Best place ever! Will definitely come back! Absolutely gorgeous views and a perfect little house. Super clean, has everything you would need to cook for yourself & small family. Easy access to dining & not far from Abel Tasman Natl park. Worth every cent for a stay.. highly recommend!
Serena, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved it, the owners even turned on beautiful weather for us! It was heavenly sitting outside in the sunshine with a wine, smelling the perfume from the flowers and admiring the view. So cleverly designed for privacy. Appreciated the little touches such as the binoculars and cushions. My partner would like to give special mention to the shower layout, you can turn the shower on without getting wet!!!

Unbelievable view, fantastic apartment, awesome

Fantastic apartment, everything you could ask for. Unbelievable views through the huge picture window in the living room. Fantastic bedroom with even more views and the bathroom was very roomy and well set out. We loved our stay and would highly recommend to anyone.
Rhonda, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

nice view but not walkable to anywhere. There are very few dining options close by. The fish shop had very little fresh fish because of the time of year we assume.

Amazing location and hosts but needing an upgrade

The Wheelhouse Inn has an amazing location and amazing views towards the sea. There are a lot of thoughtful touches and the apartment is well-equipped. The love and care of the owners can be seen in everything. Also had a few chats with Ralph who is absolutely charming and willing to help in anyway. The cons: It's as well maintained and clean as an older apartment can but still it smells old, it looks old, it feels old. Also the beds were very worn, soggy and wobbly. Also missing a dishwasher which meant that to be on the safe side you needed to wash everything before using it (previously guests wash in a hurry on a check out day). It was nice but not luxury as it's branded and for the price it would need a complete upgrade. Don't get me wrong, it is a nice and extremely well-run and well-maintained place with lovely hosts! Just a bit disappointed with the high expectations from the raving reviews and highish price.

Providing binoculars was a nice surprise. Loved the view of the water and watching the ships leaving in the morning. You can also see the planes coming and going. Great seating indoors and outside.
