The Innlet, Country Apartments and Cottages

Gorgeous cottage

There was nothing not to like. But note: I was in a hurry when i was booking and didn’t realise It’s an open plan studio layout I mistakenly thought 1 bedroom ment there was a seperate bedroom. This is not a criticism it’s a gorgeous cottage.

We liked the cleanliness, everything was spotless. Also, the bed was super comfortable. The kitchen area was well-appointed, with even some cooking oil.

Considering the high standard of everything, we were disappointed that there was no milk in the fridge.

So close to the beach and the each housing unit was easy to find

The Ruru cottage is the unit we stayed in. It is a unique and charming cottage with a gurgling stream nearby. It is well outfitted for cooking, relaxing, and sharing Company.

We knew this going in, but it is not on the beach, so just be aware of that.

Hébergement situé au calme dans un cadre magnifique, très bien équipé et très confortable. Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour. Je recommande 👌

Perfect and tranquil. We used it as a little retreat to do some writing together and was perfect!

Nothing

Quiet, comfortable, relaxing.

We liked the decor and ingenious use of space

Super emplacement. Un petit havre de paix au milieu de la nature. Tout était parfait !

A unique cottage in the country. Lots of room with 3 bedrooms. Two bedrooms in the loft may be a problem for some but added to the charm. Bathroom worked but was not a typical motel style.. has a wood burner for chilly days.

The ladders to the lofty beds were vertical and one had to be careful if when using.

Quiet and clean. Hosts were helpful and fast.

Would have preferred toilet and shower connected to living quarters with a door. It was exclusive but external. Required a flashlight at night.

Mooie afgelegen locatie, appartement was goed ingericht.

De oudbolligheid droop er vanaf. Maar dat pastte goed bij de locatie.

Lovely stay in the tranquility of a nice garden. The cottage had everything we needed.

The bathroom is modern but it is quite a tight fit! 😁

Bardzo klimatyczny domek, z ciekawym wystrojem, kominkiem i trzema sypialniami. Bardzo dobra baza wypadowa na Wharariki Beach. Świetny stosunek ceny do jakości.

Brak rozpałki i palnika do kominka. Chłodno nad ranem. Dość niski standard łazienki.

Wir hatten eine späte Ankunft. Leider wurden alle Fenster und Türen geöffnet und wir hatten dadurch Dutzende Mücken die Nacht.

These are really quirky cottages in a wonderful setting.

Nothing, all good

Michael & Misha are generous hosts, the property is very well cared for, it's just off the main road but incredibly private and you are soothed by the sounds of birds and a nearby brook. My cabin had everything one could need includging fresh cookies for afternoon tea~coffee. The recommadation for dinner was great and their location is not only just off Golden Bay but the perfect midway between Cape of Farewell and Collingwood.

Nothing to say here.

Comfortable, quiet peaceful surroundings.

The property was delightful in bush by a stream

Gute Ausstattung

Wifi sehr schwach und oft nicht verfügbar ..

Cute little cottage.

Outside toilet with limited lighting to get to it. Could have used a double adapter as not many power outlets.

Not interested in writing anything.

The Garden Lodge was genuinely very clean - credit where it’s due, the place was spotless and clearly well looked after. The location also appears wonderfully isolated, giving you that peaceful, tucked-away-in-nature first impression when you arrive.

The lodge enthusiastically stretches the definition of “cosy” well into “how-do-I-turn-around-without-rearranging-the-room” territory. Space is… intimate. Very intimate. Despite the seemingly secluded setting, privacy is more of an optimistic suggestion than a reality. You can clearly hear the neighbours chatting - and snoring - at night, which makes earplugs less of an accessory and more of a necessity. Walking around the property also feels slightly risky, as you may unintentionally intrude on other guests’ privacy (or vice versa). And finally, the electric kettle featured a mysterious layer of slime inside - an unexpected extra that we did not order with our tea.

Położenie - blisko głównej drogi, ale w ogóle nie było jej słychać, kilka minut samochodem do plaży. Podwórko ze stolikiem na wyłączność. Duży salon z kuchnią, bardzo wygodne łóżko

Słabe wifii

The spacious grounds complete with stream. Very restful in the garden setting.

