Wonderful private cabins, with a bedroom, sitting area & kitchen.. Close proximity to the Hamner Thermal Springs & town. Outdoor setting that we enjoyed just before sunset. The kitchen is well equipped to make a meal if you so desire. The staff is friendly & helpful. The accommodation is spotless & comfortable. Highly recommended staying here!
Our stay was great. Had everything we neede including an extra bed that was provided. Clean, warm and comfy and quiet. Close proximity to the village was convenient. Will be back same time next year.

Good position, clean and tidy, friendly and helpful staff.
A really lovely place to stay. We stayed in the one bedroom unit. It was spacious and we could have easily stayed for a week. Would recommend. It was a nice distance from town for a walk down for dinner.
Andrew was an excellent host and very considerate of our privacy and enjoyment of our stay. We had one small issue which he resolved immediately. Our chalet was well-equipped and comfortable. We highly recommend The Chalets Motel
