It was a beautiful house. Raewyn and Claire were extremely helpful. Raewyn took me around town and Claire dropped me off at the Wairakei Terraces the next day. I just wish that I knew the place earlier so I could've booked there for an extra few days. The place felt like an absolute 6-star-hotel - though Raewyn is very humble about that. The room has an ensuite with all the modern amenities and a warm shower, a very comfortable bed. The deck outside the living room has a great view of the lake. Raewyn also allowed me to play her piano which greatly relieved my itch for musical expression. Raewyn cooked me a very good breakfast with scrambled eggs (off her hens) and cereal with fruits (off her fruit trees). I had a great time! The place is highly recommended to all.
