If you are visiting Franz Josef and want to stay at a place closest to the nature and literally feel like a herdsman in the Alps, staying at one of Judith's Chalet's at the Kahere Retreat is highly recommended. The hosts are really warm, making sure that our needs are taken care of(despite having a newborn in their family).
The photographs don't do justice to the beauty this place and the location. With a view of the mountains and a gentle sound of the nearby stream, the chalet was so amazingly refreshing and a humbling experience. Each and everyone of these chalet's was hand built by them with such amazing love and care.
Perfect for a family of 4, the chalet had everything that we needed for our stay and much more. As I mentioned earlier, the photographs don't do justice to this place.
Me and my family regretted not staying here for longer. I intend to come back to Kahere Retreat for a longer stay.

Thanks a lot for hosting us.
