Stunning panoramic Lakeview , spa pool & privacy

CharlesRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Absolutely beautiful location, stunning views, pristine house, comfy bed and very private. Only thing we’d note is the hot tub is super dark around it and it has no steps to get in or out which felt a bit dangerous with having the drop around the edge. Absolutely recommend this place, we loved it and beautiful location.

We stayed there for two nights because we wanted to be near the Tongariro crossing. It ended up being cancelled because of poor weather so we ended up staying in the place for the day and made dinner using their kitchen. We found their place very relaxing and we did the crossing the day after. In the evening, we had an issue with the power but Brian responded swiftly and got the power back online. Great stay!
