Absolute Lake Front - 5 Mile Bay

EdRating, 5 stars3 months ago

Lovely location on the lake. You do get people walking by, on public path in front of the house, but really was not a bother to us. It was never intrusive in any way, instead relaxing to watch from the deck area or tucked away in lounge room. Plenty of room in the house. Very neat and tidy. Well stocked kitchen for utensils. BYO milk, butter, coffee beans but supermarket a just a 7 min drive, so easy to get these items or anything else you may want. There was tea bags and instant coffee, olive oil. We found it to be a very relaxing place with beautiful views/sunsets.

Lovelace Castle

EdylwiseRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Cozy 2 bedroom house with spa. Spent a night with my visiting in-laws and it fit us (family of 6 and 2 dogs) comfortably. Spa was a nice add after we spent the day out and about. Peaceful community and walking/biking distance to the lake. Stephanie was very communicative throughout the check-in & check-out process.

holiday haven.

BarbaraRating, 5 stars3 months ago

We loved this place. Great living area for socialising, well equipped kitchen, showers had awesome water pressure, several lovely areas to sit outdoors. Perfect for our family get together with some of us staying onsite and others in the town centre. And later some items we'd left behind were returned to us which we were grateful for.

Cabin in Waikite Valley

Fantail Cabin on Lake Ohakuri, Waikite Valley

AndrewRating, 5 stars8 months ago

looking for peace & to switch off from the pressures of city life for a night or two then this is the place for you, Fantastic scenery, private & the option of 3 different rooms. you can hire all 3 and it would be an awesome get away for family or a group of friends. One of the rooms has its own bathroom and the other two shared facilities which were only a couple of meters away in the stockyard shed.All clean safe and great hot shower too! We had the best sleep ever! It is off the grid but the solar power was more than enough for basic power, lighting,charging devices etc.Cell phone reception is patchy but a few steps up to the barn and you well connected to the world again. (also being semi disconnected added to the charm of the place.) Bring all your own food & drinks + maybe a board game or 2 and really just enjoy the awesome spot without having to venture into town &relax. bonus is the use of a private boat ramp, we had our 2 jetskis and had an amazing time exporting the lake
