John and Jane was the best host during our 2 weeks trip in South Island. They were welcoming, friendly and helpful. The chalet was clean, tidy, comfortable with a great view too. Jane provided an additional mattress for my teen son, which he preferred compared to a sofa bed. Thank you Jane and John for your hospitality, it made our stay that much more enjoyable.

A private little gem just out of Riwaka. If you like to wake hearing the birds sing and look out over a tranquil view of mountains and sea, this is the place for you. Three lovely chalets set among the trees on the owners property. Very comfortable bed, nice settee and all other amenities in the chalet for a restful self contained stay. We loved it. Your hosts Jane and John are friendly, helpful, but not intrusive.

Lovely chalet, close to the beach and town. Awesome views to wake up to and enjoy a morning coffee. Chalet was well appointed with essentials, heaps of parking outside your room.

The chalets are basic one room (with bed, kitchen, dining table and lounge) and separate nice modern shower. They are located in a very pleasant rural property with surrounding orchards and a great view. The owner was friendly and helpful. It had all we needed. We'd stay there again.

There were mice living in the chalet but Jane notified us ahead so we could cancel if we wished, also once there she offered to swap the room we were staying in. I will definetly be staying here again. Lovely couple, lovely situation. Mice were in the process of being evicted while we were staying, I didn't mind them at all being from the country myself.

Can’t say enough about this lovely property! Amidst a lot of craziness with travel changes in light of a pandemic, this property was an oasis of beauty and calm. Jane couldn’t have been more accommodating. We can’t recommend Terraced Chalets highly enough and would love to come back when the world returns to normal.

Stay here! Joan and John are simply the best. There are 3 units overlooking the beautiful surrounding landscape, so make sure to book early since space may run out! Each unit is its own freestanding structure with parking right in front. We’ve stayed at ~7 similar places and this one was by far the nicest! Sparkling clean too. Very convenient for heading over to Abel Tasman as well.