This is not a five star property! The place was rundown, poorly provisioned and needs a lot of attention in terms of health and safety issues. The flagstones have edges raised and are “trip material“ at every step as is the raised door sill within the rooms inviting another fall. There is no hot water in the bathroom, and no towels provided. When asked for replacement towels they were washed out, worn out thin towels that are certainly not in keeping with a property asking the higher end price for a night accommodation. A photo will show the extremely poor supply of glassware crockery etc and the the whole setup was more like a camping site

Misha ist ein toller Gastgeber. Die Lage ist prima, die Unterkunft mitten im Grünen gelegen. Sehr speziell.

Lovely, peaceful surroundings. Very helpful, friendly hosts.

Outside private bathroom.

Very much off the beaten trac, quaint and cosy layout with some old-fashioned aspects in kitchen and bathroom. Location good for us as he headed off to the Heaphy Track the next morning

Nothing specific - we arrived late and had to leave early and were a bit flustered trying to get organised. I was hoping to rely on wifi when we arrived to make contact with the host (no phone signal) but I wasn't able to get it working from the driveway. Luckily the host came out at that point and helped us orient ourselves.

It's really idylic, a perfect little spot, beutifully maintained with wildflowers and nestled by a stream. Just the perfect place for a peaceful getaway.

Nothing, was perfect.

We loved the cottage we stayed in. Everything was so homely and cosy with lots of attention to detail. The beds were super comfy and the kitchen well stocked. We would love to stay again.

We loved everything. The only thing you need to be aware of is that no cards are taken for payment.

Beautiful garden with a wide variety of flowers, which made the stay very pleasant. The owner/staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. The location is very convenient, especially if you’re planning to visit Wharariki Beach and Farewell Spit.

The Wi-Fi was a bit slow, but that’s understandable given how remote the location is.

Stunning location, cozy bed, had what we needed

Some insect screens might be a good addition

Our little cottage was idyllic- right next to a beautiful little creek and stunning surroundings. Would highly recommend for great location to local attractions and a relaxing get away. Perfect!

Nothing

The location is fantastic. Beautiful piece of land and scenery.

Nothing very much recommended.

Location and apartment

The beautiful location. Rustic charm.

We stayed at the garden cottage, it is a bit small but cosy and comfortable. The beds and pillows were comfortable, bedding and towels smelt fresh & clean, unlike most accommodations.. Loved the fact that there is a small electric stove..

Hosts are very friendly and welcoming.

Nothing to not like.

It was homely

Users of the barbecue need to clean up afterwards

Such a quaint and quite cottage ... so much birdsong to listen to ... and the creek right next door ... fresh flowers at the door ... the bbq area ... highly recommend

Having to leave 😕

Location, fun place a bit different. Well equipped

Access to the upper bedrooms was ok for us - ut wold be limited for people who were not so agile

Traumhafte kleine Hütte an einer idyllischen Wiese neben einem kleinen Bach. Klein aber sehr sauber und alles da, was man braucht! Von hier aus ca 25 Minuten zum Windows 10 Beach zu fahren (plus 20 Minuten laufen). Self Check In war ebenfalls absolut unkompliziert.

Schon etwas teurer im Vergleich zu anderen Unterkünften in Neuseeland

Cet endroit est vraiment agréable, calme, dans la nature avec un petit cours d'eau en bas de la propriété. Les hébergements sont confortables et variés : exemple maison des backpapers, yourte, cabane en bois. Les propriétaires sympathiques et accueillants. À proximité d'une plage et sur la route du Cap Farewell. Bref, une belle pause dans notre road-trip.

Quiet, beautiful bush, relaxing.

Muck around with payment,

The journey to it and location.

Described as 5 star apartments/studio/cottages but actually some huts with a DIY rustic level of accomodation. Limited amenities on or off site.

Loved the location and the rustic feel to the cabin. Had everything we needed, great bathroom and a comfy bed. Hosts were super welcoming and informative.

Nothing noticeable. Maybe if bathroom was inside, but that added to the charm of the place.

We've stayed at the Innlet before and the ruru cottage is such a cosy and beautiful place to stay. Highly recommend!

