Such welcoming hosts, Sally and Giff were amazing. The chalet was so warm and comfortable with the most beautiful outlook towards the wetland and at night, fantastic views of the night sky. I so enjoyed walking from my chalet through the native bush and along the road to the Mangarakau Wetland where I spent hours marveling at the wonderful views of the lakes and cliffs above. The birdlife was incredible; in fact I never saw another person while walking the tracks so had the whole place to myself. Also enjoyed a short trip to see the glow worms and weta cave, as well as a fresh water crayfish in one of the pools. Sally could not have been more helpful even arranging a ride for me back to Takaka with a local nurse. I highly recommend a visit to this amazing spot.
