Much improved over the hotel on the lake, and surprisingly cheaper. Best place I've stayed so far, in a smaller town, Thames on the Coromandel peninsula.
Always a mountain in the background.
And nature to see along the way.
Needed fruit and snacks, so stopped in the Pak 'N Save. They do not refrigerate the eggs!
View from inside the 'chalet.'
Back window view is up a verdant mountainside.
