The fantail chalet was a beautiful escape from the city. Surrounded by trees and quiet except for the sound of birdsong, it is a little piece of paradise.
The chalet is not too far however from towns such as Whangaparāoa and Orewa, making restaurants, cafes, supermarkets, shops, the beach and walking trails a reasonable distance away.
Heidi was lovely and helpful when she greeted my partner and I on arrival. The bush trails around the property are sweet and if it were nicer weather, the lower lawn area would have made for a good picnic spot. Inside was a kitchenette with a small fridge and a kettle. The little fire heater was a nice touch and welcomed in this cold weather. We both liked the shower looking out to the trees outside.
The continental breakfast being catered to our dietary preferences was much appreciated! It was special to have breakfast in bed looking out at the trees and watching the birds.
Thank you kindly Heidi and Shane for our lovely stay!
