Beautiful property with great views, a real treat. The restaurant for breakfast and dinner was lovely, I helped we had a car for location though they do offer transport if required. I would recommend to anyone.

Kia Ora, Thank you very much for your review. We do advise guests that wish to have a view of Lake Wakatipu, to book a Tahuna Lakeview room as we are often booked out in this category. We hope you enjoyed your experience at Kamana. Kind regards,
