Breakfast was fantastic. Beautiful big, warm room with an amazing view. We had a fabulous stay at Chalet Eiger.
AustraliaMy partner and I were very impressed with every part of our stay; the room was clean and smelt so good when we walked in. There was complimentary wine, beer and cheese/crackers/grapes in the fridge. Gorgeous views from the living space which we sat admiring for hours from the balcony. Fresh baked cookies to help ourselves to, and the breakfast was the best we have ever had (fresh fruit platter, home made granola [I took the recipe!] with compote and yoghurt, fresh coffee and choice of fruit juices, croissants, and then a full cooked breakfast - eggs, bacon, salmon, tomato, mushrooms... what ever we wanted, and it was all cooked perfectly. I cannot wait for my next trip to Taupo so I can stay again. Thank you.
New ZealandThis was a very spacious enclosed room with a small kitchenette and lovely bathroom and double doors to the lovely garden. Hosts were very friendly and accommodating. Would consider staying longer next time but it was a last minute stop to rest up for our trip home. Very relaxing and enjoyed the pets.
