Best family holiday ever

Absolutely loved staying here! It was honestly one of the best holidays in nz we have had - absolute privacy for some music - loved the lake and kayaks ! Also very up to date amenities :) no sign so make sure you use google maps (and trust it) but well worth the drive.

Great getaway

The lodge was lovely, with a gorgeous lake, plenty of kayaks and land to play whatever games you’d like. The kitchen was well equipped, and the bbq was great. The bathrooms were lovely and clean with great facilities. Was definitely worth the trip out. The hosts were lovely and great at communicating, thank you for letting us stay :)

Winter wonderland

We enjoyed our time at the property; the view was very pleasant. The only drawback was the lack of a toilet in the lake house. Lauren and the team were super helpful and provided everything we needed. We had a small issue with not getting hot water in one of the bathrooms and in the kitchen on the morning of our last day. over all it was a great stay.
