The Hawkridge Chalet was absolutely stunning, and Michelle was a wonderful host. The location was gorgeous, and Michelle thought of every possible touch to delight her guests. Coffee, tea, chocolate, marshmallows, heart shaped cookies, heart shaped bread, a little jar of cashews, granola & cereal, jam, olive spread, yogurt, milk, and bottled peaches were provided as treats, and it’s my understanding that she provides a gift basket of goodies for guests staying two nights or longer (which regrettably we were not able to do). Bath robes and sandals were provided for a trip to the hot tub, and there were all kinds of micro-decorations inside and throughout the outdoor spaces… you’ll have to discover them for yourself. (Look for the stone ladybugs.) Also notable was the utter silence… no human noises at all. The chalet is close enough to Queenstown to duck in for entertainment, but far enough away to be totally immersed in nature. Thank you Michelle for a wonderful (albeit too short) stay!
