Ocean View Chalets

A brilliant stay in this fabulous resort. Chris and Jared were more than helpful. The walks from here are amazing. We ate in one of the restaurants nearby called The Hook. The food was really good. A fantastic place to stay.

We had a great experience here. We had a 1 bedroom chalet - it felt nicely secluded with beautiful green foliage, it was spacious, well stocked and had a nice view from the porch and a really comfortable bed. We added the breakfast, which was nice (coffee, juice, cereal, fresh fruit, yogurt, bread and eggs to order). It's a 10-15 min walk to Hooked and the outfitters, although AquaTaxi and R&R Kayaks are closer. It's only 5-10 min walk to the park entrance and the Park Cafe (where we had 2 really good dinners, pizza and fresh catch of the day). We would definitely recommend!

The most amazing view from the chalets, and the nicest couple who runs this place. The hostes have a huge insight into the area, and have great inputs to activities, that helped us a lot. I can highly recommend this place and wish we had more time here.

My wife and I took a self drive touring holiday on South Island New Zealand from the 17th March to the 11th April 2023. Apart from the first 2 nights and the last night where we stayed in a hotel in Christchurch we were self catering and stayed in accommodation that offered cooking facilities. I have reviewed each of the hotel/motels we stayed in. The following reviews cover the accommodation and some of the facilities/visits we made on the trip.

Days 18 to 22 of our self drive tour of South Island March/April 2023 Abel Tasman Ocean View Chalets 5 stars We stayed at the superb Abel Tasman Ocean View Chalets for 5 nights from the 1st to the 6th April. The view of the ocean from our chalet was excellent. Welcome. We were given a warm welcome by Jared the co-owner and were given a bottle of milk. Jared gave us details of how to get to the Abel Tasman National Park and details of where to find some walks in the area. Service. We asked to only have the room serviced once and it was done very well. We used the self service washing machine behind reception to wash the dirty laundry that had accumulated over the previous two weeks. Location. The Abel Tasman Ocean View Chalets are located a few minutes walk from the main entrance to The National Park. We were able to walk from our chalet into the park and on to a path along the coast. Comfort. The chalet was very comfortable and tastefully furnished. It consisted of a lounge area with a dining/breakfast table and chairs, a single bed, two easy chairs and a flat screen TV. The lounge area had windows on three sides giving a lot of light. It had a separate bedroom with a king size bed and a bathroom with an excellent shower. The bed linen was good quality and the towels were nice and fluffy. On the balcony there was a table and two chairs. The kitchenette had quite a lot of storage space for food and cooking equipment. There was a multipurpose oven/microwave with two electric plates combined in one unit. (See photo) When trying to cook a meal we found that you could not have the hobs and the microwave/conventional oven working at the same time. If you intend to do a lot of cooking you might be better off taking the larger Premium Chalet which has a full stove, dishwasher and fridge/freezer. Cleanliness. The unit was very clean as was the bed linen. WiFi. The Wifi was excellent. We had a very good signal and I was able to stream UK TV programmes using a VPN on my laptop. Conclusions. The Abel Tasman Ocean View Chalets are an excellent place to stay. The view of the ocean from the chalets is really nice. It was very comfortable and an excellent location. This was one of the nicest places that we stayed in.

Our 1 bedroom chalet was perfect for a couple. Very well equipped, serviced daily. Fantastic panorama from our balcony and very private. Comfortable bed, visiting piwakawaka and a pleasure to return to after touring Tasman and Golden Bays.

Location and Welcome: First Class Five star welcome and helpfulness from Chris who, upon arrival, sorted us out with the sea kayaking trip we’d been thinking about. The chalet accommodation did indeed have an ocean view and although it was quite small the room was very clean and contained everything we needed for our two night stay. We opted to take their breakfast which was a buffet and included eggs cooked according to preference. It was very nice and set us up for the day. If our itinerary had allowed, we’d happily have stayed longer.
