A-Frame Chalets @ Mokutu

My daughter Joanne and myself Carol stayed 7 days excellent accommodation, Shelly our host was a delight, excellent cabin so clean. Have recommended it to a lot of friends. Thank you Shelly for being a great host. Carol & Joanne.

Fantastic place to stay! The cottages were clean and well appointed. We had a group of 10 aged from 15 to 82 spread between 3 cottages and all were very happy with the accommodation. Sheree and Troy were awesome to deal with. The pool and BBQ area were pristine and impressed us all. The untidy shed surround shown in a previous review on this site was well out of view of the accommodation and must have been in an out of bounds area, as we never saw it and were there at the same time as that reviewer

my sisters and I had a lovely time staying in an A Frame Chalet at Mokutu. Beds were comfortable, both upstairs and down had their own bathroom - shower, toilet and sink. We had use of the washing machine and clothes line. Great quality fridge, coffee machine, toaster, kettle. Concrete driveway, easy to drive in and out. Lovely grounds - very green, lovely plants. We didn't use pool as weather was a bit cool. You need to hire a car, to travel all around the lovely island which is quite hilly in places. It was a short drive to everywhere, including Emily Bay where we had a glass bottom boat ride, and snorkeled. The people we met were all lovely and friendly. Cows and chooks have right of way on the roads - as do any pedestrians of course. We bought lovely clothes, had great coffees and meals, enjoyed all the events we booked ourselves on. Would definitely stay at the A Frame Chalets again!

We were warmly welcomed at the airport by Sheree and after promptly picking up our hire car we were lead around the village and Kingston/ Emily Bay by Sheree who pointed out the essential spots before taking us to our suite at Motuku. They had upgraded our suite and we found everything we needed for our 10day stay. Lovely spot, quiet enough yet close to both the township and the historic Kingston. We came back on day 2 to find Sheree had kindly left us a cake celebrating our 51st wedding anniversary...thank you. We had pre booked a number of tours and at every one we not only learnt more about the island and it's history but getting to know the "locals" and the way of life here. Highly recommend Motuku and Norfolk Island to anyone considering going there.

I originally booked 7 nights but ended up staying only for 1 night due to a number of issues and some misunderstandings, First, we were greeted by a lady at the Airport who took 20 minutes to arrive. We sorted our rental car and were told that we should follow her for a tour around the island but we had to wait for another 30 min - 45 min or so for another flight coming from Australia. We were hungry and tired therefore could not wait. Getting there I thought we were going to be staying in one of the A frame chalets but we were given an unit that looks like more a cheap motel room. It was upstairs and I had to carry several heavy suitcases upstairs without any help (there's no lift). Just opening the door I noticed a big problem as both my partner and I have allergy to mould and easily get a blocked nose. The place stank of mould everywhere and we had to sleep with the window open. There were pieces of old soap in the shower and some fresh stains of a red liquid on the bathroom wall near the mirror (blood ?). Some of the cups in the kitchen smelled of old coffee and milk what makes me believe they were not cleaned properly. Walking around, I noticed that there's a Cafe downstairs but it was closed. There's a swimming pool with BBQ facilities but everything is pretty old and rusty. The entire place needs a total renovation. Passing in front of the A Frame chalets, they look more modern and nicer but cannot make any comments since I haven't stayed there. There's no staff available on site other than the cleaning lady. All communication with the owners needs to be done via phone with ocasional visits. I ended up finding another place to stay for the rest of my visit to the Island. Talking to the owner he offered a refund, apologies and was very understanding. I appreciate that however I would suggest some improvements as the place has a lot of potential but needs a LOT of care.

Stayed at the A-Frame Chalets during our recent visit to Norfolk Island. The Chalets were being completely renovated during our stay, and we had a newly finished unit for our 7 days there. The unit was very comfortable, and the newly outfitted kitchen had brand new appliances, crockery etc. Hosts Sheree and Troy were a pleasure to deal with, and couldn't help us enough! The chalets are on the eastern side of the island, and are conveniently located to the main town, Burnt Pine, and the convict ruins at Kingston. A great place to stay if you're looking for a quiet, relaxing island stay!! Richard & Trish C
