“Great chalet”

Reviewed May 22, 2013 NEW

We had stayed a night in the "Tui" chalet. It is spacious and comfortable in a pretty setting amongst some very interesting rock formations. The owners Pat and Chris were very friendly and helpful. We loved the rustic outdoor furniture decorating the grounds.

“Beautiful setting and private”

Reviewed January 28, 2013 via mobile

We were there for 2 nights in January. Chris and Pat are great hosts. Chris has a wicked sense of humor. They have laid out the chalets to give a very private feel. The grounds are beautiful with natural limestone outcroppings. We stayed in Tui 702 and it had a nice view of a pasture as well as a park... More

At last some one gets my humor. Thanks More
