Almost perfect

Comfortable and warm place to stay in. Great views. Easy check in and out with clear instructions. Clean place with enough cooking utensils to make a meal.

Need storage and hangars for clothing, which is practically non existent.

True GEM close to Franz Josef

Everything! The chalets are so well equipped, the furniture, decor, and bathrooms were so beautiful! We got to stay in the sauna and hot tub on our own watching the stars, super peaceful and quiet, friendly and welcoming staff. Highly recommend it, especially for the price point!

Exceptional

The uniqueness and craftsmanship. It’s something a little different which makes this place a little gem. Thanks for the awesome stay and adding to our family holiday memories.

Stairs are steep inside, although we were all ok with these, some people would find them problematic.

The cabin had nice hand made timber internal detailing.

The instructions for the keys were clear and went smoothly. They had turned on the heaters so it was nice and warm. The beds were nice and it was cosy sleeping upstairs in the roof space.

The internal stairs were very steep and a bit dangerous.

Pretty good stay for price but next time I would stay elsewhere

Cool concept and nice porch areas. Very cute dog running around that my kids loved. Good price compared to others in the area. Very warm and even with just heaters it was easy to keep the family warm.

Pretty good stay but there was a massive crack in one of the windows which was not noted when booking and had some tape over it. Big bed was firm and the single beds were uncomfortable and felt unstable. Still a good deal when looking at other properties in the area but the crack in window and some dirty cutlery in the drawer was a bit off putting. The stairs are very dangerous and should be listed before booking - had to make sure kids were very careful up and down them and even easy to hurt yourself on them (even though they look beautiful). Photos online look more secluded but in reality you can see right into other peoples chalet which made it not feel so private.

Had a good time amongst the trees and surrounds with a cute accommodation.

great location, hot tub, quiet, friendliness of staff and good heating

not many cooking utensils, stairs were hard to navigate, bumped head a few times as ceiling quite low in newsroom.

nice quiet private place to hang out between tramping adventures.

property and location. Inside downstairs of cabin very thoughtful and couches really nice. Fine for 2 people, would be crowded with more. deck and chairs, table were great as well as exterior covered table

The beds. twin bed rolled around with the person on it and was very soft. full bed stable but also so soft it might be difficult w 2 people in it. upstairs ceilings very low, non issue for us, just FYI if you are tall. Advertised hot tub unusable as water was exceeding cloudy. As a fellow hot tub owner and maintenance person, there was no way I felt comfortable using the common tub in the condition it was in. To be fair, I did not mention this to the owner as we were there for one night only and that wouldn’t of been enough time to rectify the water quality.

Quaint, secluded accommodation in a beatiful part of the country

Quaint two-level country cottage style in secluded surroundings. Nothing but the sound of birds. Very comfortable.

This is a contactless venue. So there is no host. The stairs to the bedrooms were a feature of the cottage/chalet but steep and narrow for a senior like me.

Very cute little place. The view from the bedroom was amazing and so nice to wake up to, so was the sound of the birds.

We didnt realise there was no microwave or T.V. Our second day we woke up to no power which wasnt their fault but no alternative option was given nor were we given a discount for not being able to access the facilities we paid for. Also i don't mind animals but the dog kept coming over and barking which was a bit of a pain
