Our family of four had a great one night stay in a chalet. While the living area was cosy, it had everything we needed. It's located in a great spot not far from the caves and close to an excellent restaurant.

Late check in arrival went very smoothly. Beds were comfortable and getting in and out of property was no issue. Conveniently located to access the Glowworm caves which was nice. Wish breakfast was available earlier but not a terrible problem. Overall very happy with our stay.
