Perfect

Alby & Rachel are the perfect friendly hosts anyone could ask for 😊 We were welcomed by Alby and immediately felt his kind caring nature and he upgraded us to the Kowhai Chalet which was awesome. If you want to experience relaxation and comfort with amazing views I 100% recommend Grafton Cottage & Chalets.

Pros: The hosts ,facilities and view
Cons: Nothing
Location: Great location in the delightfully friendly and historic town of Thames
Hosts Rachael and Albi were brilliant - nothing was too much trouble and the facilities including the pool and hot tub were excellent.
