Chalet Eiger

Our room was very spacious with a view of the lovely garden. Nina goes the extra mile to ensure guests have a first rate experience. She sat down with us after breakfast to give us ideas of where to go and what to do, activities and places to eat, etc. Breakfast was superb with lots of choice and everything was very well presented and delicious. Nothing seemed too much trouble. In all we had the perfect couple of days and should we ever return to New Zealand we would definitely return.

Fabulous luxury home from home stay. Super comfy accommodation. Beautiful setting and views. Wonderful host and THE most delicious breakfast. Great tips on where to visit and dine. Will visit again. Highly recommended.

Wonderful stay with Nina as our gracious and helpful host. Breakfasts were delightful with every detail attended to. Grand accommodation, with quiet comfortable room and beautiful surroundings. Nina gave us space when we needed it and good company when we asked for it. Nina also made helpful suggestions for activities and arrangements for meals which we appreciated. Thank you for a memorable stay for a special birthday weekend Nina.

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.

The Chalet is located a little way out of Taupo in a pleasant suburb. The upstairs rooms all have views over greenery to the lake and mountains. The rooms are large, beds comfortable and the ambience is bright and modern. Everywhere is clean and well maintained. Nina will cook an evening meal on request and there is plentiful local wine. Breakfast is generous. If you want an overnight stop in this area, of a base to explore for a couple of days, this is ideal.

The Tripadviser reviews we read before booking were not wrong! What a lovely place to stay at Lake Taupo. Beautiful setting with some amazing views from the lounge and deck. Nina (and the dogs and cat!) were very welcoming and provided us with lots of information of what to do/where to go etc. The room was very comfortable and had its own balcony; great to sit on there in the early morning with a coffee as the sun rose. The breakfast was excellent! Just a couple of points to note: Chalet Eiger is abut a 5-10 minute drive to town. If you want dinner in the evening, I think you would need to check with Nina in advance. There are, of course, lots of places in Taupo and also I think there is a deliveroo service. All in all, one of our favourite spots from our holiday in New Zealand. Would love to come back one day. If you come here you will not be disappointed!

Excellent service, accommodations , host and experience. Recommend!

Me and my husband had the pleasure staying at Chalet Eiger over Christmas for two nights and what an incredible stay we had. Both Nina and Peter are the most hospitable hosts and and made our stay very special. Breakfast and Christmas Day dinner was amazing, it was lovely to have a home cooked meal and Nina is a wonderful cook! I couldn’t recommend staying at Chalet Eiger enough. It’s a beautiful place to stay and experience the wonders Taupo. Thank you again both Nina and Peter, we’ll never forget our time with you for Christmas and how lovely it was. Laura & Joe x
