EXCELLENT Based on 143 reviews Anonymous2025-04-238.0Verified Very Good ☺ The chalet was warm and the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast at the cafe was great. ☹ The traffic noise but I appreciate that this can't be helped. Vicki2025-04-2010Verified This was a little touch of luxury, in the middle of cycling the Clutha Gold Trail. Absolute Bliss! ☺ Our hosts stored our bikes at Miller's Flat and drove us to and from Benger Garden Chalets at Ettrick. The Chalet was beautiful with luxurious fittings and everything we needed. We ordered an evening meal when we arrived, and this was delivered to our chalet at 6pm. Delicious ! The bed was very comfortable and warm, and the next morning we went across to the Cafe where we had the Benger cooked breakfast. Superb! ☹ There was nothing we didn't like.

Stuart2025-03-069.0Verified A nice peaceful afternoon and night and a relaxing soak in the outdoor bath was very welcome after . ☺ The location was very convenient for us travelling from Queenstown to Dunedin. The breakfast was delicious and a huge portion and several choices. The staff and owners were very friendly and helpful. The gardens were beautiful.

Our breakfast was available in the cafe adjacent to the chalet and our choice of eggs benedict was generous and delicious. We enjoyed meeting our host and hearing about the development of the this very comfortable, attractive accommodation.

09/08/2023What a wonderful place to stumble upon - We just stumbled upon this lovely place when we needed to stop for a coffee on our way North to Dunedin. What a lovely place. We didn't get to sit... read more outside in the cute outdoor area as we were there early in the morning, but it looked lovely with grape vines full of baby grapes hanging over the tables in the covered area. The coffee was lovely and just what the doctor ordered. We had two banana and chocolate chip muffins which were still warm from the oven. Delicious 😋

03/11/2024Stayed in Benger Garden Chalet and ate in Cafe - We were cycling the Clutha Gold Trail. Lee (our host) came and picked us and our bikes up from Millers Flat and took us back the next morning to continue... read more cycling. The Chalet was well appointed and very comfortable. Even though the cafe was closed at night Lee organized a delicious meal which he delivered to our chalet. Breakfast was great too and part of the tariff! Highly recommend Benger Garden Cafe and Chalet - and especially highlight the wonderful care, attention and service from Lee the owner.

30/06/2022All round experience - We stayed here for two nights and ended up booking a third as the Chalet was perfectly located for our bike riding. Staff were friendly and welcoming and the cooked... read more breakfast was so good we had exactly the same thing three days in a row. We also had a fantastic burger delivered to our door on our last night. With a cold beer and a glass of wine it was a great end to our stay. The bed (and in particular the bedding) made for an excellent nights sleep. Would highly recommend.
