It was very clean and spacious, you could use the combined kitchen and BBQ area if you liked but our room had it's own mini fridge, and plates and cutlery. It's all set in a lovely garden. A quiet place to stay. ##### David Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Catherine 23 Sept 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities Pros: I had a good stay at the White Elephant. I stayed in a cabin at the back of the property. The gardens at the back are beautiful and it was very quiet at night. The staff are excellent - very friendly and helpful - many thanks to Lorin and Gurt/Gert! The cabin had a comfy bed, ensuite, fridge, toaster, kettle and crockery & cutlery. There was a good heater. The location is excellent. The local bus stop (from Nelson) is a 5 minute walk and the supermarket & town centre are a 5 to 10 minute walk. There are lovely estuary and beach walks in Motueka. Cons: The cabin was not super-clean and all the surfaces were rather dusty. Also, on my last full day, I came home to find ants near the head of the bed and in the bathroom. Another guest also told me that she had ants in her food in the communal kitchen. The White ELephant is certainly not the only place in NZ to have ants, but it would make me think twice about staying again, because I was staying in September and not in the hotter weather, when ant activity is worse. If they could do a deep clean of the cabin and address the ant problem before their summer season, then I would definitely recommend the White Elephant. ##### Catherine Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 30 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Room comfort #### You get what you pay for... Pros: Clean, very welcoming host at check in, cheaper than other accommodations in area. Cons: Tight, awkwardly designed bathroom, thin walls (can hear neighbor's every move), one pillow. All of the above is somewhat understandable as it is a very budget accommodation. What was intolerable was the extremely unreliable wifi - worst I've experienced in NZ. Ok stay for a quick night. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Kathryn 20 Mar 2024 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I booked and arrived late, a lovely young woman welcomed me and showed me to my cute little self-contained unit in the back garden. Very grateful for the room at that time. It was well stocked with all i the appliances etc I needed. Quiet. Shower floor could have done with a clean. ##### Kathryn Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachael 23 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had a last minute change to our accomodation. And was lucky enough to find a room in White Elephant Accomodation. The owner was amaxing and she even upgraded my friend and i to a bigger room. We travelled through the house/ hostel to find our accomodation in the back. Which was a granny flat style room. The house was fun really well. Staff were amazing. Rooms were extremely clean and even provided a towel, kettle with tea and coffee. The drive from Nelson was an added bonus as the sun was setting after a late summer dinner. Thanks for the great stay. Will deffinately return. ##### Rachael Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ronja 8 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely cabin Great place to stay before heading out to the abel tasman! ##### Ronja Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### edward 23 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect Excellent stay with everything that you would need at the accommodation and in the short walk to the town.
