Light and bright with triple aspect seaviews

I had a really relaxing time in this studio. Garden playgThe views are simply amazing, especially on the balcony. Kitchen is well equipped. Minor improvement maybe window, child lock, extractor fan and clothes rack. A car is necessary if steep hill walking is not for you. Overall, none of the minor points matters to us we love our stay, many thanks.

PARADISE IN NGUNGURU

From start to finish this place was a winner. The owner was excellent in answering my queries in the week leading up to our arrival. No detail was missed in terms of accessing the property. There was even a very thoughtful book put together by them outlining every detail of our stay. The accommodation was super cute, with everything being of great quality right down to the dinner set and cutlery provided. There was also nice touches like a nutribullet, coffee machine and travel cups should you wish to take a hot drink out with you.The views from the unit were also spectacular, meaning we will definitely be booking here again.

A slice of paradise

We have stayed before, and Cedar Heights Chalet continues to be our yearly go to place. Nestled in bush, high up in the hills, with views over Ngunguru, this place is just a delight to stay at. There is everything at the Chalet that you need. The place is tastefully decorated, clean, and with comfortable beds. The birdlife and surrounds are beautiful, along with being able to see the stars through windows and a skylight if one wishes to. The owners and communication is easy. Cedar Heights Chalet is a place where you can rest and rejuvenate, a little oasis and slice of paradise!

A perfect stay

I stayed three nights in order to join friends on 'A Perfect Day' boat cruise from Tutukaka. Cedar Heights Chalet was super comfortable, clean and well appointed. It was a great base from which to do exploring along the coast. Everything worked well, from the Fisher and Paykel dish drawer to the wifi which I needed to connect to work each day. The studio plus was roomy and super quiet as well. But the stand out feature was the utterly spectacular view which reached right across Ngunguru Bay and beyond. Many thanks!

Relaxation and views

Compact and very well provisioned. Perfect for a couple on a short stay. Beautiful views are only achieved by a long steep drive, which would challenge some. We’d happily return.
