Eating and staying in Tasman
288 cafés, restaurants, bars, hotels and motels across 51 towns and suburbs in Tasman.
Tasman accounts for 2% of every venue we hold in New Zealand, which makes it the 12th-largest of the 17 regions by venue count. Those 288 venues sit across 51 named towns and suburbs, of which 3 carry at least 20 venues and get a page of their own.
Distribution inside the region is relatively even: Motueka (43), Richmond (42) and Tākaka (24) hold 38% of everything between them. The remaining 48 places average 3.7 venues each — a long tail of small settlements that we list on the nearest town page rather than give an empty page to.
The regional split runs 52% eating to 58% accommodation, against a national 75/25. That is a markedly higher share of accommodation than the country as a whole — the mark of a region that hosts visitors rather than only feeding residents.
67 venues in Tasman carry a cuisine tag. Measured against the national mix, the region over-indexes on burger (11), chicken (5) and pizza (10).
Data quality varies by region and it is worth knowing where this one stands: 69 venues here publish opening hours (24% against 23% nationally), 143 list a website, and 19 record step-free access. Everything on this site comes from open data, so coverage reflects what mappers and councils have published — not what exists on the ground.
