The Boat Shed - Lake Ōkareka Views, Sleeps 4

10/10 Excellent
"Very cool location with beautiful lake views from both sides.Small kitchen and bathroom downstairs. Quite cold in that downstairs area as although there was an excellent heatpump all the heat went upwards and there are no window coverings in the entry. Beautifully warm in the upstairs lounge, bedroom and loft bedroom. Had all we needed for a comfortable stay.We stayed as a family of four. Note the loft bed is right above the other bed and it did sound like the kids were right next to us when they were whispering during the night. Easily solved with earplugs, but something to be aware of.Would stay here again."

"I stayed in mid-July and found the property to be lovely and warm. The heat pump was more than sufficient to keep the home comfortable throughout my stay. It was peaceful and quiet, yet still conveniently close to town. For me, it was the perfect place to stay, and I would happily return.Kind regards,Daisy"
