Just a 3 min drive into the town centre, lake and Church of Good Shepherd.
Walk to the end of the road and there’s a nice quiet hiking trail (Cowan’s Hill) which is away from all the main tourist spots in Lake Takepo.
The beds are very comfortable and the house has everything you need for your stay. Do note that this is a 3 level house so you do have some stairs to climb. We stayed for 4 nights and enjoyed BBQ-ing and cooking in this place very much.
