Koura Lodge was amazing! We woke up with an amazing lake view everyday and the breakfast served every morning was absolutely delicious! Arun and Sheryl were our host at the time and if you’re lucky enough to get them as hosts you’re going to have the best stay ever! They were extremely accomodating and the best host we had during our 11 day trip in NZ! Highly recommended 10/10
