cheeky Weka that roam all over the area.
Motu village is small with a handful of homes, a school and the Motu-vation Cafe that also doubles as a museum with lots of information about the Motu region and a collection of acquisitions from a bygone era, it is only a few mins stroll down the road.
We are also lucky enough to have a Kiwi Creche just behind the property, when they have resident Kiwis in you may hear them at night along with the Weka calls.
The Cabin is rustic and simple but comfortable and cosy and has all the necessary amenities you would need.
Many of our guests so far have commented on how they enjoy the unique character the cabin has and it feels like going back in time, which is all part of the experience when staying at the Weka Nest.
Complementary fresh free range eggs. (availability can vary, just depends if the girls are laying at the time)
As The Weka Nest is located in a remote rural area and is surrounded by trees, nature and natural wildlife. There are flowers, birds, bees and insects in the area. This can mean pollen or bugs may enter the cabin during your stay. If finding a harmless spider or bug would bother you, or if you are severely allergic to pollen or bees, we recommend you be prepared and bring any antihistamines or insect repellent you may need. Although we try to do our best to keep on top of spiders and bugs in the cabin we cannot promise the space will be entirely free of these things.
Please note that there is NO OVEN. There is a microwave, electric fry pan and double hob available for cooking and also a BBQ (available at request)
A small bar fridge.
The kitchen and bathroom only have cold water to the sink and basin.
There is of course hot water to the shower.
Please be sure to pack a few extra layers as the weather can be quite changeable at times.
No Mobile coverage
Our landline is available as an emergency contact as we also live on the property.
Our home is set away from the cabin so privacy is not a problem for guests.

Summary: Nice base to go for wanders, looking for good spots with the camera. Found a weka family around the corner (telling everyone where they are and to visit) can you train some for us please?? 🙂 No wifi or phone service was an added bonus of turning off some technical stuff

Summary: We loved our stay at The Weka Nest! It was a step back in time and a special place to use as a base to explore Motu and this area steeped in history. The Motu Falls was worth a visit and we hope we can return sometime in the future. It was worth the detour! Thanks Carmelle for your welcoming hospitality. You've done the cabin up beautifully and made us feel at home. Hope we can return for a longer stay.

Summary: The Weka Nest is a gorgeous cozy cabin right in Motu. Carmelle is a great host - the venison was to die for! So close to the Motu falls and Whineray bush for great bush walking and wekas everywhere. Loved the Motu-vation cafe just down the road- absolutely worth a look and a chat about the history of the store and the area.

Summary: Quaint, gorgeous, cosy...just our cup of tea! Very quiet rural setting if you want time out from city life. Our friendly host Carmelle happily gave lots of info about the area, and local sights. She also made sure the fire was lit in time to warm the Nest in time for our return each day. Lots of lovely rural roads if you’re into country driving. Loved every minute of our stay.

Summary: A lovely position in the Motu valley, the cabin is rustic but comfortable and cosy. The charm of a shepherds hut but with hot showers, electricity, running water, flushing toilet etc. The toilet is a classic twenties with an over head cistern & pull chain (that works) Carmelle and family are wonderful hosts who took great care of us, even to giving us some venison steak! We enjoyed our break away from mobile phones , TV and the internet and hearing the Weka calls and seeing them running across the road. Chris & Faye
