Despite an unprepossessing exterior, the unit was wood panelled inside, and was cosy. The living area was large and it was quiet, being located away from the main road. The stairs to the bedrooms were a bit narrow and creaky, but we had a comfortable sleep. Enjoyed our stay.

Great clean little cottage, everything you might need for cooking is provided. 6 sleeping places are upstairs in the loft. Grocery store is a short drive away, national park is 10-15 min away. TV didn’t have a signal, but we didn’t care about it.

Sadly, I didn’t meet John, whom I always spoke with on the phone, but it was great meeting the beautiful lady Susie.
Love the place so cosy, quiet and peaceful but I don’t recommend it for a couple who have young children or toilet-trained children.
My partner and I have to wake up four times in the morning to take turns taking our kids to the restroom.

But I still love the place

We had a brilliant stay here! Lovely owners and gave us a great welcome which we appreciate after a long day cycling. Fantastic kitchen with everything that we could wish for to cook ourselves a meal . Spacious cabin and very clean and we were able to bring our bikes inside which is very important to us. So quiet and peaceful! Highly recommend!

Pleasant stay in chalet

Property was well presented, room was clean and we liked that we could take our dog. The room was not cleaned daily unless by us, which we liked. The owner was very friendly and accommodating, however the computer system ended up overcharging us. To her credit, she had already offered us a discount to stay an additional night (we ended up leaving early due to mountain closure so never had the extra night). The main bed was rather small however the room wouldn't have had room for a larger bed.

I liked the size of the living room . I was really disappointed by the furniture, really old, dirty uncomfortable at all, nearly no sponge inside the 2 old sofas chairs and mattresses , we didn’t have a comfortable sleep. The bedrooms are so dark at night , I had to pull out the mattresses and put them downstairs in the living room so my kids can feel safe and sleep. The kitchen is so old and I tried so many times to open the drawers but they were totally stuck, so I had to use my own disposable cutleries that I brought with me!
The house needs a full renovation in my opinion, we paid more than $200 per night unfortunately we didn’t expect to see such a poor level of accommodation.

Great option for families

Great option for families - lots of beds at a cheap price, and best of all there’s a free washing machine on site (not in the unit, but it was always available when I went past). Beds are comfortable. The shower door is so spotless I kept hitting it because I thought it was open! The kitchen has oven, stove top and microwave so it’s easy to cook all types of meals. (There’s also a BBQ on site.) After hours check in was easy and the managers were helpful and friendly.

The only thing I didn’t like is the creakiness of the staircase and upstairs floor - you can hear the creaks of the neighbouring unit through the wall, so the stand alone chalets would be quieter than the joined ones. There’s not much landscaping so it’s not beautiful on the outside but it has everything you need inside.

Fit for pupose

Good value for money. I can see why this place would be sought after in winter / ski season. We stayed for one night on the way through from Wellington to Tauranga and it suited our family of 3 adults and two children just fine. everything we needed. As per some other reviews the stairs are a bit creaky and slightly too steep for a 2 - 3 year old but not a big deal.
