We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Waters. It is a lovely property and the family/owners are wonderful. Rob is a wealth of knowledge about the area and New Zealand. He was able to book an activity for us after hours for the next day which was amazing. He also offered a charcuterie board and wine dinner to end our busy day! We would definitely return here and highly recommend to others!

The perfect getaway with amazing views.

I didn’t want to leave! This place is a hidden gem and one K.D. the best places I’ve ever stayed. The room was everything I could have needed with an incredibly comfortable bed. The breakfast was great and so convenient to have it in your room the night before so you could eat whenever worked for you the next day. And the views...they can’t be beat. The sunrise over the ocean is just outside your door and the haze from the sunset over the mountains in the distance at your back door. Such a beautiful and relaxing space and the woman who runs it is a great wealth of knowledge about the area. I will be back....and hoping sooner than later.

Could be fantastic

Beautifully set on the coast in a quiet location. Fantastic room design. Could be ideal, but: came Into a room that smelled from smoke (turn to be burning wood in the area), The place would greatly benefit from a-heating (the heating system blows air directly at the head of the bad but is not sufficient to hold the temperature); b-clean new towels; bathroom rugs, (the floor was freezing). The lady owner was extremely helpful and nice.

Killer views, wonderful staff

We stayed 2 nights during our trip through the south island. The views at this hotel are TO DIE FOR! With the sea out back and the pond out front, it was easy to take it all in and relax. Claire was an amazing host. The breakfast (and wine selection) that was provided was delicious (lots of "winery" style items like cured meats, cheese, and fresh fruit). The family dog, Zeta, who we met at check in was delightful. The only negative is that the walls between the 2 rooms are pretty thin. We had to be careful not to make too much noise to not disturb our neighbors. This didn't cause us any inconvenience though, as the room came with an alarm clock/sound machine. We just turned on the "rain" noise to cover up the sound of our neighbor's tv. The hotel is a short drive from a few awesome restaurants on the Wharf. And in close proximity to Kaiteriteri where we took off on an excursion to Abel Tasman. Would definitely recommend The Waters and hope to return some day!
