Our Chalets

Our Chalets are named after native trees; Matai, Rimu, Totara, Rata and Kauri. Each of our chalets sleeps up to 4 guests and is fully self-contained with its own bathroom, kitchen and living area downstairs and 2 bedrooms upstairs. The front deck of each chalet is the perfect place to sit back and enjoy garden-mountain-sunset views, while the heated, rainproof deck at the rear offers a cosy space to eat outdoors when the weather is chilly.
