This lovely chalet was our first stay on my husband and I's two week honeymoon adventure in New Zealand from the US. We only stayed one night and wish we could've stayed longer! The location is fascinating, as it's not that far from the hustle and bustle of the city of Auckland, but it feels so secluded and untouched! We were warmly greeted and shown around the place, and even given a lesson on the natural areas of New Zealand! Such a peaceful and relaxing place :) It also wasn't very far from a little town ( I can't remember it's name ) that had a market and a few quaint cafes with wonderful breakfast and coffee, which was nice to take advantage of as well!
