I was recently in New Zealand for a short holiday and was luck enough to find Chalet Eiger in Taupo. Having travelled throughout New Zealand on many occasions and stayed at the top lodges, Chalet Eiger I believe is far superior to most of the 5 Star lodges. It is set in Acacia Bay , a beautiful part of Taupo... More

We really enjoyed our 2 night stay at Chalet Eiger. We were firstly greeted with a fantastic fruit tart created by Hea Min. The taste was so delicious, reflecting Hea Min's obvious superb cooking, we rather wished we had arranged to eat at the chalet in the evening instead of in Taupo itself as the restaurant we picked in the...

Lake Taupo is beautiful, but Taupo accommodations can be a bit "touristy" -- Chalet Eiger is the ideal solution. Outside of the bustle of Taupo, in the decidedly more refined Acacia Bay, Emil and Hea Min have created a marvel of hospitality . . . impeccably clean rooms, charming hosts, an inspired Christmas dinner that featured fine food and a...

My wife and I stayed at Chalet Eiger for three nights including Christmas day; there is only one word that describes the whole experience ''FANTASTIC''. The quality of the rooms and facilities is on par with any London 5 star hotel but peaceful!! Our hosts Emil and Hea Min were so welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The food... More

The rooms had an amazing view of the lake and were immaculate. We were sad to leave as we enjoyed their company and passion to make... More

Being well out of town it is very quiet, and the peaceful surrounds and excellent bedding meant we had the best sleeps of our holiday. The... More

My wife and I stayed at Chalet Eiger for two nights during our honeymoon in New Zealand, and we are so glad that we did. The accommodation itself is very impressive, with luxurious bathrooms, integrated stereo systems in the rooms, a large relaxing lounge and impressive dining area. But the real highlights were (i) the amazing hospitality of Emil and... More

This was our second visit to Chalet Eiger, and we returned to Taupo specifically to stay there again. Emil and Hea Min offer gracious, warm hospitality with very comfortable rooms and facilities. Most of all, Hea Min is a cook (chef?) who could easily hold her head high amongst 5-star celebrity chefs if she wanted to - supported by Emil... More
