Looking for a cabin?

For the active travellers, a chalet is a great mix of the outdoors and the snug inside. Usually fully furnished and self-catered, chalets are typically wooden and in the Alpine region of Europe, but can also be found elsewhere in the world. Characterised by their sloped roofs, chalets can be single units or separate apartments, and are ideal for skiing holidays.

    This was a extremely pleasant surprise after a very exhausting 4 week driving tour around New Zealand . Super easy to find and a huge drop off area in front of the main entrance . The staff were absolutely awesome and the free under cover parking right next to the hotel was bonus . Bed was without doubt the most comfortable we had on the entire tour and a superb view of the city and harbour . Should be rated as a 5 star not 4 star as it was , It was that good .

    The place is tastfully designed and looks classy. Facilities available is amazing - there was a laptop available which allowed me to clear some urgent work, a luxurious spa bathtub, clean microwave, TV with cable and in-room laundry & dryer machine. Real comfortable and highly recommended. Hotel manager was very friendly and helpful as well. Beds also looked clean and inviting. There was also an elevator for our luggages.

    It takes around 10 minutes to drive from the Octagon to the Lodge. The garden around the Lodge is very large. You can find quite a number of chickens, ducks and three alpacas kept next to the entrance. The Lodge looks luxurious and is well-organized. The room with ensuite is clean and tidy. Tenants could relax in the dining room.

    It's a beautiful property. Equivalent to some of the best 5 star hotels. The room was immaculate, equipped with top of the range ... everything! The attention to detail in keeping this place in such superb order is clear. The bed was .. of course ..incredibly comfortable. It's well located for access to all shops and restaurants. One of the very best places we have stayed in 2 months travelling around Australia and New Zealand.
