Elizabeth's place is a homey, quiet refuge near the gorgeous lake. The views and area are spectacular. Its a bit out of the way but worth it. The house is spacious but cozy and there is a great back yard with a grill where we cooked out and watched the stars. Elizabeth provided detailed instructions for the house and also provided information for local activities. I stayed here with my husband, sister and brother in law while taking day trips around New Zealand. We really loved staying here, it would be perfect for a family too. There was no internet but we did have cell coverage. The market was a bit of a drive so plan ahead (although there is a small convenience store close by that's open until 8pm).
