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 11 Apr 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 28 May 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 6 Nov 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 22 Mar 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 22 May 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 24 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Peter Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Coach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-The-Coach-Hotel.h21595320.Hotel-Information) > > [Rainhill Hall](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Liverpool-Hotels-Rainhill-Hall.h66854658.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Rotorua](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rotorua-Hotels-Ibis-Rotorua.h1131218.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Giraffe by Library Hotel Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-York-Hotels-Hotel-Giraffe-By-Library-Hotel-Collection.h455867.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Howden](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Howden-Hotels.d182549.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Grande Centre Point Ratchadamri](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bangkok-Hotels-Grande-Centre-Point-Ratchadamri.h1941991.Hotel-Information) > > [Mirador Maspalomas by Dunas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Bartolome-De-Tirajana-Hotels-Mirador-Maspalomas-By-Dunas.h1650004.Hotel-Information) > > [Anastasia Studios](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kefalonia-Hotels-Anastasia-Studios.h18804742.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in San Pedro de Alcantara](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Pedro-De-Alcantara-Marbella-Hotels.0-n6023685-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Lost Camel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yulara-Hotels-The-Lost-Camel.h4805954.Hotel-Information) > > [Iberostar Selection Lanzarote Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yaiza-Hotels-Iberostar-Selection-Lanzarote-Park.h1932419.Hotel-Information) > > [Plaza Marchi Old Town - MAG Quaint & Elegant Boutique Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Split-Hotels-Plaza-Marchi-Old-Town-MAG-Quaint-Elegant-Boutique-Hotels.h26746276.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Cala Vadella](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cala-Vadella-Hotels.d6243335.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Tongariro Suites at The Rocks](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Horopito-Hotels-Tongariro-Suites-At-The-Rocks.h9679404.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Lake Como](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Como-Villas.d6024900-aaVillas.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Richmond Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Richmond-Hotels-Richmond-Holiday-Park.h29218591.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Tallahassee](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tallahassee-Hotels.d6048214.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Rainforest Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Franz-Josef-Glacier-Hotels-Rainforest-Retreat.h7088168.Hotel-Information) > > [Rosewood Matakauri](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Matakauri-Lodge.h1097561.Hotel-Information) > > [Golf Hotels in Mediterranean Coast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mediterranean-Coast-Hotels-Golf-Hotels.0-0-d6054860-tGolfHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Burnsall](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burnsall-Hotels.d6048871.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Anglers paradise and great family holiday place](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Makarora-Hotels-Anglers-Paradise-And-Great-Family-Holiday-Place.h37278832.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Manchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/2205/flights-from-manchester) ### Cars > [Alamo Rent A Car Car Rentals In London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alamo-Rent-A-Car-Car-Rentals-In-London.d178279-c6.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Activities > [Things to do in Vrindavan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Vrindavan.d6330856.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Charlotte](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Charlotte.d178247.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### General > [Visit Bochum](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bochum.dx5395) > > [Visit Cadenabbia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cadenabbia.dx6035393) > > [Visit Cales](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cales.dx3000039431)
