Bungalow in Paradise - Tahi

Total peace and tranquility.
We loved the luxurious accommodation set in a tranquil location with Mother Nature right on your doorstep! The walk to the Boardwalk with my elderly mum was the highlight of her weekend. A little unsure with her footing we took it steady with plenty of stops for a breather. We had a rest on seats in the "hideaway" to watch the ducks, swans and numerous birds on the lake and a slow leisurely walk back along the driveway. It was purely magical and so quiet. We were feeling refreshed in mind and body and ready for a cup of tea when we got back to the house.
A perfect house for a family get together with a few walks and bike tracks. Loved every minute, so we will definitely be back. Thank you to Lesley for having the lights on for our late arrival, the house was warm and cosy. Very highly recommended.

Gorgeous and spacious house our family enjoyed spending Christmas at.
Easy and fast communication and details on getting to Tahi and all the site instructions provided. Lesley was so welcoming and helpful for questions we had upon arrival and during our stay.
