Authentic log chalet serene and secluded with outdoor spa
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (23)
"We and our friends greatly enjoyed staying in this comfortable, well-equipped chalet with lovely alpine bush views in an area we had never been to before. Beds were comfortable and the woodburner kept us warm. Enjoyed birds serenading us by day and star-watching while soaking in spa at night. Loved exploring the alpine environment."

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay surrounded by blooming manuka and blissful quiet. The cabin was ideal. Two cautions: nearby hikes are on private property and incur hefty fees for each visit, and extra fees for linen are charged per person and seemed on the high side."
