The Chalet is situated in a secluded bush garden and has panoramic views of the sea and farmland. It is five minutes drive from the surf beach, estuary, golf course and tennis courts. Cafes, restaurants, local shops, and an art gallery are 10 minutes walk away. On Saturday mornings there is an organic market nearby with locally grown produce and crafts. Your hosts, Kay and Ernest Hurley, look forward to welcoming you to their special corner of paradise. Garden tours with Kay are available by appointment.

The Chalet offers luxurious accommodation and privacy. It is best suited to a couple but the lounge can convert to a bed for additional guests. Facilities include a kitchen with convection cooktop and microwave, and the adjacent lounge has a television, DVD and stereo. Complimentary drinks, fruit and provisions for a Continental breakfast are all supplied. The Chalet has its own garage and laundry facilities. The outdoor deck is a wonderful place to unwind and contemplate the landscape. Feel free to take a stroll through our extensive bush garden or if you are feeling more energetic explore the country lanes, view the art gallery and finish off with a visit to Bennett's Choclatier and Cafe. Fishing trips are available by arrangement with Ernest.

Your hosts are pleased to offer their chalet to guests who enjoy comfort, peace and the chance to unwind in the beautiful natural environment of Mangawhai.
