Motueka Bed & Breakfast Accommodation
Doone Cottage Country Homestay has been welcoming guests exploring the Nelson region for over 30 years. A charming 100 year old home, built on a natural river terrace nestling in a secluded 4 acre setting of native trees, flower gardens and farmland supporting sheep, donkeys, ducks and chickens.
Overlooking the Motueka valley out to the Mt Arthur range, Doone Cottage is located near Nelson, renowned for its sunshine, in the north of New Zealand’s South Island. This makes Doone Cottage ideally situated to take advantage of the many wonderful scenic attractions in the area including 3 National Parks within 1 hours drive, plus easy access to some of New Zealand’s best fly fishing trout rivers.
Glen spins wool from her own Suffolk Cross sheep and in her craft shop you will be able to see how this has been transformed into the finished garment including sweaters, wallhangings and floor rugs. A visit to Doone Cottage will give you the perfect place to relax, unwind and soak up the country atmosphere of yesteryear in this special place.
