Yukis Chalet was incredible. The views were amazing, but the house was incredible!
Nothing.
Everything was as good as it was promoted. Exceptional comfort, well set up in a beautiful setting. My family were well cared for which pleased me immensely. We really appreciated the later check out time which enabled us to have a relaxing breakfast together - a treat for us. Thank you to our wonderful Host.
Nothing everything was wonderful.
EVERYTHING! The decor is lovely, everything is quality and has been put together with skill and consideration to create a luxurious and tasteful environment which is like staying in a friend’s home rather than rented accommodation. From the moment you arrive and take in the breath taking views from every window and wonderful curated ambiance of every room, relaxation begins. I could write pages & pages on the attention to detail at this property and what is provided for guests from the fragranced candles to the immaculate clean barbecue or gloriously stocked pantry. Your every need has been catered to and the owner is a very prompt communicator for any queries that may arise.
There is not one complaint or recommendation that I can make. A 10 out of 10, perfection.
Everything
Our host was very good. We left items at the house and she organised for us to get them back that day. Very helpful. The house was spacious and comfortable.
Beautiful retreat house, stunning views and walks. Perfect venue for our staff retreat, house felt like home and really well maintained. Views of the mountain everyday just added to the experience. Host was excellent and kept great communication. She was lovely and also very accommodating.
The setting was amazing. Very welcoming and peaceful. Had everything we needed and more!
Upstairs bathroom headlamp wasn't working, but everything else was perfect 👌
The location was amazing , host was friendly and even treated us to chocolate and bubbles . She was very accomodating.
Everything was perfect
What is there not to say about this place. Stunning, comphy and 100% relaxing. Being able to have my whole family under one roof for the 1st time in years, just added to the magic of this place.
That our say was only 1 night.
Exceptional location and the most scenic surrounds.
이곳은 정말 뉴질랜드에서 묵었던 숙소 중 최고로 좋았던 숙소였음. 주변 풍경은 마치 그림같고, 내부 시설은 말할 필요없이 좋았음. 침대가 모두 7개가 있어서 8명이 묵으면서 대부분 1인 1침대를 사용할만큼 방이 많고 깨끗하였으며, 1층 거실은 정말 환상적인 공간이었음. 1층 거실에서 바라보는 뷰는 마치 동화속에 있는 것처럼 좋았으며, 바깥에서 숙소를 바라보는 풍경 또한 매우 좋았음. 다시는 이런 숙소에 묵기 힘들겠다는 생각이 들만큼 지금까지 묵었던 전 세계 모든 숙소 중 가장 좋았음.
가격이 정말 비쌈. 이것은 단지 나의 개인적인 의견일 수 있으나 다른 여러 지역의 숙소들보다는 비싼 것은 사실임. 다만, 숙소에 가보면 충분히 비싼 것이 당연하다고 느낄만큼 숙소의 퀄리티나 뷰는 좋음. 그리고, 숙소를 찾아가기 위해 메인도로에서 대략 한 시간 가량 찾아가야 하고, 반대로 나올 때에도 메인 도로가지 한 시간이 걸려야 할만큼 시골에 위치하고 있다는 것이 단점임. 그럼에도 불구하고 다음에 또 가겠냐고 한다면 다음에는 더 오랫동안 머물고 싶음.
A beautiful comfortable property for us & our 12 other friends to celebrate a milestone birthday. We loved how it was very private, with a lot of space & areas to relax in with stunning views.
Fabulous house well stocked with all essentials, glasses, cutlery, platters etc. The house was very clean and the beds comfy. It fitted our family of 4 generations with comfort.
Beautiful property, lots of room for everyone and sooo nice that we can take our dog
Not enough bathrooms for everyone, would be nice to have some ensuites
What an amazing stay! The house is stunning, with incredible scenery all around. Judie, the owner, is so lovely and welcoming. The facilities are top-notch — from skiing at Mt. Hutt to golf and tennis, everything was just perfect. We truly enjoyed every moment and hope to be back one day!
A beautiful home with amazing views. Comfortable beds!
Rooms were icy cold when we arrive on a rainy evening. Heaters took a while to warm up the rooms.
We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Yuki’s Chalet! The views were simply stunning, offering a breathtaking backdrop that made every moment special. The place itself was incredibly comfortable and well-equipped, with everything you could possibly need and more. From the kitchen appliances to thoughtful little touches, no detail was overlooked. A delightful surprise was the unexpected bottle of bubbles and chocolates waiting for us on arrival—such a lovely gesture that made the stay feel even more special. The host was beyond helpful and genuinely lovely, always available when needed and truly went out of their way to ensure we had the best possible experience. We couldn’t recommend this place highly enough. It’s rare to find accommodation that combines such beautiful surroundings, incredible amenities and a host who truly cares. Can’t wait to return!
Second time back to Yuki's and we love the awsome scenery that surrounds you. On a weekend that cancelled all skiing, the chalet was a great place to hole up, catch up with friends and use as a base for our hiking, exploring and golf. The main bathroom remains simply amazing.
The kitchen is definitely on the small side for a 7-bedroom house and makes it hard for more than one person being in there at any one time. Wind made using the barbeque a bit difficult. The golf course on Terrace Downs has very few golf clubs for hire, which is not a reflection on the chalet but improtant to know if your planning golf
Beautiful location very tranquil away from the hustle and bustle. Only 25min to hot pools in Methven.
No ensuites so difficult with a group of adults sharing two bathrooms. Kitchen has almost everything just no blender or egg beater that I could find but perhaps it was hiding
The location was amazing! The view of the mountains was spectacular - felt like you were a million miles away from anywhere. Kids loved all the outside space to run around and explore. Plenty of space for everyone. The kids loved it so much they decided they wanted to live there permanently!
There wasn't really anything we didn't like.
A beautiful home in a lovely location. We had a large group and there was plenty of space for us all. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to cook for a large group. Comfy beds.
This wasn't an issue for us but it may deter others. Only one shower room upstairs for the 5 bedrooms. Shower had no vanity so we all had to use the small washbasin in the separate toilet. The Japanese style bathroom downstairs was magnificent but a bit surplus to requirements for our group!
