SylvieFrance · 22 Dec 2024 10Exceptional
Just excellent
Liked : Nina did everything possible to make our stay very pleasant. Breakfast was perfect, as well as the dinner when we had it at the Chalet. The wine is very good also. For our Tongariro treck, Nina prepared everything to take away and eat. We felt like home, discussing any kind of subject with Nina. As a coincidence, there is even a Cartier-Bresson black & white picture of our countryside in Seine-et-Marne (France) in Nina's living room.
If we go back to NZ, we will have a stop at the Chalet Eiger. -
