This was the last accommodation during our New Zealand trip and we have kept the best for last. What a beautiful chalet! The owners have clearly love and respect for their property. It is well-maintained and very clean. It offers all the comfort and luxury you need. It's beautifully styled. I love how the chalet is oriented on couples and not large families. It radiates romantic and peaceful vibes. The surroundings (mountains, fields) are amazing and the animals are soooo cute. I loved to watch the alpacas from my bed. I wish New Zealand was closer to home so I could visit again. Thank you for hosting us, we loved it so much! I highly, highly recommend staying here. And please: take care of this chalet like it is your own home.

    Waves is in an excellent location just a few minutes walk from town. Our two bedroom apartment was at the front of the building and enjoyed fabulous views out to sea. It had two outside balcony areas ideal for capturing different views for dinner and breakfast. The kitchen was very well appointed and contained all that you need to prepare meals. The bedrooms and bathrooms were both of a good size and spotlessly clean. Little or no road noise because of double glazing and a pretty quiet location.
