loved this whare, stunning views of the lake. opened up the conservatory windows, enjoyed the views and listening to the Tui with a cuppa each morning.

Steve was so lovely from the very first friendly and helpful communication almost 12mths ago, we were travelling internationally for a large world wide championship event and although many others had their accom cancelled at last minute or double booked we had no issues at all and our stay was amazing. The house was lovely, clean and tidy with all amenities required and exactly as described.

Riverside Paradise

RobinRating, 5 stars2 months ago
I had wonderfully restful time, looking out over the picturesque river. The deck over the jetty was the perfect place to sit and read. kayaking up river is easy and beautiful. Great idea to beach on the flat and go to floating rock for dinner then paddle back to the jetty. Everything was tidy and I could just kick back and relax. Will definitely bring family next time and make use of the pizza oven. Saw there was wood waiting to be used.
