Dec 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy What a fantastic place to stay. Communication great, place was clean and tidy. We really enjoyed our stay and wish we could have stayed longer. ##### Jen W. Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kevin Mar 11, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy Everything was great. The chalet was very spacious and and comfortable. Could walk across gardens then down to the beach which was very long and private. Best thing though was the hot tub perched on top of the cliff in front of the the owner's cabin which they allowed us for use. It is separated from their residence by a hedge for privacy. We used it as the sun was setting over the bay. We selected this location mostly because of the location being near Wharariki Beach and Dunes (highly recommended for a visit to). We used the BBQ and had a nice dinner in the patio that we sheltered from the strong wind that day. ##### Kevin Stayed 1 night in Mar 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steven S. Sep 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We enjoyed it immensely. We didn't quite know what to do about rubbish at the end, so we assumed we had to leave it. Apologies if that's not the case ##### Steven S.
