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!

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.

Indulgent and relaxing night away

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.

Best place we stayed during our honeymoon.

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.
