We found Chalets @ Terraced Gardens to be very clean, extremely comfortable and very well equipped for the self catered traveler. The surrounding area is beautiful and an excellent location for exploring Abel Tasman. Kim the owner was incredibly helpful and friendly and our only regret was that we only booked 2 nights here.

Spent 3 nights there and is was well worth the money. Very friendly and helpful owners. We bought some of their home made tomato chutney and it was delicious. As it is a bit outside Riwaka you would need a car to get there, but those who are looking for a quiet place to stay it's perfect.

Our chalet was clean, comfortable and spacious with a nice closet and drawers. The setting was marvelous, deck wonderful and kitchen had all needed necessities. Kim, the owner, was gracious, resourceful and saved our day from a rained out disaster by finding wonderful activities for us nearby. She even did our laundry. I can not disagree with the previous reviewer... More

Spent 3 nights here, wanted to leave after 15 mins. Dirty floor (pubic hairs) when I wiped the floor with a damp paper towel it was filthy, fridge handle was disgusting, half empty milk left in it. Horrible cheap rough sheets, we had to go buy pillows because I wasn't sleeping on those. No luggage rack, no space to keep... More

When I take each guest, personally, to the chalets to show them the facilities I make sure to tell them to come to see me if there is anything else they need or any problems, so I am at a loss to understand why you did not approach me once in three days even though we live on site and... More

Thanks Kim. My friend and I just love this place. We spent only one night here in Feb 2013, and we did not wanna leave. Spacious room, spotlessly clean, quiet, well equipped facilities, great surroundings. We even bought a bag of apples as Kim suggested, very nice..

The ultimate accommodation in the Abel Tasman area! Kim and John are incredible hosts and have literally thought of everything in the creation of these self-contained chalets. I have to begin by saying that although there are many fantastic things about this place, the biggest and best value is the generous and hospitable care that Kim and John provide. It... More

If you are looking for a quiet, self-contained place in the Abel Tasman area look no further. We stayed 3 nights near the end of November and truly wished we had another couple of days. An affordable option that will exceed your expectations. Here are the details: LOCATION: The property is actually located in Riwaka, a short drive from Motueka... More

A beautiful location, green, lush and serene and the chalet is just as nice as its surroundings. Clean and new-looking, high-quality linen, towels and kitchen utensils and the views are fantastic. The amusing pair of quail chasing each other all over the place are an added bonus. Thanks Kim, we would love to return and for more than one night... More

There are only 3 chalets at this property which sits elevated on a hill quite a way behind the host's residence and farmland, with great views looking towards the tasman bay. Very peaceful and tranquil location. Our chalet was well presented with a queen size bed, great linen (more luxuries that your average motel/hotel set up), well stocked kitchen, large... More
