If you are in need of a long weekend or week-long getaway, Margaret River is a fantastic destination with all it has to offer by way of Arts, Wines, Food, Beaches and Nature, and the people there are second to none. Calistoga Chalet is the perfect base for any trip to South Western WA and Alistair and Mindy are the ideal hosts. Their property is immaculate and spacious, and you can basque in the amazing morning light of the amazing deck or enjoy the cooking evening breeze over an amazing glass of local red or white while the BBQ sizzles in the background. Calistoga Chalet is, at most, 25 minutes drive from any of the local sights you’d want to visit and Al and Mindy provide you with every piece of information and contacts to get the most out of your trip to Margaret River.
On cooler evenings the massive living room is just as luxurious a place to recount the day and enjoy a family meal, which is easily prepared in their fully equipped and modern kitchen. Even though we barely used it, as we BBQ’d every night, there was everything that we would have needed to prepare a full-blown feast of all the locally sourced meats, fish, fruits and veg that is readily available just a short walk into town.
Everything from check-in to departure and frequent contact as required in between was taken care of so that we felt we were arriving home and staying with family members.
We cannot recommend Calistoga Chalet, Alistair and Mindy enough, and will most certainly be back in the very near future.
