This chalet was the highlight of our stay in Waitomo, it made a long day of driving worthwhile! There is nothing like it in the local area, it is so trendy and comfortable. Loved the small homely touches like candles, tea, rugs and magazines. A very comfy bed and awesome bright red bathroom! You are right in the cafe car park/on the main highway but as you sleep upstairs there wasn't much of a noise issue, just make sure you shut the curtains around the downstairs area to ensure privacy in the mornings, this is definitely a private, cosy retreat with style which beats any other accom in the waitomo area! Highly recommend!
