Everything was excellent. There is no aspect that we did not like.

Excellent breakfast - every detailed covered. Host provided good company - understood when we needed space, but engaged delightfully when we were all together. Really helpful in making suggestions for activities and making arrangements. Beautiful accommodation. Thank you Nina for a very special birthday weekend.

The property is situated at the top of the hill, very quiet n private. Nina is a great host, she cooked our breakfast n made sure we were well looked after.

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.

There was confusion about the rates given to us on booking.com and the price by the host. This was resolved amicably and the host went with the quoted price and was gracious.

Breakfast was done with tremendous care, amazing food and well displayed. Fruits of all sorts + fresh baked croissant + fresh coffee / tea and we were event offered a choice of our preferred meals (omelet / fried eggs / bacon / sausages) that would be cooked as requested. The room was spacious: king bed + dressing table + seating area + fridge + coffee making facilities + shower place + separated toilet + bath tub. The bed was very comfortable and sheets are very soft. There's a lot of other modern facilities: special lightings, ambience radio, etc. Location was about 10 mins drive from city center. Far enough for a good quiet time and close enough for easy access. View from the room is amazing. Residence dogs: Bella (black) + Rufus (white) were such a joy and treat that greets you.

Nina and Pete are exceptional hosts. Nothing is a problem. They are warm and welcoming. Breakfast is generous and most tastes are catered for. It will definitely set you up for the day ahead. The bathrooms are spotless and well-appointed with lovely-smelling products. The welcome platter and beverages in the room are a nice touch.

There's absolutely nothing we didn't like. As I mentioned, we highly recommend Chalet Eiger, the place is worth every cent spent, and you won't regret it. I repeat, it is THE BEST accommodation in Taupo. So go on, make your booking now...! Thanks Peter and Nina for being the highlight of our entire holiday!

At the end of our December family holiday, we asked our three teenage children what their highlight was, and the general consensus was "Chalet Eiger". Of all things, their highlight was the accommodation? You bet! I booked this place on a whim, thinking maybe for this particular stay at Taupo, I wanted a nicer place than the usual motels. And boy, we have found THE BEST accommodation in Taupo. Ever! Peter was right out there to welcome us when we arrived, and he walked us through the facilities, so we immediately felt at home. Everything at Chalet Eiger yells "luxury" without breaking the bank. The rooms and bathrooms are spacious, the views are spectacular from the rooms, the living room and the dining area are oh so comfortable and big. The beds were very comfortable, temperature was highly adjustable to suit, bathrooms were spacious - we could find no fault with this superb accommodation. There is a large number of books on the bookshelves, an unlimited supply of yummy cookies (I just couldn't stop munching on their cranberry cookies). And Nina provided us with custom-ordered scrumptious breakfasts entailing a choice of cereals, yoghurt, freshly-cut fruits, cooked breakfasts including eggs cooked any way you liked, bacon, tomatoes, mushroom melts, sausages, spinach, salmon, waffles. Great scott, we were well-fed, thanks Nina. She also provided a lot of guidance on places to visit, and things to do, which helped - for example we really enjoyed the L'arté Cafe & Gallery. My wife and I also enjoyed spending time talking to both Peter and Nina to share our life and work experiences - we had such good chats. They were both such friendly and welcoming hosts, it almost felt like we were related, LOL! Oh and let's not forget the two absolutely adorable non-allergenic dogs Rufus and Bella, which we all absolutely loved. We highly recommend Chalet Eiger, the place is worth every cent spent, and you won't regret it.

Not applicable, everything was great :)

Our hosts were absolutely amazing. Their bed and breakfast was absolutely 5 stars and we can’t wait to stay again. Location is great, only 10mins from the centre of town where the majority of local activities are based with plenty of food and drink options. We also had breakfast catered for! The b&b itself is very spacious and comfortable, providing a very intimate setting with no more than a few guests at the one time.

I didn't like that I had not initially booked for more than a two-night stay. We were all very sad on our last morning, looking out at the view from our room. Chalet Eiger's popularity at this time of the year is reflected in all their rooms being booked out already and hence, our family had to bid Chalet Eiger farewell. We have all decided Chalet Eiger is our top favourite accommodation spot on our travels thus far in New Zealand. We have been truly spoilt and YES we have decided we will all be repeat customers.

The location was close enough to get to town and local attractions but far enough away to enjoy peace, quiet and tranquility. We also found out that Chalet Eiger is an hour (one way) to Rotorua so we could have based ourselves at the Chalet and driven into Rotorua then returned to the Chalet. We all loved waking up to the most amazing view from our room and also enjoying the evening on our balcony. You truly felt like you were on a break from your usual busy lifestyle.
