We had a nice relaxing stay here. Great view of lake and bird life. House is nice and warm with fire going and also had heat pumps. 2nd stay at this property and enjoyed both times. Great not having to take your own linen and bedding! Had everything we needed. Would definitely go back.

Nice location, beautiful outlook, plenty of indoor space and grassed area towards the lake. Good supply of Air Con units around the house and the furniture was all reasonably good. Good storage in the garage and plenty of driveway space for up to three cars. However, the place really needs a deep clean and some general maintenance, seems pretty neglected in a lot of ways. The adjoining rental is a bit weird with a direct access hollow core door opening onto the internal landing of the master bedroom, easy to hear conversations ! We had a rat in the kitchen eating food overnight, even saw it scuttle under the stove. Management company were informed but seemed not too concerned ? – they have traps under some of the furniture apparently ! Forget bringing a boat. The lake access isn’t deep enough for anything heavier than a jet ski, this would be a struggle though, and muddy. If the adjoining accommodation is being occupied there is effectively nowhere to keep the boat, the driveway is too steep and a sharp transition onto the road. Unfortunately, with borders closed for the last 2 years there has been plenty of price gouging for peak holiday periods, owners may need to re-think this if they want good occupancy going forward. So overall, okay place, but overpriced for what is delivered. With over 12 years renting great places in the lakes district, I wasn't too impressed with this one, but it could be improved.

The size of the property allowed our large group to spread out and enjoy the amenities and location.

Fantastic arrangement of lake activities, hospitality, kayak and dinghy, and board games for the whole family. Reserve within short walking distance. A spacious place to stay for large family or group.

The property was perfect for our family gathering of 7 adults and 3 children, plenty of space for everyone. Was great being able to moor our boat at the jetty. There were a few small maintenance issues which we communicated to the property manager and the addition of an extra fridge would have been helpful as we struggled with the small fridge and such a large group. Overall we loved the property and would certainly like to rent again.

All good. A couple of suggestions. Pls ensure there is adequate dishwashing liquid and more than 1 rubbish bag available. The water pipe under the laundry tub has been leaking. We tightened the connection but there is historical water damage.

A stunningly beautiful house, with everything you could possibly need for a short stay. Our entire family loved the house. Large deck to soak up the sun, and lakeside views. Well provisioned kitchen and 2 living areas. We would absolutely consider staying here again.

Fantastic location and incredible views of the lake. Also i very quiet location House was found very clean and tidy. Plenty of room and the deck area was great for all day relaxing. The only negative, was that there was only 2 tea towels and no kitchen cloths and little cleaning options. Overall a great stay

Great location right on the lake. It was a perfect size for our group of 6 adults and 6 kids. Lots of heat pumps and a wood fire. Interior was a little tired in places and kitchen needed more platters and cutlery for our big group. Would rent again

Loved all of it

Family friendly property which catered for everything we could have needed

Located right next to the wetlands which was beautiful but meant you couldn't swim off the property and had to boat out to the lake. Large, spacious house. BBQ wasn't clean so we didn't use it, lucky we brought our own, we informed the property manager and weren't charged so all good. Would recommend.

We live in okareka and booked this for family .They loved it

Awesome family friendly place on the waters edge, perfect for us will a jetty for our boat. Beautiful peaceful spot highly recommended

The house is of a high standard, very clean and tidy. has everything you need for a relaxing, comfortable stay, thanks

Clean, spacious and beautiful view. We had a relaxing and wonderful stay in a beautiful home in a beautiful location! Thank you!