Everything is great, Heather greeted us and showed us around and set up the fire; she was nice and friendly. The cottage is fully equipped

The hot water pressure isn't very high but usable

Wir waren im Apartment untergebracht. Es war nach einem tollen Tag am Meer und der Küste genau der richtige Ort für Entspannung und Erholung! Es gab einen kleinen Holzofen und auch die Küche war gut ausgestattet. Die Lage macht es sehr ruhig. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Schade war, dass wir nur so kurz da bleiben konnten.

The hosts were so lovely, kind, helpful and welcoming. We were running late, but that was no problem. Thank you!

We liked everything. The setting at the Innlet is gorgeous. Everything was as explained.

Peaceful & comfortable.. Good communication. Good base for Golden Bay area.

Not great wifi or spark mobile signal if you need that. Weather was rough so may have been the reason

Outside in the bush. Quiet nature and wonderful nights sleep. Lovely relaxing vibe.

A little strange nobody on site and difficult to understand when you're from overseas with no consistent internet connection.

The location was stunning, and we had a fantastic holiday.

Location - the cottage was cute & cosy

No milk, no clear instructions - confusion about what room you were in & nobody to greet you at arrival. A little muddling but it all turned out okay. I think the room was too small for a queen bed & a single - should only be one only.

Not provided

No service

The remote location was great and the rainforest and landscape was stunning. The people went out of their help to help and make your stay enjoyable. It was a cool night and the slow combustion fire was magic There was room to spread out and the facilities were all adequate. Fairwell Spit Tours picked us up on the road outside so we didn’t have to drive into town- thank you to the owner of the property that organised this for us.

We thought there could have been a more rustic decor but apart from that little personal reflection it was perfect and we would choose this place over places in nearby Collingwood again if we go to Golden Bay again.

Garden

The price for what we get, was acceptable, but normally for this money, you get much more with other accommodations.

The serenity of this place was perfect. Bubbling stream right beside the cottage, comfy space to chill in. It was so relaxing.

Nothing. It was great.

A beautiful mansion in the forest with a nearby river stream and a lot of nature.

the room and the level of accommodation is less than average. There is no fan (we asked about a fan, Katie "the host" suggested we go buy one...). There are no nets in the windows, lots of all kind off flys inc bees. No milk for coffee (after a request she did a favor and brought some), Water in the shower barely flows. Small sink in bathroom only cold water. Not recommended.

Very charming and cosy place.

Wi-fi coverage is not great

Well equipped and comfortable and we loved the beautiful BBQ down by the creek. The peaceful garden was a joy and the birds were a delight

Cottage was cosy and the cabin was in a quiet and peaceful setting, other guests were quiet.

The cottage was equipped with everything you need for an overnight stay. The surrounding garden was beautiful, enjoyed sitting outside in the sun:-)

Maybe a new paint job would help to brighten the place up:-) Felt a bit dated

It's such a peaceful beautiful spot. Great location for visiting wharariki beach, the mussel Inn and pakawau beach.

Apartments/cottages surrounded by a lush rain forest. Well equipped kitchen in every unit. With easy access to the main points of interest in the area: Wharariki/Farewell Spit within 30 minutes, east coast of Abel Tasman within 1 hour driving. Can recommend Collingwood's Courthouse Coffee (10 minutes) and Mussel Inn for food - 15 minutes away.

Charming hidden gem tucked away from the main road, if you are getting away from the busy city vibe, this is the place to be. Jonathan was there to greet us even though we were late.

The Kereru outside the door all night in the apple tree.

All else good, beautiful location. Warm and comfortable suited our family requirements.

Fireplace door gasket broken needs replacement.

Quaint little spot in amongst the forest

Remote, peaceful location within minutes of the beach. The property was clean , owner was responsive when we messaged him and friendly.

Really cozy Appartement, located in a bunch of Houses a few Meters from the collingwood Road. Basically directly in the "Jungle". The apt was really good equipped and Clean.

Heared the people from neighboured flat talking

Super cute area and private feeling. No light pollution for great view of stars. 30 minutes from Farewell Spit and 10 min just past Collingwood.

Loved everything about the place.
