We arrived late but Robert arrived within the promised 8 seconds when we rang, and we were soon installed in the beautiful chalet. Watched the ocean view dawn from bed the next morning and then from the living area - blissful. There were horses and geese in the field below and pukehas pottering about with their chicks.
Chalet was very...

We enjoyed 2 fantastic nights in our lovely chalet which was spotlessly clean and very comfortable with great views over the spectacular Abel Tasman coastline.
We were welcomed and shown to our chalet by a very polite and considerate young lady who also advised us about tours and things to do. We booked a day boat tour through her which...

We loved our beautiful cabin and stayed 3 nights there. Great location for hiking along the Abel Tasman coastlines. Marahau is a very small town, but the 2 restaurants we ate at were both great. We would highly recommend this place.
We loved these wooden chalets. It was clean and very comfortable. We had lovely views and enjoyed exploring the area. We loved doing our shopping in Motueka, and there were great eating places.
Torn between giving this 3 versus 4 stars, but made 4 stars the official. The primary appeal of this property is the location. Abel Tasman is incredibly beautiful and this property is nestled into the hillside nearby. We had a nice view from our one bedroom chalet but some chalets clearly have better views than others. As others have mentioned...

One of the few properties in Marahau, this one has a great view as it is tucked into the hillside. We had a 1 BR chalet that was compact clean and comfortable. The owners were friendly and accommodating. We liked being able to prepare our own meals and sit on the small balcony to enjoy them. All units are fairly...

I spent two nights at Ocean View Chalets on the edge of the Abel Tasman NP in March 2012. I did a bit of walking in the park so the location of the chalets is perfect as it's only about a ten minute walk to the start of the Coast Track. The whole team at the chalets were really friendly...

Beautiful accommodations, friendly staff, nice view, within walking distance of the town and restaurants, very private and spacious... Need I go on? The staff were also very helpful with booking activities, giving directions for us as we were heading to our next destination, and offered a very convenient packed lunch! One of our favorite accommodations for our entire South Island...

We booked 2 nights at Ocean View Chalets for our visit to Abel Tasman. We arrived about 10 in the morning and although our room was understandably not ready, the owner quickly helped us arrange sea kayaking and we were on our way by 10:15am. We were picked up and dropped off at reception by the water taxi people.
