Motueka

Among the settlements of Tasman, Motueka stands out for its long-established horticultural industry on the northern coast of New Zealand’s South Island. The town lies beside the Motueka River, close to its meeting with Tasman Bay / Te Tai-o-Aorere, while wooded hills rise inland. Orchards, market gardens and hop farms have shaped the local economy for generations, and seasonal produce remains central to Motueka’s character. Kaiteriteri and Abel Tasman National Park lie on the nearby coast, with beaches and walking tracks that draw visitors beyond the town. Its compact centre serves the surrounding rural district with cafés, galleries and local shops. See how Motueka fits within the Tasman coast and inland valleys by browsing webcams nearby.
