The Chalet is a very comfortable space, a home away from home. Walkable to Matakana but set off the road so it doesn't feel busy. The kitchen is well stocked & breakfast of fruit, yoghurt and muesli was a lovely touch. Beds, sheets & towels are all excl. There are doors out to a shaded patio where we relaxed over coffee in the morning & wine in the evenings. The cooking facilities are out on the patio with a selection of bench top cooking appliances. Added bonus of washing machine. Cute nightly visits from the neighbourhood cat too. Disappointingly though, this was a stay of two parts - the comfort of the accommodation is faultless, however the cleanliness, especially in the bathroom was not to an acceptable standard. It appeared as if there had only been a quick wipe over after the previous guests had left. Other reveiws haven't mentioned before so perhaps it was our bad luck that there hadn't been a better clean before our arrival. A deep clean & the Chalet is a 5* stay.
