Chalet Swen Song

6 star chalet in amazing location. Quality fittings and furnishings throughout, everything clean and well presented and friendly hosts.

Leaving.

Clean, modern and well appointed.

Could do with a new non stick pan in the kitchen, wooden spoon and kitchen tongs. Not a criticism just a suggestion.

The Chalet was excellent; the views of the sea and surrounding landscape were superb. Communications with Ngaire and Ron was excellent, they were friendly and they came down to see us to make sure everything was ok. We would definitely stay there again if we were coming up to stay in Napier.

Ther was nothing to dislike about staying at Chalet Swen Song

The property was amazing! It has everything you need. Incredibly clean and tidy and the views were amazing! Was only a short trip away but my husband and I will definitely be back.

Nothing. It was perfect.

Awesome views - perfect place to stay!

The accommodation is a brilliant chalet with a gorgeous view over the Pacific Ocean slightly outside of Napier but very close to the airport. The property is well equipped, very clean and spacious, and I truly enjoyed my stay. Sometimes it is hard to find the right accommodation in the Hawkes Bay as they are either substandard or too expensive, here I found something at a reasonable price with exceptional quality, hence highly recommended.

There is only one small disclaimer, the property is currently on the market and by the time you may read this, the accommodation may not be any more available or not at the current standard.

Location is perfect if you want to be close to town centre but still have the out-of-town experience. The hosts were incredibly friendly and approachable, the most amazing couple. The panoramic view is just gorgeous. Bottom line, this is an absolute gem, and we will definitely book this house again when we visit Napier

Our stay was absolutely perfect, would not change a thing.

Uitzicht is fenomenaal. Je kunt er in fijne stoeltjes buiten zitten. Keuken is goed uitgerust en appartement is leuk ingericht. Bed is goed.

Alles prima

A fabulous chalet. Fantastic views. Stylish & spacious. Really comfortable. The hosts had thought of everything. Couldn't recommend enough as we didn't want to leave. V kind and thoughtful hosts.

Quite a steep private road up but not a problem.

Amazing place to stay…. Quiet, relaxing and view was beautiful! Will definitely be back and highly recommend.

Eveything was perfect

Nothing to faullt

The chalet was a beautiful place to stay, beautifully clean, with a great bed and a great bathroom, An exceptional view. Would highly recommend!

Everything about this hotel was wonderful, the amazing scenery, the excellent value, and the fact that prices stayed similar even during a public holiday. This stay truly became the highlight of our trip.

Het beviel ons zo goed dat wij ons verblijf met 2 dagen verlengd hebben. Fantastische ligging, mooi appartement van alle gemakken voorzien. Dichtbij Napier. Zeer vriendelijke hosts. Aanrader.

The location was good but the view was very

We had a wonderful stay! Beautiful space, comfortable and modern. Loved the view and lying in bed looking out over the ocean every morning.

A fantastic property with stunning views. The best property we stayed at in NZ

Everything was fantastic. The property has all the modern amenities and are very clean. Hosts are friendly. And the $5mil view... is amazing!! Thanks for recommending Bay View Fish & Chips and the nice bottle of wine.

This place is unique, a private, independent unit set high on a hilltop with sweeping views of the ocean and vineyards below. Very modern but cosy, with wonderful outdoor seating as well. Lodging-wise, this was a highlight of our trip to New Zealand.

You have to drive up a steep access road, a bit scary the first time

If we could give this 110/10 we would. It was perfect for our road trip. Excellent quality throughout the accommodation. Could not fault it.

The views are amazing from every room.

There is some noise from the highway, but nothing the owners can do about that.

We loved everything about this lovely place! It’s very modern, wonderful amenities, super clean, and the hilltop location can’t be beat.

Not a thing.

Beautiful view and amazing host. If relax is what you ask for in Napier, then this is it.. look no further.

WiFi strength isn't great. Many times it will drop off and disappear.

The location was perfect and our hosts were very helpful, unobtrusive and absolutely lovely. The wine glasses were of good size, a coffee plunger was in the cupboard, pre made ice (and plenty of it) with a chilled quality bottle of wine awaiting on our arrival. Stunning views and quiet.

The previous guests had unfortunately played around with the TV settings which made it impossible to watch but when advised our hosts were immediately on site to address the situation.

Pictures are accurate, propably should add more with the great view you get. Super view from every room over Hawke Bay till Napier Luxury house with everything you need for 2 people Great outdoor area allowing to always enjoy the sun, as it goes around the house Owner welcomed us and also had already AC switched on and bottle of wine cold, you cannot feel more welcome

Should have stayed longer

Luxurious cottage. Magnificent views. Great location.

Superb views, well equipped, clean and excellent location.

Nothing- loved it all!

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!!

Everything was perfect.

Everything

Nothing. Though adding a bathtub or a jacuzzi would make the place even better.

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.

This property was just breathtaking. The hosts were very helpful and kind. We would love to come back

Nothing

A lovely unit, very clean, well appointed and really nice hosts. We appreciated the complimentary bottle of wine. The view was spectacular and great outdoor area with bbq. We wish we had the time to stay longer

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

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

Could not fault anything! Stunning location and views. Very well equipped, spacious and comfortable. Hosts very approachable and friendly.

You will do well to find a fault! Just disappointed we could not stay longer!

Absolutely stunning location and accommodation. Clean, modern and breathtaking views. Amenities were great and even a chilled bottle of wine in the fridge.

Just simply amazing

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 little noise from SH3.

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.

Nothing

The condition of the accommodation and the view were impeccable and fantastic; the host also left us a delicious bottle of wine, we will stay here again on our next visit.

noted

- EVERYTHING! If we could give 11/10 stars, we would! - located up on a hill, the apartment offers breathtaking views and a quiet area - very clean and very well looked after - very spacious - amazing and well groomed garden - the most caring and friendly hosts that make you feel welcome and offer wonderful recommendations to make your stay in Napier a very special one - would come back anytime

- we loved everything and wish we could have stayed longer

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.

Nothing ( We loved everything)

Stunning, relaxing views and it was just what we needed. The owners are lovely and make your stay 10x better. We had a gig in Napier which they dropped us off to and even left us a bottle of wine. Very accommodating. Highly recommend!

Great location amazing views and very private Very well equipped with quality linen appliances etc with anything that would be required for staying here Extremely comfortable bed and seating in a new spacious chalet Ngaire and Ron made us feel very welcome never imposing and recommended places for us to visit etc The bottle of wine left for us in the fridge we enjoyed thanks Ngaire and Ron thank you so much for enabling Pete and I to share your beautiful property you should feel very proud of all your hard work achieving what you have.

Absolutely nothing we couldn't fault this place

The chalets location was absolutely superb, morning sunrise view was incredible. Chalet was modern roomy and the bed was magic. Bonus was a complimentary bottle of wine.

To be honest not a single thing with this property disappointed our stay.

clean and comfortable clothes washer and dryer which was a bonus modern furnishings great views and location

all good

incredible views, and had everything we needed! we’ll definitely stay again when we’re in the bay.

nothing, it was great!

awesome property with a great view and privacy. our hosts were very responsive & friendly. We are glad we stayed here!

the weather was wet & cold for the few days' stay. would be great if there is some form of heating in the bedroom too.
