Jef's place was magnificent. Breathtaking views of the lake and mountains - even better than the photos. Very well-appointed. Excellent amenities and facilities. Myriad exciting activities and good restaurants in the area., and Jef's place is also great just to chill and cook. We thoroughly enjoyed our week long stay. While he was in the midst of a bicycle ride, Jef even patiently took the time to help me troubleshoot an electrical problem caused by one of my devices. The only very minor issue was typical lakeside New Zealand bugs, but we quickly learned to keep screens, doors and windows closed. And Jef had bug spray on hand if we needed it. 5 stars.
