You always have that possible fear and trepidation when you hand over a large sum of money to stay any where on just the photos alone because it looks nice, and I think we have all been there at some point in our travels. This accommodation is shown and described by the owners exactly as it is in everyway, very comfortable and cozy, and with everything you need. It was a great place to just get away to and enjoy the local environment with walks and Okere Falls Café with its fantastic food and meet and talk with very friendly locals.
The clincher for me was the jetty as I had my boat at the bottom of the garden ready to go in minutes and seriously the convenience of that alone and not taking your boat in and out of the water daily is worth its weight in gold.
Yes there is a some traffic noise from the highway, but for me personally I loved that as it showed me that whilst I'm on break my fellow Kiwis were hard at work. It was actually interesting to see what was going on in the world and who was on the move, as my total piece and quite was out on that very spectacular lake Rotoiti in the boat during the day.
Its a fantastic place in a great location and a boaters dream, yes we will be back. Cheers Wayne Johnson
