This was the last accommodation during our New Zealand trip and we have kept the best for last. What a beautiful chalet! The owners have clearly love and respect for their property. It is well-maintained and very clean. It offers all the comfort and luxury you need. It's beautifully styled. I love how the chalet is oriented on couples and not large families. It radiates romantic and peaceful vibes. The surroundings (mountains, fields) are amazing and the animals are soooo cute. I loved to watch the alpacas from my bed. I wish New Zealand was closer to home so I could visit again. Thank you for hosting us, we loved it so much! I highly, highly recommend staying here. And please: take care of this chalet like it is your own home.

I recently stayed here and had a fantastic experience. The highlight was undoubtedly the stunning mountain view, especially in the mornings, we had fantastic time here. The kitchen was fully equipped with all the necessary facilities, making it easy to prepare food. The room was big and exceptionally clean and comfortable, providing a pleasant stay. I will definitely return for another visit.

Friendly cheerful staff. Easy check-in. We got a two bedroom unit upstairs. Love the room space and tvs in each room plus the lounge (however, we couldn't get the master room tv to work). Loved that it had a full kitchen. Loved the views. Loved the shower. Comfortable beds.
