We were delighted to stay in this beautiful home. It was so lovely to be right on the lakeside with stunning views. The house was very well equipped with everything you needed. The furniture and beds were comfortable. We would love to return

Fantastic Location
Location was great right on the Lakefront and Lake Walk with gorgeous views and lovely afternoon sun. Perfect for walks and bike rides. Two Mile Sailing Club with yummy food & drink options and dog-friendly with relaxed vibes is a nice short walk away too. Check-in was easy and good communication with host.

Perfect for stress relief
With a few stressful weeks of relocating my parents to a rest home this was the perfect break away.
Far better than expected, the home is spacious, very well equipment and comfortable, including the beds.
The location was perfect, especially being on the Lake.
This will be at the top of my list for my next NZ break away.

Great spot
Perfect location. Short walk to lakeside cafe and right beside lakeside walk and cycle way. Having the lawnmowing , weedeating and leaf blowing being done while we were there was very loud and felt intrusive, with the worker not hesitating to look through the window at us. Other than that would totally recommend the spot. Very expensive for 2 'gold card' people, but it was absolute lakeside and a treat for us.

Step back in time
Staying here was like stepping back in time to a simpler era. A cosy house with a simple kitchen and mismatched furniture. However it is warm and cosy and has everything you need to fit our family of five comfortably. The shower pressure is great. The ten steps to the lake even better. Make sure to explore the waters edge to find where the hot springs enter. There are many more modern options on the lake but this one truly feels like a home.
We had a brilliant time doing all the activities in the area- hot springs; hiking; cycling; jet boating; white water rafting; luge and some fascinating geography. A great base for a week to explore the area.
