This was our favorite stay and the best value over 24 days on the South Island. The unit is really spacious and thoughtfully well stocked. The attention to detail and the care invested in providing a great experience is evident. The outdoor space and tub are a gem, along with the glow worm dell. The owners are very kind and should give lessons on hospitality. Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer. Pro tip - booking on their website is cheaper. ##### Jessie Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John Mar 22, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities This was the most amazing place we've stayed in so far in NZ, and one of my favorites in the world. The place was so very clean, had all the nice touches and everything (and more) that we needed. I was sad we were only staying one night. Leanne, the owner, spent alot of time answering all my questions and gave us the perfect plan for the short amount of time we had there. We would have missed Pu Pu Springs if it wasn't for her!! Not to miss! Very nicely located close to the town center. Lots to do here. The garden outside our room was spectacular, and so very private. The room had so many nice little touches. If we ever come back to NZ, we will plan many more nights at The Rocks Chalet. BEST place we've stayed in NZ so far. Thanks Leanne and Lloyd! ##### John Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kevin May 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A unique property about as close to the Tasman area as you can get. My room was more like a cabin, with its own parking and even an outdoor bathtub and barbeque area. The room was large and comfortable, with a kitchenette and small fridge. There is also a public cooking area and laundry facility. Also nearby, your own private glowworm cave, although I didn't get a chance to check it out. The staff was friendly and helpful, the hotel easy to find and check-in was easy. You pretty much have to have a car here but this is true of most of the area. I had a great stay, even through I was only there a short time. ##### Kevin Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adam Oct 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely tranquil spot, clean, well appointed and well maintained-stunning property ##### Adam Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karenn Mar 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely quiet retreat. ##### Karenn Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christine Oct 13, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Peaceful stay Secluded in a lovely rock and garden setting, it was a very comfortable night’s stay.
