The chalet was incredibly relaxing and comfortable. Richard and Dawn offered plentiful communication and advice and even a basic astonomy tour of the near and above one night when darkness consumed the valley. Brilliantly comfortable bed and a special touch to wake to the skylight view above of the plam tree dancing in the morning breeze surrounded by blue skies!
I had a hire care which felt more akin to a rollercoaster absent of rails on a fair few of the roads around the island more off the beaten track. Yet on a major positive note, the chalet is a mightily useful launching point to find the ferry terminal, very tourist focused Omeroa, gorgeous Onetangi and Palm beaches, Ostend for a cheaper supermarket and several fine takeaways and also the other attractions to the East (nature parks, gorgeous hiking trails, secret quaint little Pearl Bay).
Also supplied were enough breakfast goods to send me out each day brimming to burst!
Highly recommended. Thank you Richard and Dawn!
