We absolutely loved our stay at The Rocks, there was nothing to fault. The staff were so helpful at check in explaining how everything works and all of the facilities, and again very helpful with any questions. The whole property is amazing and is very well looked after. Our room was huge and super clean, with a very comfy bed and high-pressure shower. The room lacks nothing. The property is an easy walk into town and is very quiet due to being set back from the road. We cannot wait to stay here again next year; this will be our go to property in Takaka when we visit from now on.

The location was to die for! Surrounded by lush bush, flora and fauna, glow worms and quirky garden figures made the place even more special. It was also close to the Town centre. We walked into town! The extra attention to detail in the rooms were noticed like Netflix (usually I have to use my own account at other places), the shampoo/conditioner dispensers, the lovely body moisturiser, the lights next to the bed, a good supply of milk, a well laid out kitchen with everything you need and the space. This was definitely a great experience and I would love to come back again. Such great service and the owners were so helpful. Thank you for a wonderful stay. I sure picked the best accommodation!🛌🇳🇿☺️

Absolutely nothing!

Of the dozen plus properties we've stayed in in New Zealand over the last month, our 3 nights in Chalet Kereru at The Rocks was the best. It is outstanding. The tranquility of the garden and sitting out area, complete with the very much recommended outdoor bath was sublime. Watching birds flit in the trees , a passing hedgehog wandering through. Inside, the room was spacious and the organisation of all the amenities in an economical way quite impressive. We lacked for nothing and if we did the owners found it for us - pegs and a rotary washing line for example when the airer was full. Nothing is too much trouble and the advice for trips is excellent too - even down to Molly B's for lunch. The Rocks is a walk away from the town but feels a world away and had everything needed for self catering including a barbecue.

Leaving - even when we'd added an extra night!

The room was spacious. The host has prepared another bed (sofabed), which I appreciated. Internet was good for my zoom call. What I liked about the most was the immaculate room and bathroom. You could use a lawn for ball playing. My son loved Monopoly board games. We played on the floor of the room. Very spacious room. You feel like you are on vacation.

We could not see the glowworm at 10 pm and 5am. What a bummer. The facilities are not soundproof well.

Friendly host, useful travel tips Situated away from the the town, just a few minutes drive. So many beautiful spots to be explored from Takaka, the spring, the falls, beaches, salmon farm for the lunch, many walks, we should stay longer. Beautiful unit with outdoor seating and beautiful sunset view and beautiful night sky, surrounded by birds songs. Well equipped apartment with everything we need. Laundry facilities are available at communal area. Interesting glow worm cave to be explored at night.

Nothing

The Chalet are so gorgeous, we stayed there the night before doing the Abel Tasman walk, and then came back after 3 days in the park, we asked for the sofa bed to be made as we were 2 friends traveling together and after all that walk we were very tired and needed a good night rest. They made the sofa bed with lots of padding and it was so confortable I slept like a baby. I really liked staying there, very private and quiet, lots of space. We could park our car no problem. I will definitely come back as I want to do the heaphy track next year. It' s also perfect location to go to the farewell spit. And 10 minutes drive from the Chalet there are beautiful water source and we also found a walk up to see some grottas. The little village of Takaka is also very cute, lots of cool little shop and cafe. Highly recommend this area and this accomodation.

It had everything and more in the space. Leanne showed me around the facilities and the extra things provided in the room. It was super clean, comfortable. I didn't use netflix or the speaker or read the newspaper, but cool to have those options. The bed was comfy, the body wash was handy because I forgot mine. To my great surprise, the outdoor bath. Yes!! I used the laundry, very straight forward straight forward.. They run a tight ship and it shows. Thank you very much for a very relaxing stay! I'll be coming again.

N/A!!

Our chalet (Kiwi) was spacious and had everything we needed for our stay. There were a lot of seating opportunities as well (inside and outside). The owner was very friendly and showed us everything when we arrived. We loved the view into the garden and could see birds and other wildlife and it was very quiet even though the main street was close by. There was also a small grotto on the premise, which was quite fun, even though we scared a bat and it scared us in return.

Everything was lovely and we enjoyed our stay.

We stayed in "Tui" in March. The cabin is in a great location with its own private garden area. The cabin has a well equipped kitchen where you could cook a meal if you were so inclined. We preferred to eat in Tekaka where there are several good eateries. The large bed was comfortable and the rest of the furnishings fitted well. There is a bath on the patio where you can soak while watching the stars or in my case watching the Fantails chase each other around the trees.

We really did wish we could have stayed longer but unfortunately someone else was booked in!

Very big room and bathrooms, great facilities with your own barbeque area and the shared kitchen space as well. Mother and son running the joint were very friendly but it still felt private, we barely ran into any other guests.

Our chalet looked out onto the driveway and office which was probably the worst spot but we did book very last minute. There were heaps of ants on our toilet but it’s just that season, wouldn’t expect the owners to be able to do anything about that!
