The Chalet at Washpen Falls is a cool little place, with the walk on your back door step, hills behind and the Canterbury Plains stretching out in front. Bear in mind that whilst you're in the middle of farmland this is not an isolated spot - the day we stayed there were lots of people coming and going for the walk. The walk itself is a gem, with plenty of variety and surprises along the way.
I stayed at The Chalet with just my partner, making it quite an expensive getaway. It feels like a typical dated bach, made special with nice linens, a well equipped kitchen, a large spa and a ready-to-go fire. For the price, I think it's better suited for a family or group of friends.
