Terraced Chalets

Absolutely LOVED this location! The owners were lovely people, gave us great recommendations. The chalets were super clean, thoughtful amenities like a drying rack, dishes, etc. Laundry available. Quiet and relaxed! Overall just a fabulous experience.

Nothing at all. Will go back someday.

John and Jane are absolutely great hosts. John went way out of his way to accommodate our needs and help us out. Very friendly and social host with a great property. Definitely a plus to be able to wash our laundry. Chalet very clean and comfortable.

I booked this chalet for my parents during our South Island road trip and it was absolutely perfect. Wonderful, peaceful space nestled amongst beautiful flora. Perfect deck for a morning cup of tea and an evening glass of wine watching the sunset. The hosts Jane, John and Izzy (the dog) are so welcoming and friendly and have created a cosy haven in the hills. My parents didn’t want to leave and it was definitely their favourite spot.

loved all of it!

Very clean, very welcoming and beautiful setting

Peaceful rural setting: Nestled in the scenic Riwaka Valley, the chalets offer a tranquil escape with stunning views of the surrounding mountains and nearby coastline. ​Well-Equipped Chalets: The chalet is thoughtfully designed with a kitchenette, including a microwave, a hot plate, refrigerator, and cooking appliances, making it easy to prepare meals. ​Very clean.Outdoor spaces: we appreciated the private balcony and certainly, if were not the heavy rain during our stay, we would have the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful garden and picnic areas. ​Proximity to attractions: The location is ideal for exploring the region, with Kaiteriteri Beach and the Abel Tasman National Park just a short drive away. ​Exceptional hospitality: Host Jane is friendly and helpful, providing guests with a warm welcome and valuable local insights.

Creaky floor: a small but noticeable detail—the floors in the chalet creak quite a bit when walking around, especially at night.Lack of space in the bathroom for personal items, suggesting the addition of shelves or a small rolling bathroom cart.Mosquitoes: as expected in a lush, rural environment, there were a few mosquitoes around.No Dishwasher: while the kitchenette is well stocked, the lack of a dishwasher stands out. We knew beforehand, not a major issue, but definitely an opportunity for improvement.Rural location requires a car: the peaceful setting means it’s a bit out of town, so having your own car is essential for access to shops, restaurants, and activities.

The units are excellent,privacy is good,quiet area

Everything! Beautifully clean and had everything you could need for your stay in a lovely private quiet setting

Nothing!

Comfortable well equipped chalet in a beautiful location. Jane and Jon were very helpful hosts.The use of the washing machine and extensive drying area was very useful.Exceptional value for money, everything that we would want.

This is the second holiday I have stayed there, this time for 11 nights. One of three immaculate cabins with car parking and a deck overlooking green hills. Chalets are mid way between Motueka and the Abel Tasman so convenient for both although you need a car. Very restful and relaxing place with friendly owners. Because its in the countryside it's very quiet and hence excellent sleep quality.

Extremely well equipped, comfortable cabin in beautiful surroundings. Jane and John were very friendly and welcoming. They've thought of everything guests might possibly want for a lovely stay. Everything was super clean and top quality. Lots of helpful recommendations and information. Our hosts were a pleasure to talk with.

Nothing, it was all wonderful.

Loved everything about this property. In the country but close to the cycle trail and the Riwaka pub. Extremely comfortable, clean and well equipped with a super friendly host. Definitely recommend!

Just minutes from town Motueka & Abel Tasman National Park, our chalet was the perfect retreat for our 2-night stay. Immaculate, tastefully and thoughtfully appointed throughout; pre-dawn birdsong both mornings. Our hostess Jane was welcoming, accommodating, so ready to answer questions & point guests in the right direction. Highly recommend. ??

Delighted to be returning for our third visit. Well designed and comfortable chalet with newly refitted kitchen. The washing and drying facilities were particularly useful for us. Jane and John are very welcoming and happy to offer advice on local activities. Allan and Jayne

Very friendly and helpful owners offering a good location for accessing Abel Tasman Park. Really enjoyed the gardens/orchards and our accommodation was well designed, peaceful and gave us privacy.

For a longer stay an oven would be great.

The chalet was perfect for us. It had all the facilities we could wish for and was warm and comfortable. Jane and John were fantastic hosts. They allowed us to use their 'greenhouse' to dry our laundry. The location is quiet rural, but attractions such as Kaiteriteri Beach and the Abel Tasman National Park walks are only a short drive away. We are already planning to return.

There was absolutely nothing to dislike.

The chalet was very clean and quiet, away from the road. The basic kitchen was good for a couple of home cooked meals and the bed was comfortable. We used the bbq one night and it was great. The hosts, Jane and John were super friendly and welcoming and had some good suggestions for things to do around the area. We also did a couple of loads of laundry.

Clean and comfortable. A beautiful area and quiet and calming place to stay

We loved the privacy of the individual chalets, the amazing view from the outside porch and the friendliness of our hosts.

Beautiful country location with great views. Private, surrounded by fruit trees and birdlife. Hosts, John & Jane, were close by if needed and very helpful. Close to Motueka, Abel Tasman Park and Keiteriteri.

Perfect, quiet location between Motueka and Kaiteriteri. The surroundings were absolutely gorgeous, the grounds were impeccable, and the room itself is a self-contained studio with a kitchenette and sitting area. As great as the location and room were, the hosts, Jane and John, were the best hosts in all of our stays in NZ. They went out of their way to make us feel welcome and comfortable and make the most out of our trip to that area. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to all adult travelers. And what an incredible value as well!
