Xmas in 'Kune

We had the most wonderful family Christmas at Lena's house. We were so comfortable and communication with host was excellent. House could be improved by having topper pads on top of queen size beds as they are rather hard and better/more lighting in the dining and lounge areas.

Family snow adventure

The house was so functional for our family of 3 adults and 7 children of various ages. There were spaces for everyone to enjoy. The kitchen was a dream with everything available to cater for a big group. The deck had a great view of the mountain and the bird calls in the morning beautiful.

Family house

We had a good time in this house. It had everything needed for two families. The house is very spacious, and since we spent a lot of time inside, the children also had plenty to keep them entertained. Excellent communication with the owner of the house, who was willing to accommodate us when we were planning to stay an extra day. Highly recommended."
