About Us...

Your hosts at Chalet Eiger, Hea Min and Emil Horvath-Gerber, have created a personal atmosphere to ensure their guests have a truly exceptional and unforgettable stay, offering an unparalleled opportunity to connect with New Zealand's culture and natural environment.

Having traveled extensively before making New Zealand their home in 1993 and given their cosmopolitan backgrounds, Hea Min and Emil offer an international blend of Kiwi-hospitality, European traditions and Asian charm.

The Lake Taupo area is a truly inspiring place. The landscape is formed by volcanic action in the past, creating a wonderful natural sight of mountains, thermal wonderland and the stunning, clear freshwater lake known as Lake Taupo.

It is one of New Zealand's recreational, cultural, adventure and sightseeing hotspots, offering a wide range of activities. Some of the best trout fishing in the world can be found in this area, while the mighty Tongariro National Park, a World Heritage Area, offers pristine skiing and great hiking and outdoor opportunities.

Combined with thermal hot springs and adventure activities such as sky diving and bungy jumping, Lake Taupo is a genuine unique place. The famous Wairakei Golf course, Jack Nicholas signature golf course and other 3 golf courses make Lake Taupo a golfer's paradise.

We very much look forward to welcoming you in this very special and peaceful part of our world.
