Located in Takaka, 10 minutes' drive from the beach, The Rocks Chalets features air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi throughout the property. Free private parking is available on site.

All rooms are fitted with a flat-screen TV, private bathroom and a fully equipped kitchenette. They feature an outside sitting area where you can relax. For your comfort, you will find free toiletries and condiments. 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.
