5-star stay from start to finish ! Joe was a fantastic host : quick to respond, friendly, informative, genuinely interested in facilitating a good experience for guests . Highly recommend his boat trip to the thermal hot springs & lunch at Okere- yum! The house was super stylish , comfy beds and sheets, personal touches (candy, chips, wine, coffee, & condiments to name only a few) were fully appreciated . The property is lovely , quiet, right on the lake. Definitely a memorable stop for our family on our NZ tiki-tour! Thanks Joe & Cynthia!
