I can't say enough about this house. It's HUGE and is located on a beautiful lake. We stayed here only for one night as we were traveling through, but had a chance to wake up early and take out the hosts kayak's onto the lake. This house is perfect for a family vacation. There are tons of rooms, furniture, space for everybody. We had a bit of a hard time finding the drive way in the dark and it's a bit steep, so if possible try to arrive early so it's easier to find. Everything about this house was perfect. The host was very easy to get in touch with and was flexible with us when we asked to leave our luggage at his home while we completed our excursion of the day. Overall, this was one of our favorite places that we stayed in while traveling in New Zealand.
