A-Frame Chalets @ Mokutu

I totally agree with Wilhelmina S and her review. I had the same experience with the accommodation being confused. The cottage which I was relocated proved in need of a good make-over. The mould was a health concern as I had to seek medical advise. The outside had old timber, and junk left in eyesight. The beauty of Norfolk did not disappoint me at all, however the accommodation did!

When I first booked Mokutu, I was drawn to those charming A-Frame Chalets, something a bit different from the usual apartments and hotels I’m used to. On Wotif, I noticed a note saying “a car comes with the property.” But none available for my dates. Did that mean a complimentary runabout, or a car at an extra cost? The mystery remained unsolved, so I booked a hire car elsewhere just to be safe. Fast forward to my arrival: stepping off the plane, I was greeted by Sheree, the warm and wonderfully relaxed owner, along with a gentleman holding car hire paperwork. I hadn’t expected anyone to actually meet me at the airport (despite the small print saying they would), so it was a delightful surprise. Within minutes, I’d somehow signed forms, jumped into a car that definitely wasn’t the shiny Toyota Corolla I’d hired, and found myself trailing behind Sheree while the car beneath me clunked and groaned a little too loudly. She cheerfully pointed out local highlights along the way, including Norfolk Island’s one and only “mall.” Once at Mokutu, the mystery deepened, apparently this noisy little car was already included in my accommodation package. So yes, I could have saved myself about $400 if the Wotif info had been clear. Lesson learned! The chalet itself was as charming as expected. From the outside, the A-Frame looked fresh and well-kept, set against lush lawns. Inside, things were a little more retro, with dated furnishings and a shower recess that was designed for small

We really enjoyed our week at Mokutu. Nothing was too hard for Troy and Shari. They were both so friendly and helpful. Thanks for having us!

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

Booked an AFrame appartment . Was given a 2 bedroom unit . Property needs an update and photos of property are old as there is no view due to the trees that have grown.

Peaceful place to stay A little way out of town but only a few minutes in a hire car. We were met at the airport with the car and shown the way to the units. Having the car organised by the motel made everything simple but the car was rather old and a bit battered. OK for the very short drives on the island. Large unit which would have been ideal for a family with three single beds upstairs and a nice kitchen and pool. Our bed was a bit hard. Very friendly chickens wander into the rooms looking for food and the cockerel is noisy at 4:00am!
