EXCELLENTVerified Exceptional ☺ Loved our stay with Benger Garden Chalets. The Chalets were clean and we had everything we needed. The breakfast in the morning was a real bonus! Staff were very lovely and accomodating! ☹ Unfortunately wifi wasn’t working when we were there so we couldn’t watch a movie as planned. The staff did attempt to try and resolve this but it was out of their control. Thoroughly appreciate their efforts.Posted onVerified Very GoodPosted onVerified Exceptional ☺ Everything was great, very comfortable. John & Lee were wonderful friendly hosts & the cafe staff were lovely. The evening meals & breakfasts were delicious. ☹ NothingPosted onVerified ExceptionalPosted onVerified A perfect place for a quiet getaway in Central Otago at an exceptional price! ☺ Chalet was perfect for our long weekend away, very modern and private, facilities were exceptional and the owners were very friendly and helpful. Included breakfasts were amazing! This is a gem that you don't expect from a little country town, and we loved it...we will definitely be back. Highly recommended.Posted onVerified Wonderful ☺ Cute and cosy. Warm Great breakfast . Friendly staff at the café. Had a good chat with JohnPosted onVerified Exceptional ☺ Auf der Durchreise habe ich kurzfristig für eine Nacht eine Unterkunft gesucht. Schöne Cottages in einem wundervollen Tal. Mit allem ausgestattet, Terrasse und genügend Privatsphäre. Sehr zu empfehlen. Das Café schliesst um 5pm. Die sehr nette Dame hat mir aber angeboten, ein Gericht ab Karte um 6pm im Cottage vorbeizubringen. Ich war sehr dankbar und fand dies toll.Posted onVerified Exceptional ☺ It was very reasonable and a unique comfy place to stay. The breakfast was amazing. You could select from the menu at the cafe that is right near the chalets. Included a drink and something to eat. ☹ Just be careful on the ramp leading up to the chalet, we were there a night it frosted and it was quite slippery.Posted onVerified An amazing place to spend a night away. The Challet was everything we needed and more!! ☺ The Challet was so lovely, much more modern than we expected. The bed linen was beautiful and the personal touches were very much appreciated. We felt very spoilt getting breakfast included and were delighted to be able to choose a hot option and espresso coffee! Amazing!! ☹ The grounds were a little tired and under maintenence but to be expected nearing the end of winter.Posted onVerified Perfect weekend getaway ☺ Clean, tidy and warm. Beautiful views and private. Friendly staff and excellent meals
