This was an outstanding property. The room was amazing… the kitchen was well stocked and super clean. What made this property extra special was the fact it had a small glow worm cave!!

Super cabins amongs tge rock formations
Super cabins located amongst the unusual rock formations. Well equipped, spotlessly clean and well maintained. Very friendly and helpful staff. Short distance from town centre and short drive to great attractions including the Wainui falls, beautiful coast road and the Grove rock formations.

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!

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!

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

Kevin

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.
