For the size of our group (11) the size of the property was perfect. View was gorgeous of the lake. The staircase was dangerous and if I had saw photos of it prior to booking it would of definitely impacted my decision of staying there as we did travel with young children and a 2 year old. They do supply a baby gate which eased my concerns for our stay a little bit but I advise to enter from the deck with your belongings and not from the bottom floor as it is a very narrow spiral staircase. The bins outside were full of past guest rubbish including boxes of beer bottles beside them, but bin collection day was mid week so that may have been the case as why it was still there. The king bed in the master bedroom is a mattress on the ground with a frame around it was a surprise. The driveway could of been trimmed back as the small bushes and plants made it hard to bring our vehicles in and all 3 were quite scratched after having to continuously needing to be coming and going as we were there for a sports event throughout a week. But other than all that our stay was pleasant. Just a wee bit disappointed with the price and simple little things can ruin it. But great for large groups of teenagers to adults but don't recommend for young children.

The house is large and suitably held 12 people. Well located in quiet neighbourhood and close to tourist attractions. The house is oldish probably late 1970 to 1980. That is no excuse for poor cleaning. The bathrooms were disgusting but could have been cleaned properly which we had to do ourselves. The property lacks maintenance.
The description as âwheelchair accessibleâ is a joke and totally inaccurate. The bathrooms are not designed for wheelchairs. We selected this property based on this fact and others and were totally misled. No working smoke alarms in the top floor. No first aid kit. The general description needs to be updated as it is inaccurate. The place could be quite enjoyable if cleaning and maintenance were kept up to standard. Could have been an enjoyable holiday but was not. Not worth the money.

Large house with plenty of space for 2 families, comfortable beds, good views and lots of hot water. This house needs some attention and refurbishment, especially in the kitchen but the overall issues were around the cleaning of the property.

Great size house with a beautiful view. Easy to deal with the owners/managers. Having the downstairs room was great for somewhere for the kids to play. Would stay there again.

Great location in a nice neighbourhood. The upstairs area was very warm and comfortable. Downstairs was a little cold and could do with a bathroom. The extra touches such as milk in the fridge, the fruit bowl and the gift for the birthday boy were greatly appreciated! Maria the property manager was lovely, easy to contact and very efficient. We had everything we needed for a family group and will definitely return. Thanks!

Beds comfy, enjoyed the big bowl of fresh fruit on arrival, also plenty of milk, butter, biscuits, tea coffee etc, most unexpected but appreciated. Had a very wet weekend but still got out to enjoy the zip line and luge in the rain, finishing with a nice soak at the Polynesian pools. Heat pump made it cozy, maybe another couch or two to accommodate a larger group would be good. Really appreciated the late checkout and communication with Maria was excellent.Thank you very much!
