Le Chalet Waiheke Apartments
We had such a relaxing stay at Le Chalet. The room was so thoughtfully and tidily presented and it was such a luxury having access to the pool and jacuzzi. Easily accessible by buses which are frequent in the morning and afternoon with good shops nearby. Thank you to the hosts.
