    Everything was perfect.

    Absolutely stunning chalet with panoramic ocean views - just outside of Napier. Clean, comfortable, spacious, well equipped, modern furnishings, and gorgeous views from every room, Pictures don’t do it justice. Owners were delightful and provided numerous local recommendations for shopping, tours, wineries, etc. A perfect stay – so glad we booked!!

    The Haven on Earth

    • Submitted via mobile

    The chalet is located high up on the hill, and it has sweeping views of surroundings: winiards and ocean. The lining room has 3 huge sliding doors, opening to a porch. You may spend all day admiring the vews. Inside the chalet, everything is made with great care and taste. The owners are very welcoming and generous. In the kitchen, you will find all you can possibly need, all appliances are upscale, and everything is in perfect shape and on its place. 5 stars doesn't describe this place, but the "Haven on Earth" is getting closer.

    Very small thing - the kettle might need to be replaced. It squeals the whole time it’s on!

    Views were spectacular. Perfect property for a couple. Great to have a separate toilet as well as en suite.

    A little noise from SH3.

    We only ever book accommodation that shows loads of 5*. Chalet Swen Song offers a level of appointment that makes some of our previous bookings look like hovels. First class fittings, fitments and furniture combined with a stunning location put this accommodation head and shoulders above anything we've stayed in before.

    A modern, very clean property in a beautiful beautiful location. Very well fitted out with everything that you could want. It is a self check-in but the owner still came down to ensure we were ok. Complimentary bottle of wine in fridge was a nice touch.

    This is a beautiful home with an amazing panoramic view. It is a modern, very clean, and comfortable space. Has a beautiful well equipped kitchen and a great shower. Large windows in every room allows you to enjoy the views wherever you are. We enjoyed many hours on the ample wrap around deck. Hosts were communicative and friendly. A perfect stay.
