comfortable house in quiet location
Val’s house is very comfortable and well equipped. It gets warm in the afternoon but catches lots of sea breeze. Communication was easy. Val lives across the road and was very friendly and checked in on us to have sure we had everything we needed. It was a great stay.We were mainly in Kaiteriteri as a base for day hikes in the park which worked well. One day we walked in from Marahau (a 15 min drive) to Apple Tree, which was just ok. The walks and beaches are nicer further in—so it is as better to get a water taxi to Bark Bay (or Tonga Quarry) and hike to Awaroa to get picked up. Although the taxis are expensive, those were nicer hikes and beaches. Be aware of winds in the afternoon can make a choppy return trip.Our only issue with the house location was the walk down to the beach is kind of a steep haul and involves a stretch walking on a narrow and winding road with no shoulder. There is some traffic in summer, so I would not be comfortable with kids doing it alone and would not want to do it myself after dark. Just something to be aware of if you plan on mainly using the Kaiteriteri beaches.

***MAGICAL STAY AT VAL’S!!!***
Our stay at Val’s was absolutely magical! The house itself, is perfect! It was spotless, and had everything we could possibly have asked for. It had a beautiful comfy feel to it, it was like a home away from home, we really did fall in love with it. The location is 10/10, we enjoyed the stroll into the shops each day for our morning coffee, the views are breath-taking, and Val is the perfect host (thanks also to Karina!). I’m already planning my next trip back down to stay at Val’s!

Excellent private location in Kaiteriteri
Beautiful private home in a quiet, safe neighborhood, easy walk to the beach and easy access to boats/excursions to Abel Tasman National Park. Our hostess Val was very kind and helpful. The house had beautiful views of the ocean from all angles and it had everything we needed! We will definitely recommend Val's Chalet to friends!

Lovely and relaxing
The chalet was perfect for a relaxing wee break, it had everything we needed and more (even a brand new queen size bed in the master bedroom ).The views from upstairs looking out to little Kaiteriteri on one side and to the Abel Tasman on the other were fantastic. Thanks Val and Belle for being great hosts, we would be very happy to book here again.

Lovely house on the hill in Kaiteriteri
We had a lovely break at Val’s cottage on the hill above Kaiteriteri. The house was very clean and exactly as described, and had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. Directions for access were very simple and clear. We left the car in the carport and walked down the hill to catch the sea shuttle into the National Park each day. It’s about a 10min walk down to the beach (slightly longer on the way up!). The cottage is in a very quiet area and has views of the ocean from upstairs. A great little place in Kaiteriteri!

Hidden Gem
My husband and I and our two teenage boys stayed for three nights at the chalet. The boys loved the upstairs loft with an outdoor balcony and comfy window seat offering a great view of the beach and beautiful surrounding areas. The treck up/down to the main Kaiteriteri beach, although not long and really very enjoyable does require a reasonable level of fitness. The log burner was set up and ready to go and on the night we used it was awesome. Val, our host, made us feel welcome and at home.
