Quiet and peaceful location. Beautiful views.
Easy access to the lake. Well equipped bach with ping pong table, table hockey and fuseball table. And kayaks. And only 15mins to the Whakarewarewa MTB park. Great for a chilled out break.

Location fantastic. Property had everything we required. A bit dated inside and on closer inspection needs a bit of money spending to refurbish and give it some love but overall pretty comfortable with an awesome view.

The property is spacious and very well equipped for entertaining children (table tennis, air hockey and table soccer) and 1 minute walk to a great swimming beach. It was the second time we have rented this house and we would definitely come again.

Wonderful place for a holiday - really enjoyed the pizza oven and hot tub.
Wonderful place for a holiday - really enjoyed the pizza oven and hot tub.
Found it odd to have to pay $20 per pet (what exactly is this cost going for?) and to not have simple staples like linen and bath mats and dish cloths and tea towels included. Didn't have access to the boat shed or kayaks mentioned in the listing.
Overall was a great break and would love to stay there again.

The property is well equipped should you wish to stay indoors, fabulous luxurious feather duvets on all the beds.
