Royale on Cheese

Welcome to a luxurious double-decker chalet in the heart of NZ's cutest village. With room for the whole family, you have views of the majestic Craigieburn & Torlesse Mountain Ranges and the giants' molars boulder formations featured in the Lord of the Rings and Narnia films. Immerse yourself in a remote mountain paradise just over an hour's drive form Christchurch, with tranquil walking tracks through native beech forest just at your back door, and a short drive to lakes, caves and skifields.

Excellent

Well equiped, we enjoyed the spa. The place is defenitly a ski resort, a bit strange in summer. Far from shop or restaurant.
