Short distance from town centre and short drive to great attractions including the Wainui falls, beautiful coast road and the Grove rock formations. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/D27F645048D30E8F8C124E1013CF10B44BFED7F41714280326283.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/D82EB63CD353E8C115FA49DC6D2EB0DA9C42C7281714280324202.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/FCB389E2F66430D06161967BF69C0AEDC7ED59621714280325871.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/D0BC898D81C4BCA709EDE7750F92B5077C05C3211714280325335.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Ian Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessie Feb 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Outstanding! 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 #### Lynn Apr 11, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing! Lovely little cabins tucked into unusual looking rocks. Very quiet, peaceful and secluded. We stayed 3 nights and everything was wonderful. LeAnn and her husband were very accessible and quickly handled any need. We loved the outside tub and covered porch. The cabin was spacious and comfortable. Highly recommend when in Takaka! ##### Lynn Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katherine May 28, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Incredible! We had an amazing stay thanks to the incredible owner. They have truly thought of everything to make your stay wonderful. I especially enjoyed the large tub outside with bubble bath and insect repelling candles. Each hut is private due to trees surrounding them. In addition there is a glow worm cave on their property! ##### Katherine Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Barry Nov 6, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location amongst the rocky out crops. Some unique features. Our unit was very private and quiet. Weather didn't allow us to enjoy the outdoor bath. Handy laundry facilities ##### Barry ### 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 #### Peter Mar 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Peter Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Dubai](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Dubai-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d1079-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Bali](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Bali-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d602651-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels with Free Airport Shuttle in Leduc](https://www.expedia.ca/Leduc-Hotels-Hotels-With-Free-Airport-Shuttle.0-0-d8571-tHotelswithFreeAirportShuttle.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Comfort Inn Windsor](https://www.expedia.ca/Windsor-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Windsor.h15971.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Seeleys Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Seeleys-Bay-Hotels.d6301986.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Tulalip Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Tulalip-Resort-Casino.h2161524.Hotel-Information) > > [Capsule Hotels YVR Airport Station](https://www.expedia.ca/YVR-Airport-Station-Capsule-Hotels.d6215588-aaCapsuleHotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Nomads Rest](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Nomads-Rest.h27954748.Hotel-Information) > > [Honeymoon Resorts and Hotels in Caribbean](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Caribbean-Honeymoon-Hotels.0-0-d6022969-tHoneymoonHotels.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) ### Flights > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Konavle (DBV)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/dbv/calgary-to-dubrovnik) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Ingenio (LPA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/lpa/montreal-to-las-palmas) > > [Flights from Dubai (DXB) to Ajnala (ATQ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/dxb/atq/dubai-to-sri-guru-ram-das-ji-intl-airport) > > [Flights from Philadelphia Intl. to NYC-All Airports](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/phl/nyc/philadelphia-to-new-york) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Los Angeles (LAX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/lax/toronto-to-los-angeles) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Tashkent (TAS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/tas/toronto-to-tashkent) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Milan (MXP)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/mxp/toronto-to-milan) > > [Flights from Chek Lap Kok (HKG) to Ho Chi Minh City (SGN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/hkg/sgn/hong-kong-to-ho-chi-minh-city) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to British Columbia (YZZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yzz/toronto-to-trail) ### Cruise > [Cruises from New York](https://www.expedia.ca/Cruises-from-New-York.d178293.Cruise-Departure-Port) ### Packages > [Kingston Penitentiary](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingston-Penitentiary-Kingston.d553248621533087434.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Mexico Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Mexico.d117.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Playa del Carmen Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Del-Carmen.d601751.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Turks And Caicos](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/184/Turks-And-Caicos) ### Vacation Rentals > [The Pas Vacation Rentals](https://www.expedia.ca/The-Pas-Vacation-Rentals.d4045.Travel-Guide-VacationRentals) ### General > [Visit Old Quebec](https://www.expedia.ca/Quebec-City-Old-Quebec.dx6058216) > > [Visit Hall's Harbour](https://www.expedia.ca/Halls-Harbour.dx6351920)
