Chalet Eiger

Very private and isolated from town and main roads. Peace and quiet.

Small TV didnt match the massive room.

Sehr schön gelegenes Anwesen mit großem Zimmer und allem was das Herz begehrt. Großes Wohnzimmer zur gemeinsamen Nutzung mit Kamin und toller Aussicht. Herzliche Gastfreundschaft mit sehr gutem Frühstück. Vielen Dank

The Chalet is very beautiful, located in a quiet area just outside Taupo with a great view over the lake. Nina is a wonderful host and gave us a lot of great recommendations and we felt like we were staying with a relative ( also Scandinavian connection :) ) The room was big and very comfortable and we had fantastic home made breakfast. This was absolutely the best place we staid in on our 3 weeks trip to NZ.

Amazing breakfast. Fantastic host, always happy to help with anything. Goes above and beyond. Nice and quiet and comfortable.

Phantastisches Frühstück, sehr großes Zimmer mit Balkon und Blick Richtung See. Habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt.

Nina is a charming and caring host who gave us great tips on things to do and places to eat. The property is wonderful, the rooms spacious, comfortable and cozy and the breakfast was delicious!! We should have stayed longer!!!

Not a thing

الف شكر لنينا خدماتها واهتمامها لايوصف

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.

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

Had a very enjoyable night at Chalet Eiger and Nina was a wonderful hostess. The evening meal and breakfast along with the glasses of wine were delicious and it was nice to share some stories with her. A very accommodating hostess.

Lovely host who helped with planning, recommendations, and made lovely breakfast! Beautiful location, comfortable + quiet accommodations. Bathrooms were beautiful. Would highly recommend!

Lovely room, awesome breakfast! Nina was great at making you feel welcome and had great suggestions for activities in and out of town. I would stay here again any time!

Excellent service, accommodations , host and experience. Recommend!

Great Breakfast!

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.

The property was amazing. Immaculately clean, very welcoming & a dream place to stay.

Fantastic property. Nina is an exceptional host. Beautiful room and superb breakfast.

Nina our host was particularly helpful and accommodating. And we needed a late checkout, which she was happy to provide. The breakfast was outstanding, as was the accommodation.

BreakfSt was excellent. Food and presentation was very beautiful. Absolutely excellent everything. Hospitality was the best service. Welcome us as if we were family.

There is nothing. They exceeded everything.

Nina and Peter's little Chalet was delightful. Bella and Rufus were the perfect cuddle buddies in the morning while Nina prepared breakfast. Would highly recommend a stay here. Easy access to Taupo area but out of the way and quiet!

Nina and Peter are fabulous: they felt more like friends than hosts, and ensured that we had a flawless stay.

Leaving.

What a fabulous property ! Nina and Peter are gracious hosts and they do everything to ensure you have a great stay! Their lovely puppies and handsome cat, Floyd are a bonus!

It was excellent…

A lovely welcome from a Peter and Nina, super hosts. A delicious home cooked meal (Nina’s chocolate tart is heavenly) and scrumptious breakfast. Our hosts have excellent local knowledge and our day adventure was a highlight.

Privacy. We were adjacent to owner’s’ accommodation.

Great upmarket Chalet - BnB

We wish to thank Peter and Nina for having provided us with a very hospitable stay at Chalet Eiger Lodge! The property is well managed and meticulously decorated for Christmas. The view of the garden and part of Lake Taupo from the sitting room and our room is stunning. The breakfast prepared by Nina was sumptuous and delicious! We had a great time staying there!

Peaceful surroundings and excellent facilities

Nothing!

The relaxing view and hospitality

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.

Absolutely superb property; excellent hosts; great breakfast. Nothing could be faulted.

Nothing - don't change anything!

Breakfast top class. Accommodations very comfortable

No dislikes

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.

Nothing

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.

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.

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!

Welcoming hosts - lovely private and quiet location

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.

Not applicable, everything was great :)

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.

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 breakfast was the best part of our stay at Chalet Eiger. Nina cooked to order beautiful English breakfasts and provided fruit platters, cereal and yogurts of gourmet standard. The location was leafy and quiet with pretty views of Lake Taupo, too far to walk to town for restaurants but the Chalet offers free shuttle in.

Our only disappointment was that we didn't know to expect the dogs would be sharing the common areas, including on the furniture which was a little tired and dirty feeling. Two of our party had pet allergies so this posed a genuine problem for them. We also felt the property should be more properly described as a Bed and Breakfast.

lovely hosts, very comfortable accommodation, beautiful setting, great breakfast

Excellent breakfast. Nina cooked 3 course meal in evening - highly recommend.

Quite secluded and comfortable.

Coffee could have been better. But that’s not a biggie.

Nothing.

Breakfastexcellent

Great stay highly recommended

Its was very peaceful and relaxing with friendly hosts.

This was such a beautiful place to stay, Peter and Nina were beyond amazing hosts to all of us that stayed there. We also loved our room so too. We'll definitely coming back here next time we're in Taupo.

Peaceful and secluded - highly recommend if you are looking for a quiet location!

Wow - this place was a great find! The location was quiet and secluded. The room was well furnished (seemed like it had recently been renovated with good finishes and care). The fridge was stocked with complimentary food and wine. The hosts were extremely welcoming and friendly - you feel as if you are visiting family. A really lovely place to stay!

This is a very upscale B&B. Our guest and private bathrooms were large and beautifully appointed. The view from the balcony was great. The chalet was a peaceful haven from all the activities going on in Taupo the weekend we were there. The hosts were very gracious and breakfast was superb. The only downside was the distance from the nearest restaurant.

The property is in a beautiful location overlooking the lake and distant mountains. The accommodation was of the highest quality with a relaxing and spacious upstairs lounge with spectacular views. The owners were very welcoming and very helpful in advising choices of activities in the area. We dined in one evening and we were presented with a fine 3 course meal with wine. We would recommend that option. Breakfasts were exceptional too. An exceptional place to stay at Lake Taupo.

Nina and Peter provided a memorable experience for us during the Christmas holiday. Nina’s breakfasts were amazing with plentiful options! They really made us feel at home and tried to attend to anything we could possibly desire. The location near the center of Taupo is perfect with a beautiful view of the mountains.

Nothing but good things to say about this B&B. Room was very nice and comfortable. Also a gorgeous living room where you could sit and relax. We had a wonderful breakfast before we left. Hosts were very helpful and gave us good recommendations what to see from there. We really felt welcome and this is absolutely the place to stay.

It was a pleasure to stay at this accommodation. It's private and intimate, with the hosts being attentive while also ensuring your space. Very friendly environment and lovely to be able to interact with the dogs on site (hosts don't assume and are mindful of this upfront). The breakfast was lovely and we enjoying chatting to the hosts at this time. It was a very relaxing stay and we'd definitely love to return to stay again.

Hosts were awesome. My wife and I were on our honeymoon and spent three weeks in New Zealand, traveling from the North island to the South Island. Out of all our places, this was our favorite stay. Wish we could have stayed longer and will like to stay again. It was a huge space and they cooked us a tremendous breakfast and gave us great ideas on where to go hiking.

Great property grestHosts. Massive and delicious breakfast. Suprrcoctail hour

Hosts were very friendly and accommodating to our needs with great food and facilities. Great recommendations for local experiences. Highly recommend if you are looking for a hassle free friendly and memorable experience while staying in Taupo.

I travel a lot! And the return for what you are paying is amazing! Peter and Nina do an amazing Job. From the beginning they made me feel home and regret, that we only stayed for one night! It was by the way the best Hotel on out vacation while in Australia and NZ! And i stayed at Sofitel usually
