Morzine self catering accommodation

Does anyone have any good contacts for a little apartment for  family of 4. We don’t need luxury, just 2 bedrooms, little kitchen and living area and some bike storage.

Would like to be within walking distance of the town centre and have some parking for the van.

Not sure if the messaging system is working on here but let me know if you want to tell me something in confidence!

thanks ?

We used   https://www.moremountain.com/ in August from a previous recommendation on here. They were excellent.

Tourist Information have always been brilliant helping us out. Also have you considered staying in Les Gets? There's usually a lot of great accommodation and the parking is so much easier.

I've also booked direct using the square pins on Google maps.

Stayed here in Les Gets.

It’s everything on your list, perfect location right by both lifts.

Can highly recommend this place.

Stayed here over Christmas

Nice views, plenty of room and garage for storage.

The mezzanine bedroom ceiling height is a bit restricted if your kids are older/taller.

Useful thread this, also looking at the same.

@garlando that kind of reccomendation is perfect but it looks like the owners move back in over summer, completely unavailable!

Sounds silly to anyone except you lot but the logistics and security of where we can lock up our bikes is one of the very most important factors, and I trust "secure bike store' on an accomodation listing about as far as I can throw it.

The problem with staying in Les Gets is getting home when a storm rolls in. If you're in Morzine, Avoriaz, Lindarets and they turn the lifts off because of thunder and lightning you're knackered.

You can almost always roll back to Morzine from most places.

we just use airbnb, check reviews and pick somewhere that looks decent.

Its worth noting that most "sleeps 4" accomodation in the alps is pretty pokey - you might want to widen the search to 6-8 bed places if you want room to swing a cat.

I'd definitely echo what 5lab says about number of beds, rooms etc. Be very aware of the :coin de montagne', it might be an alcove separated from the rest of the accommodation by a curtain!

Another quirk we've seen a few times is when owners have reconfigured the space to squeeze in extra beds, leading to (as alluded to above) small mezzanine bedrooms that are not particularly private, especially when accessing other rooms via that space. We (two of us) tend to book a place that seems on paper to be perhaps too big for this reason. Also, outdoor space is always good. Somewhere to sit in the sunshine (it's always sunny, never rains in PdS, honestly!) potter with the bikes, have a beer and eat some lovely food.
