The hosts are very welcoming and conscientious, they have thought of everything -bathrobes, plates and cutlery, bottle of wine to buy in the room. Even booked our trips. Also a hot tub and small gym. Don't need a car here 5 mins walk to town. Fab views from balcony. Excellent breakfast and a choice for those with special dietary requirements.... More

From the minute we arrived to the time we reluctantly bid adieu, Inge and her team were fantastic!! Beautifully appointed rooms,(We tried to think of something it lacked - and couldnt), magnificent vistas overlooking the bay,scrumptiously comfortable bed, to die for breakfasts and an extremely knowledgeable fantastic hostess Inge - made our stay truly memorable. Thanx Muchly More

The bed was so comfortable!!!!! Essential for a good nights sleep so you can enjoy the activities the next day. The service was spot on! Inge was so helpful and spoilt us during our stay. The breakfast was yummy! plenty of it and looking out to a great view. The suite had everything and more! we were in the Bellevue... More

We booked the room underneath the building. It costs a lot less. It was clear from the web that Chalet Romantica was a good establishment.

Hi, we had a great stay at Chalet Romantica during December 2011. The room was comfortable, clean and private, and the facilities were great (hot spa especially!). Also, the gourmet breakfast was delicious. Hosts were very friendly and went out of their way to make sure we had a good time. Definitely recommend to friends! Thanks Inge, Nadine and Eddy... More

We had the most wonderful experience in Chalet Romantica. Inge and Edi went out of their way to create a most charming place: It's not just the spacious suite, wonderful breakfast, view and spa, but the personal attention and small touches that made us feel at home abroad. We can recommend Chalet Romantica wholeheartedly. More

Dream location up a hill overlooking Bay of islands with Russell about 4 kms away. We arrived at 14.30 and was told Ed that they were having carpets repaired in our room and we should go and have a coffee in town and come back in an hour. Not the most welcoming after a 4 hour drive; maybe a coofee... More

This beautiful b&b is where my husband proposed to me in February 2010. The room was beautiful, the view stunning and the customer service was wonderful. As a matter of fact, the owners helped him pull of the surprise - and had lit candles and wine on the balcony when we came back from dinner. We are planning a trip... More
