We had stayed a night in the "Tui" chalet. It is spacious and comfortable in a pretty setting amongst some very interesting rock formations. The owners Pat and Chris were very friendly and helpful. We loved the rustic outdoor furniture decorating the grounds.

We travel alone, by car, and we stumbled on this place as we were touring NZ. Awesome, cozy, private, super clean and VERY comfortable!!!! We even had a beautiful garden as our view out the glass doors. We wish we could have stayed longer. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful when it came to answering our questions about the... More

This place is great. Much nicer than some bland motel and in a lovely setting with plenty of private outdoor space. We really liked it and will definitely return sometime. The room is set up with the attention to detail that you get in a hotel; good towels, linen, washing facilities, air con and a mini bar. Beds are made... More

We were there for 2 nights in January. Chris and Pat are great hosts. Chris has a wicked sense of humor. They have laid out the chalets to give a very private feel.
