Great place to stay! Fantastic facilities and very welcoming hosts. Comfortable bed and great sized chalet with full kitchen. Bathroom clean, tidy and roomy. Great outdoor area for bbq with picnic table in the sun. Also shared outdoor kitchen and dining with pizza oven. Rock formations surrounding chalets are amazing and the cave on the property is special. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again. Wished we had time for 2 nights!

Excellent place to stay. Beautiful surroundings amongst the limestone rock. The unit was more spacious than envisaged and had everything we needed. Stayed in the Kiwi which was private and very sunny and light for winter. Will definitely stay here again.

The chalet has been put together very thoughtfully and tastefully, with everything you will need for your stay. They are cosy and comfortable. The surroundings are private and unique with the rock features and tropical gardens. Taking a soak in the outside bath is a treat. The experience was just as good for the second time.

What a truly delightful experience.Each studio is bordered by unique rock formations creating a very private setting for each guest. The landscaping invites you to enjoy a drink on the porch or a soak in the outdoor tub. The rooms are truly spacious with all the amenities you could hope for. The location is great, just a few minutes drive to fun restaurants in Takaka such as the Roots Bar. The owners were so kind to allow us to leave a couple suitcase’s while we trekked in Abel Tasman. Highly recommend
