Really loved our time here! Quiet and peaceful and a great location for the lake. A 40 foot walk takes you to a glorious view of the lake. Perfect for an afternoon happy hour. It was cozy and comfortable. Thank you!!
We were here for a wedding such a beautiful little spot. Views of the lake, cozy little cottage with Tim tams on arrival such a nice gesture. If you looking for seclusion quiet and close to all amenities this is your place❤️
All basic amenities provided.
Good heating.
Warm shower.
Views of the lake from the deck.
Easy access to the pub for dinner.
Easily accessible from provided parking.
We had a lovely, albeit short stay

What a fabulous property! Lake front, safe, next to a fantastic walking path, close to shopping, tucked in perfectly (privacy) so it feels like you are off the beaten path and away from the hustle of town. Excellent communication from the friendly and welcoming owner. This was my favorite spot we stayed in while in NZ. Highly recommend.
The property was clean and fully up to my expectation. There was everything we needed.a quiet tranquil place to stay. I would use again next time we headgown that way
This property was very clean and absolutely no communication problems or issues with the hosts. However, the bathroom was a tiny space with a sliding glass door - not very private. Also, the view isn't all it seems in the pictures. Granted, we were there in the rain, but the view it shows in the picture was unavailable to us. I'm not sure if the landscaping grew in or because of the fogginess we couldn't see, but the cabin was farther from the water than we thought it would be.

Small basic and clean accommodation for a short stay. Would recommend but not directly on the lake as shown in property listing…can get a glimpse from outdoor deck but access to a beautiful walking path just a few steps away.
Such a lovely and secluded little granny flat on property with great and easy access to lake front track and beach just around the corner! Lovely quiet and sheltered spot while being right in the heart of the town and easy to walk anywhere needed with shops right nearby! Clean and tidy space, could easily stay for longer!
We enjoyed our stay in this delightful little cottage. It is situated in a private and peaceful setting. The lake and walking tracks are just a few minutes walk away.
Cabin just as listed. Comfortable bed, clean and situated close to lake, cafe and hotel. Lovely and quiet location. Great helpful owner
Perfect for our needs
Location ideal .would be a great spot in the summer.
Clean and comfortable would have liked mat on floor.
Floors cold in winter.

Disliked: Communication
Our hosts unique approach to welcoming guests was a surprise. Being told you have failed to follow instructions by someone you have never met was not expected.
Accomo itself was soulless and overpriced.
Sweet little cabin on the lake front about 5 walk to nice beach with great views over the lake. Great location close to the general store and about a 2 minute drive to the local boat ramp. The cabin has a nice little Terrace which has great sun mid afternoon in the summer. We staying 1 night and the accommodation was perfect for our needs..
Kaz was great with quick responses and all the information we need to make the check in process easy. She was also very accommodating to a few extra needs that we had.

Photos misrepresent cottage in owners garden
The cottage was very clean and nicely decorated however it had no television or radio no puzzles or DVDs or books. Property was at the end of the owner’s garden. Lack of privacy and kids play equipment straight out the window. The cottage was freezing cold in evening and morning and stifling in the afternoon. No way to pass time or cook the simplest meal. Sitting on deck you could hear everyone in house’s surrounding property and people out front above lake. Not for us sorry.

Trouble with wifi, view wasn't what we were expecting, very noisy with rain on roof, uncomfortable bed.
Nice ,clean and warm and close to Hotel. Unfortunately this didn't suit us, would suit younger couples.
