The chalet is so cozy and welcoming with a great view of the mountain and beautiful landscape. We showed up late as we were coming from Picton but Jane was looking out for us to give us a warm welcome to her property. Highly recommended to stay here.

John and Jane was the best host during our 2 weeks trip in South Island. They were welcoming, friendly and helpful. The chalet was clean, tidy, comfortable with a great view too. Jane provided an additional mattress for my teen son, which he preferred compared to a sofa bed. Thank you Jane and John for your hospitality, it made our stay that much more enjoyable.

A private little gem just out of Riwaka. If you like to wake hearing the birds sing and look out over a tranquil view of mountains and sea, this is the place for you. Three lovely chalets set among the trees on the owners property. Very comfortable bed, nice settee and all other amenities in the chalet for a restful self contained stay. We loved it. Your hosts Jane and John are friendly, helpful, but not intrusive.

Beautiful rooms on a beautiful property. Hosts were two of the nicest people you’ll meet. Easily our favourite stay out of the many so far here in New Zealand.

Property was perfect. The location, size, amenities and hosts. If you’re thinking of a place to stay in the country close to the park. This is it👍

Very well maintained in a quiet, rural setting. John & Jane are very friendly and informative and work very hard on the grounds and unit.Highly recommended! Go to the Riwaka Hotel for a good meal and visit the Riwaka Resurgence!

Lovely chalet, close to the beach and town. Awesome views to wake up to and enjoy a morning coffee. Chalet was well appointed with essentials, heaps of parking outside your room. Great place to get away from the hustle & bustle to enjoy a bit of peace & quiet. Jane, John and Izzy were excellent hosts!
